ICT 7 Basic Visual Art Elements

Questions and Answers

Match the elements of design with their correct definitions:

Line = A two-dimensional area enclosed by one or more lines Shape = A visual or recognizable path created by a point in space Texture = The appearance or feel of a surface Color = A particular wavelength of light seen by the eye

Match the principles of design with their characteristics:

Balance = Equal visual weight distribution on both sides Proportion = Relative size of parts within a whole Emphasis = An element that draws the viewer’s attention Unity = Elements delivering the artist's intended statement

Match the types of balance with their descriptions:

Symmetric = Characterized by equal visual weight Asymmetric = Defined by imbalance in visual weight Radial = Arranged in a circular form from a central point Horizontal = Distribution of weight across a lying axis

Match the element of design with its dimensional characteristic:

Line = One-dimensional Shape = Two-dimensional Color = Can be both two- and three-dimensional Space = Can be two- and three-dimensional Signup and view all the answers

Match the descriptions with the corresponding principle of design:

Scale = Size of one object in relation to another Harmony = Elements complementing each other Variety = Creating visually appealing compositions Emphasis = Focus of the viewer’s attention Signup and view all the answers

Match the terms with their corresponding concepts:

Space = The area between or around images Color = Emitted light bands perceived by the eye Texture = Thickness or stickiness of an actual surface Shape = Can be geometric or organic Signup and view all the answers

Match the principles of design with their relevant effects:

Balance = Creates stability in artwork Emphasis = Guides the viewer's focus Unity = Achieves coherence in composition Proportion = Ensures correct scale perception Signup and view all the answers

Match the element to its possible variations:

Line = Can vary in length or width Texture = Defines the feel of a surface Color = Influences the mood of artwork Shape = Can be changed by use of color Signup and view all the answers

Match the principle of design with its statement:

Scale = Refers to the relative size of one object to another Harmony = Elements in an artwork working together Unity = All elements delivering the intended message Asymmetric = A type of balance that is visually imbalanced Signup and view all the answers

Match the types of texture with their definitions:

Tactile texture = Actual texture that can be felt Visual texture = The illusion of texture created through art Simulated texture = Replicates real texture visually Abstract texture = Not based on reality but rather perception Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Learning Targets

Identify elements of design in visual arts.
Determine principles of design that guide art creation.
Appreciate the significance of both elements and principles in design.

Elements of Design

Line: A visible path created by a point; one-dimensional; variations include length, thickness, direction, and color.
Shape: Enclosed area formed by lines, colors, or textures; classified into geometric (squares, circles, triangles) and organic shapes (irregular forms).
Texture: Describes the tactile quality of surfaces; refers to how an object feels or appears in thickness or stickiness.
Color: The perception of light wavelengths; varies based on how objects reflect or emit light.
Space: The area between and around images, affecting composition and depth.

Principles of Design

Balance:
- Symmetric: Equal weight distribution on both sides, creating a sense of stability.
- Asymmetric: Unequal weight distribution, adding dynamic tension.
- Radial: Elements arranged in a circular pattern radiating from a central point.
Proportion: The relative size of components within the overall artwork, affecting visual harmony.
Scale: The size of one object in relation to another, impacting perception and emphasis.
Emphasis: Highlighting a particular element to draw the viewer’s attention, creating focal points.
Unity: Achieved when the elements of a piece effectively convey the intended message of the artist.
Harmony: Occurs when elements complement each other, creating a cohesive visual experience.
Variety: The combination of different elements in a composition that fosters interest while maintaining unity and harmony.
