    Study Notes

    Art Elements and Concepts

    • Shape refers to a two-dimensional area defined by edges; can be geometric or organic.
    • Form encompasses three-dimensional objects; examples not including form are flat shapes, patterns, and outlines.
    • The primary characteristic of color is its three main properties: hue, intensity (purity of color), and value (lightness or darkness).
    • In visual art, 'value' indicates the lightness or darkness of a color, influencing how elements are perceived in relation to light and depth.
    • Texture's defining trait involves the surface quality of an artwork; misconceptions often arise around the tactile experience versus visual appearance.

    Art Styles and Movements

    • Realism is distinguished by its focus on depicting everyday life and ordinary scenarios in a truthful manner without embellishment.
    • The art style of distortion is notably associated with artists like Francis Bacon, who manipulated forms to convey emotional depth and psychological insight.
    • Wassily Kandinsky is recognized as a pioneer of abstraction, emphasizing emotional expression through color and form over representational accuracy.
    • The art style characterized by an interplay of pure elements such as shape and color, devoid of specific subject matter, is known as non-objective art.

    Artistic Definitions

    • In the realm of art, 'line' is defined as a mark made by a tool moving across a surface, serving to outline shapes, create texture, and define forms within composition.
