Study Notes
Elements of Painting
- Painting is a style of creating an expression by applying colors to a flat surface or various mediums like canvas, clay, glass, paper, walls, leaf, paper, or woods.
Abstraction and Composition
- Abstraction, composition, drawing, and other aesthetics serve to manifest the expressive and conceptual intention of the artists.
- Painting records the most delicate gesture and tells whether the painter sat, stood, or crouched in front of the canvas.
Line
- A line is the simplest element in a painting, made by a moving point that outlines shapes and contours areas within those outlines.
- Lines can suggest movement (vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and curved) and have different meanings: vertical lines stress action, strength, and dynamism; horizontal lines mean serenity, calmness, and stability; diagonal lines express tension and movement; curved lines appear soft, flexible, and gentle.
Color
- Artists use colors to convey feelings and moods within their paintings.
- Color is the result of wavelengths of light reflecting off objects and is composed of three distinct qualities: hue, saturation, and value.
- Primary colors are red, yellow, and blue, which can be mixed to produce secondary colors like green, orange, and purple.
Texture
- Texture is a component of two-sided and three-sided designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties.
- In two-dimensional models like painting, texture refers to the visual "feel" of a piece.
Perspective
- Perspective is an art technique for creating an illusion of three-dimensions with depth and space.
- Its goal is to create a viewpoint for the audience that best communicates the subject and serves its particular message.
- Perspective is synonymous with "viewpoint" and "position."
