when producing works of art. Those elements are shape, form, value,

SHAPE

S h a p e

.

Geometric Shapes that are created through use of mathematics. These shapes include Circle, Oval, Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Hexagon, Octagon and Pentagon.

Organic An irregular shape, or one that might be found in nature, rather than a regular mechanical shape.

An enclosed space

This painting by Frank Stella contains interlocking geometric

shapes.

This painting by James Roper shows an explosion of organic and cloudlike shapes.

Understanding how artists us SHAPE by KQED 3.21 min

formAn element of art that is

three dimensional, or 3-D, which means the object has (1) height, (2) width,

and (3) depth.

FormForm

Examples of FORM include Cubes, Spheres, Pyramids, Cones, and Cylinders or any 3D art including sculpture, architecture, pottery, jewelry, etc.

Vs.

How are these the same ? How are these different? Which is a form? Which is a shape? How do you know?

Understanding Form (good description of form on a 2D surface) by KQED Arts 2.57 minutes

V A L U E V A L U E *

An element of art that refers to the lightness or darkness of a colorApplying VALUE in a drawing also describes 3-D objects

Pure Color

Tint (color + white)

Shade (color + black)

Tone (color + grey)

To create a TINT of a color – Add WhiteTo create a SHADE of a color – Add BlackTo create a TONE of a color – Add Grey

Techniques used to achieve various degrees of Value are Hatching and Crosshatching.

Understanding how artists use VALUE by KQED 3.36 minutes

Shading/BlendingCrosshatching Hatching

In which drawing did the artist apply VALUE by crosshatching?

How do you know?

A mark made by a moving point that has length and direction. Often is defines a space, and may create an outline or contour.

Words that DESCRIBE Line include; vertical, horizontal, diagonal, straight or ruled, curved, bent, points, angular, thin, thick, or wide, interrupted (dotted, dashed, broken) blurred or fuzzy…

Understanding how artists use LINE by KQED 3.25 minutes

Color is produced when light strikes an object and reflects back to the

eyes. COLOR*

Complementary Colors* AnalogousPrimary/Secondary Colors opposite on the color wheel Colors next to each other

Color Schemes

Monochromatic *A work of art showing different VALUES of one color

Understanding Color Theory Basics by KQED Arts

*

An element of art, texture is

the surface quality or "f

eel" of

an object,, its smoothness,

roughness, softness, etc.

Textures may be Actual or

Implied

While simulated textures are suggested by* an artist in the painting of different areas of a picture — often in representing* drapery, metals, rocks, hair, etc.

Actual textures can be felt* with the fingers

Understanding Texture by KQED Arts

S P A C ES P A C EAn element of art that refers to the distance or area between, around, above, below, or within things.

Understanding how artists use SPACE by KQED 4.53 minutes

S P A C E as an Element of Design refers to distances or areas around, between or within things in a work of art.

•SPACE includes the background, foreground and middle ground,

•SPACE are two kinds of space: negative space and positive space.

background- is perceived furthest from the viewer.

middle ground -located between foreground and background.

foreground -appears closest to the viewer

within a composition is divided into three parts….the foreground, middleground, and background. You must be able to identify these parts.

The Elements

The Principles of Design

If we use the Burger example…We have the ingredients (Elements of Design) to make our

burger… how do we prepare the

ingredients???…Grill the hamburger,

sauté the onions, shred the lettuce, melt the

cheese…etc.(Principles of Design)

The Principles help us to explain how the artist uses line, shape, form, color, value,

space, texture (or the Elements of Design).

These are words we use to ANALYLZE These are words we use to ANALYLZE a work of art. There are 8.a work of art. There are 8.

Symmetrical balance: where the art elements in a composition are evenly balanced. The balance can be a mirror image or equal

Asymmetrical balance: refers to a design that has dissimilar elements but still appears balanced, dividing a picture in half won't have the exact same elements however the elements they do have are varied and seem to balance one another out.

B a l a n c e Balance refers to the arrangement of the parts of the artwork equally or near equally in terms of “visual weight" on each side.

RHYTHM and

Understanding Rhythm in a work of art 2.41

RhythmRhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them. Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture. There are many different kinds of rhythm, often defined by the feeling something evokes when viewed. - regular, flowing, progressive (sequence)

Repeating the Elements of Design (line, color, shape, form, texture, space) or anything else!

creates movement, rhythm, texture

Pa T t E r N

MM OO VV EE MM EE NN TTMovement is the art

principle that uses some of the elements of art to

produce the look of action or to cause the viewer’s eye to sweep over the art work

in a certain manner.

In Starry Night, famed artist Vincent Van Gogh creates movement in his sky.

How does he show us this?

How Unity is achieved in works of art 6 minutes

Understanding Unity 2.17 minutes

& Harmony

What do you think Cezanne used to keep this painting, Mt. Victoria, unified or working together?

Emphasis creates a disruption to the eye’s movement in

an artwork and develops a center of interest, or focal point.

EMPHASIS *

Contrast

Emphasizes the difference between two or more Elements of Design

Colors – warm vs. cool, complementary, intense vs. dullTextures – smooth vs. roughLine Direction – horizontal vs. vertical/diagonal/curved

Some of the most common ways of creating Contrast are by creating differences in:

Sizes – large vs. smallShapes – geometric vs. organic/free Form- real vs. abstractValues – light vs. dark and

Contrast 1.52 minutes

Variety Variety is a principle of design that refers to a way of combining visual

elements. It is a technique used by artists who wish to increase the visual interest of their work.

Artwork that makes use of many different hues, values, lines, size, textures, and shapes reflects variety. Keeping the same size while

changing the color can also show variety.
