Study Notes
Form and Color
-
Form: A three-dimensional figure, as opposed to shape whicLine: Defined as the path of a moving point, it serves as a fundamental element in art.
-
Shape: A two-dimensional area that can be categorized into different types:
- Geometric Shapes: Clear and defined edges, examples include squares, circles, and triangles.
- Organic Shapes: Irregular and often found in nature.
-
Shape: A two-dimensional area that can be categorized into different types:
-
-
- Abstract Shapes: Recognizable forms that are stylized or simplified versions of organic shapes, such as stick figures.h is two-dimensional.
-
-
Color: Includes attributes such as:
- Hue: The actual color, which can be classified into primary, secondary, tertiary, and complementary colors.
- Color Properties: Consists of hue, intensity (brightness), and value (lightness or darkness).
- Achromatic: Art that uses only black, white, and greys.
- Monochromatic: Utilizes variations of a single color.
- Warm Colors: Reds, pinks, yellows, and oranges, often associated with fire.
- Cool Colors: Greens, blues, and purples, associated with water.
Visual Elements: Value and Texture
-
Value: Defines the lightness and darkness of a color, categorized into the following:
- Tint: Created by adding white to a color.
- Shade: Created by adding black to a color.
- High-Key: Consists entirely of light values.
-
Texture: Can be categorized into:
- Real Texture: The actual tactile surface of an object.
- Implied Texture: Appears textured but is a smooth representation.
Space and Composition
-
Space: The area surrounding, between, or behind objects; includes positive and negative space.
- Positive Space: Area occupied by objects.
- Negative Space: Area around objects.
Principles of Art
- Fundamental principles used to manipulate elements of design include:
- Proportion: Relational sizing of parts to one another.
- Variety: Diversity in elements to enhance interest.
- Balance: Equalizing visual weights; either symmetrical, radial, or asymmetrical.
- Movement: Guides viewers’ gaze across the artwork.
- Rhythm/Repetition: Use of repeated elements to create a pattern.
- Emphasis: Drawing attention to a focal area.
- Unity/Harmony: Cohesion of components within art.
- Contrast: Differences that emphasize elements.
Balance Types
- Symmetrical Balance: Identical arrangement on either side of a central axis.
- Radial Balance: Elements radiate from a central point.
- Asymmetrical Balance: Balance using unlike elements with equal visual weight.
Movement in Art
- Movement is created through techniques such as overlapping objects, aligning edges, emphasizing forms, and creating paths for the viewer’s eye.
Rhythm and Pattern
- Rhythm/Repetition: Repeating an element enhances visual flow and creates patterns.
- Motif: A recurrent thematic or visual element in a work of art, commonly forming patterns.
