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.
