What do you think?

Do artists start an artwork and hope for the best or do artists use planning and rules?

Artists use rules!!

Do you remember what are these rules called?

ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES

Elements of Design

The elements of design are the seven basic building

blocks of art & design.

Without these building blocks the principles are meaningless. Think of them as “Legos:” parts, pieces or elements of something

bigger or whole. We use directions and rules to make something.

Principles of Design

The basic rules of aesthetics that guide in the organization of elements in a work of art.

Without these directions the elements are meaningless. Think of them as “Legos Directions:” Rules or steps to utilize

many different, similar and identical elements to create a meaningful, cohesive and understandable piece of artwork.

A mark. Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and

can show emotion in an artwork.

Line

Element of Line

Contour lines- outline the edges of forms or shapes

Gestural lines- indicate action and physical movement

Element of Line

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “line”2. Copy the definition of line on the

opposite side from the laminated notes3. To the right of the definition draw and

label an Interrupted Line and a Varied Line

4. To the left of the definition draw and label an Organic Line and a Geometric Line

Element of Line

Element of Shape

When a line curves or corners around and the end connects to the beginning creating a contained area.

GEOMETRICsquare, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, circle, cone

ORGANICfree form shapes, shapes in nature for example:

leaves, trees, clouds, animals

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “shape”2. Copy the definition of shape on the

opposite side from the laminated notes3. To the right of the definition draw and

label an example of an organic shape4. To the left of the definition draw and

label an example of a geometric shape

Element of Shape

Color has three properties:1. The first is: Hue: The name of a color

2. The second property of color is:Value: the lightness or darkness of

a hue

3. The third property of color is:Intensity: the purity of a hue; the

brightness or dullness of a hue

Hello ART 8

Value: Tints and Shades

Tints-adding the color

Shades- adding the color

white

black

Element of Value

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “Value”2. Copy the definition of Value on the

opposite side from the laminated notes3. Use colored pencils to add different lights

and darks to the letters of the word Value4. Use colored pencils to create at least 4

different tints (lights) to the right5. Use colored pencils to create at least 4

different shades (darks) to the left

Intensity: Neutral Colors

Colors that are neither cool nor warm. Neutral colors, called tones, are made by adding two complimentary colors (opposite on the color wheel) together.

Element of Texture

Textures are the quality of a surface.Actual texture – texture that you can feel with your sense of

touch.Implied texture – texture that has been simulated on a drawing

or painting to appear as if it has texture.

Hatching and Cross Hatching

Line can be used to create value and textures

HatchingCross Hatching

Stippling

Small marks, dots or shapes can be used to create value and textures

Stippling

Element of Texture

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “texture” and add different textures in each letter

2. Copy the definition of texture on the opposite side from the laminated notes

3. Use thin sharpie add and label an example of hatching and cross hatching to the right To the left, in sharpie add and label an example of stippling and scumbling

Element of Space

The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks.

Around, above, inside, outside, positive or negative.

The feeling of space in a drawing or painting is always an illusion.

Artists combine the use of light and dark value with other techniques.

Linear perspective, and atmospheric perspective create the illusion of space.

Linear perspective“Snow in New York”

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “space”

2. Copy the definition of space on the opposite side from the laminated notes

3. To the right of the definition draw a vase on a table like you see to the right

4. Label the Positive Space and Negative Space

Element of Space

5. To the left of the definition draw a simple road moving into the distance with trees getting smaller and smaller like you see below

Element of Form

The quality of shape in 3D and 2D artworks. Form describes volume and mass, or the three-dimensional

aspects of objects that take up space. Forms can be realistic, abstract, geometric, organic etc. Form is implied in 2D artworks using value.

1. In Sharpie Ink the world “form”2. Copy the definition of form on the opposite

side from the laminated notes3. To the right of the definition draw a simple circle label this: “no form” 4. To the left of the definitiondraw a sphere using shading label this: “form”
