HUMANTIES 1: ART APPRECIATION ELEMENTS OF MODULE 4 THE ELEMENTS OF ART The elements of art includes: LINE SHAPE COLOR TEXTURE SPACE FORM VALUE POINT LESSON OUTLINE Learn about elements of arts Evaluate the elements in a variety of artworks Create basic representations of the elements to develop creative expression. “SELF- PORTRA VINCEN IT”, T VAN GOGH, WHAT ARE THE 1889 ELEMENTS OF ART? The elements of art is the fundamental pieces that make up an artwork. Most works of art will make use of many or all of the elements and principles of art. These are the tools that artists use to communicate their ideas. Viewers like us use them to understand what we are looking at. g has This paintin lines.

It can be defined as a singularity in space or, in geometric terms, the area where two coordinates meet. They can form complex shapes, patterns, textures, and any other structure imaginable. Dots in combination can even imply direction and movement, bringing us to lines. GEORGES SEURAT WAS A PIONEER OF MAKING PICTURES OUT OF DOTS OF PAINT. THIS DE TAIL FROM LA PARADE DE CIRQUE 1887-89. THE ELEMENT OF THE LINE The element of line is essential. A line can be lyrically defined as a point in motion. There are many different types of lines, all characterized by their length being greater than their width. Actual Line Implied Lines Straight or Classic Lines CATEGORIES OF LINE Actual lines - are those that are physically present. Implied lines - are those created by visually connecting two or more areas together. Straight or classic lines - provide structure to a composition. They can be oriented to the horizontal, vertical or diagonal axis of a surface. Expressive lines - are curved, adding an organic, more dynamic character to a work of art. THE ELEMENTS OF SHAPE A shape is defined as an enclosed area in two dimensions. They can be created in many ways, the simplest by enclosing an area with an outline. They can also be made by surrounding an area with other shapes or the placement of different textures next to each other. Geometric Shapes - These shapes are classified by name like circle, square, rectangle, triangle, and so on. Free-form shapes - are generally irregular and uneven. Static Shapes - Shapes that appear stable and resting. Dynamic Shapes - Shapes that appear to be moving and active. ELEMENT OF FORM The Element of Form, refers to a shape or three-dimensional volume that has or gives the illusion of having weight, density or bulk. This element portrays the act or process of changing place or direction, orientation, and/or position through the visual illustration of starting or stopping points, blurring of action, etc. ELEMENT OF SPACE Space is one of the basic elements of art. It refers to the distance between the area around and within shapes, forms, colors and lines. two types of space: Positive Space is the actual objects or shapes within an artwork. Negative Space is the space around and between those objects. thin Positive Space - actual object wi an artwork ga ti ve Sp ac e- sp ac e be tw ee n an object Ne within an artwork ELEMENT OF VALUE Value is the relative lightness or darkness of a shape in relation to another. The value scale, bounded on one end by pure white and on the other by black, and in between a series of progressively darker shades of grey, gives an artist the tools to make these transformations. (Approaching Shadows by Lori McNee) CATEGORIES OF VALUES Tint is adding white to a color paint to create lighter values such as light blue or pink. Shade is adding black to a paint color to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red. High-Key is a picture with all light value Low-Key is a picture with all dark values. Value Contrast is light values placed next to dark values to create contrast or strong differences. T AR R Y NIGHT”, ELEMENT OF “THE S V A N G O GH, 1889 VINCENT VALUE: VALUE CONTRAST Vincent Van Gogh was a famous Dutch painter. This painting, "The Starry Night," was created over 150 years ago. He used: shade value tint contrast ELEMENT OF COLOR Color is an element consisting of hues, of which there are three properties: hue, chroma or intensity, and value. Color is present when light strikes an object and it is reflected back into the eye, a reaction to a hue arising in the optic nerve. ELEMENT OF TEXTURE The Element of Texture is the tactile sense we get from the surface of a shape or volume. Smooth, rough, velvety and prickly are examples of texture. Texture comes in two forms: Actual: the real surface qualities we perceive by running a hand over an object Visual: an implied sense of texture created by the artist through the manipulation of their materials. TEXTURE IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ART Three-dimensional artwork relies on texture and you cannot find a piece of sculpture or pottery that does not include it. Fundamentally, the materials used give a piece of art texture. That may be marble, bronze, clay, metal, or wood, but this sets the foundation for the work feels if it were touched. TEXTURE IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL ART Artists working in a two-dimensional medium also work with texture and the texture may either be real or implied. Photographers, for instance, almost always work with the reality of texture when creating art. Yet, they can enhance or downplay that through the manipulation of light and angle. CATEGORIES OF TEXTURE REAL TEXTURE is the actual texture of an object. Artists may create real textures in art to give it visual interest or evoke a feeling. IMPLIED TEXTURE in two-dimensional art is made to look like a certain texture but in fact is just a smooth piece of paper. Like a drawing of a tree trunk may look rough but in fact it is just a smooth piece of paper. thank Reporters: you! Catherine Mae Narbarte Jillian Tatad Jummel Abas Reesy Enguillo Rhea Barnayha
