Visual Elements of Art Definitions
- Line: A series of connected points that serve as the foundation of many visual compositions.
- Space: The area occupied by an object, crucial for creating perspectives.
- Atmospheric perspective: Utilizes light and air properties to create depth in artwork.
- Linear perspective: Involves a vanishing point to establish depth and scale.
- Shape: Enclosed areas formed by lines, categorized into geometric, organic, and abstract shapes.
- Positive space: Refers to the area occupied by the object itself.
- Negative space: The background area surrounding the object.
- Forms: Three-dimensional figures that add to the physical presence in art.
- Color: An essential element that conveys mood and emotion.
- Hue: The pure, basic color attribute.
- Value: Indicates the lightness and darkness of a color.
- Saturation: Refers to the brightness or dullness of a color.
Color Wheel and Schemes
- Color wheel: Displays the arrangement of primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
- Monochromatic: Utilizes variations of the same hue in different gradients for a cohesive look.
- Analogous: Comprises four adjacent colors on the color wheel for harmony.
- Complementary: Involves a primary color and its opposite for high contrast.
- Split complementary: Similar to complementary, using a color and two adjacent to its complement.
- Triadic: Features three colors spaced equally on the color wheel for balance.
- Tetradic: A double complementary scheme involving two pairs of complementary colors.
Texture and Space
- Texture: Refers to the feel or appearance of a surface; can be tactile or visual.
- Actual texture: Tangibly felt surface quality in physical artworks.
- Implied texture: Visual suggestion of texture created in two-dimensional works.
- Types of space perspective: Linear and atmospheric perspectives provide depth.
Motion in Visual Arts
- Time and motion: Concepts that explore movement within artwork.
- Illusion of movement: Common in two-dimensional art, creating a dynamic visual experience.
- Actual motion: Seen in kinetic sculptures that physically move.
Principles of Art
- Proportion: Analyzes the size relationship between different elements in art.
- Harmony: Achieves unity within an artwork, creating a cohesive whole.
- Variety: Refers to diversity and the use of different elements to maintain interest.
- Movement: The visual flow that leads the viewer's eye through the artwork.
- Rhythm: The repetition of elements that creates a visual beat or pattern.
- Balance: The distribution of visual weight to achieve stability.
- Emphasis: Highlights certain elements to draw attention and create impact.
Kinds of Lines and Shapes
- Lines can be categorized into curved, dotted, broken, diagonal, horizontal, and vertical types.
- Shapes are divided into geometric (mathematical), organic (natural), and abstract (non-representational) types.
