The Elements of Art
▪The Elements Of Art are line, color, shape, form, texture, space, and value. These are the artist tools.
![Page 3: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
LINE
▪A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. Lines can outline forms and can be used to express moods or ideas as follows.

VERTICAL LINES▪ Vertical lines often
communicate a sense of height because they are perpendicular to the earth, extending upwards toward the sky. In Ansel Adams’ photograph of Aspens, vertical lines suggest dignity, growth, and strength.

HORIZONTAL LINESHorizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest because objects parallel to the earth are at rest. In this landscape of Lake George by Georgia O’Keefe, horizontal lines also help give a sense of space. The lines delineate sections of the landscape, which recede into space.

THICK LINES
Thick, dark and rigid lines can be foreboding and express a heavy feeling. Heavy, thick lines generally portend menace and emphasis such as these in Picasso’s Nude and Still Life.

SHAPE & FORM
▪ Shape and form define objects in space. Shapes have two dimensions—height and width—and are usually defined by lines. Forms exist in three dimensions, with height, width, and depth. Forms can also be implied in 2-D art by using shading.
![Page 8: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SHAPE – FLAT TWO-DIMENSIONAL
Shape has only height and width. Shape is usually, though not always, defined by line, which can provide its contour. In Matisse’s Blue Nude, the shapes are flat areas. If defined at all by line, it is the line created in the white spaces around the blue shapes.
![Page 9: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FORM – THREE-DIMENSIONAL
Form has depth as well as width and height. Three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture. Three-dimensional forms can be seen from more than one side, such as in Degas’ Little Dancer.

GEOMETRIC SHAPES & FORMS
Geometric shapes and forms include mathematical, named shapes such as squares, rectangles, circles, cubes, spheres, and cones.
![Page 11: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ORGANIC SHAPES & FORMSOrganic shapes and forms are typically irregular or asymmetrical. Organic shapes are often found in nature.
![Page 12: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
COLOR▪ Color is often the element that immediately attracts our attention. Color has four main characteristics: hue (red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), intensity (how bright or dull it is), and temperature. Colors can be described as warm (red, orange, yellow) or cool (blue, green, violet), depending on which end of the color spectrum they fall.
![Page 13: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
COLOR WHEEL▪ Primary Colors (red, yellow, blue) when
mixed make secondary colors.
▪ Secondary Colors (orange, green, violet) when mixed with a primary make tertiary or intermediate colors
▪ Monochromatic is a color scheme that uses only ONE color and black and white.
▪ Analogous is a color scheme that uses three to four colors next to each other on the color wheel.
▪ Complementary colors are opposite of each other on the color wheel.
▪ Neutral colors are brown, black, white, and gray. A neutral can usually be made by mixing two complements.

TEXTURE
▪TEXTURE: is the element of art that illustrates how something feels to the touch. Artists use color, line, and shading to imply textures.
![Page 15: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
TEXTURE
▪ In Toulouse-Lautrec’s Seated Dancer with Pink Stockings, texture is implied by using scratchy lines in the tulle of the costume and dark heavy lines under the seat of the figure. Even the straight, vertical lines in the background imply a texture in the wall.
![Page 16: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SPACE
▪ Real space is three-dimensional. Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the picture plane. The area around the primary objects in a work of art is known as negative space, while the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space.
![Page 17: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
OVERLAP
▪ Overlap is used as a tool to make us assume that one object is in front of the other.
Overlap demonstrated by Cezanne
![Page 18: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
DIMINISHING SIZE
▪ Diminishing Size gives us a sense of depth because distant objects appear smaller than near objects.
Diminishing Size demonstrated by Hopper
![Page 19: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
VERTICAL PLACEMENT
▪ Vertical Placement shows depth because we perceive similar sized objects that are placed lower in the image as closer to us, and objects that are placed higher as being further away.
Vertical Placement demonstrated by Seurat
![Page 20: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ISOLATION
▪ Isolation shows importance to a subject or a portion of a subject. It can be achieved by leaving large amounts of space around an object or by emphasizing a portion of an artwork.Isolation
demonstrated by da Vinci
![Page 21: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
VALUE
▪ VALUE: is the range from white to black or light to dark. Value is what makes drawings and paintings look “real.” High value is on the light end of the scale and suggests tinting. Low value is on the dark end of the scale and suggests shading.
![Page 22: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
SUPEREALISM WITH PENCIL VALUES
▪ Chuck Close makes these drawings of Chuck on the left and Bob on the right look “real” by using values!
![Page 23: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
▪ Below, Michelangelo’s The Hand of Adam also demonstrates the use of values.
![Page 24: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
![Page 25: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
▪The Principles Of Design, balance, movement, rhythm, unity, variety, and emphasis, are the guides he follows to use his tools.
![Page 26: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BALANCE
▪BALANCE: describes how artists create visual weight in an artwork. There are three types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.
![Page 27: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE
▪Symmetrical (formal) balance means both sides of an imaginary line are the same.
![Page 28: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ASYMETRICAL BALANCE
▪Asymmetrical (informal) balance means each side of an imaginary line is different yet equal.
![Page 29: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
RADIAL BALANCE
▪Radial balance means lines or shapes grow from a center point.
![Page 30: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
VARIETY
▪ VARIETY: occurs when an artist creates something that looks different from the rest of the artwork. An artist may use variety to make you look at a certain part of the artwork or simply to make the artwork appear more interesting.
Jasper Cropsey painted a large tree to create variety in his landscape, “In the Valley.”
![Page 31: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RYTHYM
In Okazaki, Ando Hiroshige’s bridge supports create a rhythm (through repetition) that leads your eyes through the landscape.
RHYTHM: Artists create visual rhythm by repeating art elements and creating patterns.
![Page 32: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
REPETITION
▪Repetition: repeating lines, shapes, colors or patterns in a work of art.
![Page 33: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
EMPHASIS
▪EMPHASIS: Artists use emphasis to make certain parts of their artwork stand out and grab your attention. The center of interest or focal point is the place the artist draws your eye to first.
![Page 34: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
EMPHASIS WITH COLOR
▪ In the first example, color emphasizes the woman’s head. The rest of the art is barely seen.
![Page 35: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
EMPHASIS WITH SIZE
▪ In the middle, the number 5 is huge and everything else looks as it is all the same scale.
![Page 36: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
EMPHASIS WITH TEXTURE
▪ In the last example, the absence of pattern on the letter & envelope emphasize them.
![Page 37: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
MOVEMENT
▪MOVEMENT: refers to the arrangement of elements in an artwork organized in such a way to create a sense of motion.
![Page 38: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ANTISIPATED MOVEMENT
▪ Anticipated Movement, as on the left, causes us to feel that motion is imminent. We know from past experience that some kind of movement will occur.
![Page 39: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
MULTIPLE IMAGES
▪ Multiple, overlapping images give us the impression of motion. We can see that the figure on the right has moved through a series of poses.
![Page 40: The Elements of Art & Principles of Design Study Guide for Success](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103101/56649e585503460f94b517e6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
UNITY
▪ UNITY: is the feeling that everything in the work of art works together and looks like it fits.
