    ELEMENTS OF ART

    AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN


    What is art?

    Art is a highly diverse range of human activities


    engaged in creating visual, auditory, or
    performed artifacts, artworks that express the
    author's imaginative or technical skill, and are
    intended to be appreciated for their beauty or
    emotional power.
    an outline, sketch, or plan, as of the
    form and structure of a work of art, an
    edifice, or a machine to be executed or
    constructed. Or the combination of
    details or features of a picture, building,
    etc.; the pattern or motif of artistic
    work: the design on a bracelet. the art
    of designing: a school of design.
    Elements of
    ART
    LINE
    A line is the path of a moving point through
    space.
    There are many different kinds of lines.
    Movement, direction, energy and restfulness
    can be depicted through use of line.
    Long
    Short
    Thick
    Thin
    Curved
    Diagonal
    Straight
    Wavy
    Zigzag
    SHAPES

    Shapes have height and


    width
    Shapes are flat or 2-D
    Can be geometric or organic
    Forms has height, width,
    and depth
    Forms are 3- dimensional
    TEXTURE Implied texture is the
    way the surface of an
    object looks like it
    Tactile texture (real
    feels. The texture may
    texture) is the way
    look rough, fizzy,
    the surface of an
    gritty, but cannot
    object actually
    actually be felt. This
    feels. Examples of
    type of texture is used
    this include
    by artists when
    sandpaper, cotton
    drawing or painting.
    balls, tree bark, etc.
    COLOR
    Color is perceived when
    light hits and reflects off
    an object. Three properties
    of color are Hue (name of a
    color), intensity (strength
    of a color), and value
    (lightness or darkness of a
    color).
    SPACE
    The illusion of space is created through
    light and shadow, overlapping, etc.
    There are two types of space: positive
    and negative space.
    Positive space refers to the actual
    subject matter in a work of art .
    Negative space refers to the space
    around and between the subject matter.
    Refers to the lightness or darkness
    of a color. It gives objects depth
    and perception.
    Principle of
    Design
    EMPHASIS
    EMPHASIS is used by an artist to make an element or
    object stand out in a work of art.
    EMPHASIS is used by the artist to control what part of
    the artwork the viewer sees first or most often.
    EMPHASIS is also used by the artist to control how long
    a viewer spends looking at each of the different parts.

    UNITY
    Unity (harmony) is achieved
    when all parts of an artwork
    look as though they belong
    together.
     An artist creates unity by
    stressing the similarities of
    separate but related parts.
    Van Gogh created unity by using a Nevelson created unity in this
    assemblage sculpture by using one
    consistent texture throughout Starry
    color and by incorporating mostly
    Night, and by using primarily cool
    vertical elements. She kept it from
    colors (blues, blue-greens, black).
    becoming monotonous or boring, by

    adding variety (various sizes, a few


    horizontal elements, etc.).
    BALANCE
    Balance in an artwork is the
    arrangement of art elements so that
    no one part of a work overpowers,
    or seems heavier than, any other
    part.

    1. Symmetrical or Formal Balance
    2. Asymmetrical or Informal Balance
    3. Radial Balance
    Symmetrical or Formal
    Balance is created when
    one half of a work of art
    mirrors the other half.
    Symmetrical or Formal
    Balance is predictable,
    thus, sometimes less
    interesting.

    Leonardo da Vinci
    Asymmetrical or Informal
    Balance is evident when
    two unlike objects appear
    to have equal weight.
    When used skillfully, it
    can create more
    interesting compositions.

    Vincent van Gogh


    Radial Balance in
    an artwork occurs
    when the elements
    or objects are
    positioned around
    a central point.

    Georgia O’Keefe
    CONTRAST
    Contrast in an artwork is created
    when the artist makes a difference
    in value, color, texture, shape, line,
    form, or space.
    Patterns and
    Repitition
    Pattern (Repetition) is the repeating of
    shapes, lines, color, or other art
    elements in planned or random order
    to create interest or make the artwork
    more exciting.

    RHYTHM
    Rhythm in art can be described as
    “timed movement through space”
    The eye follows a path of a regular
    arrangement of motifs.
    The “beat” is sensed by the eyes,
    rather than the ears.
    The presence of rhythm creates
    predictability and order in a
    composition.
    MOVEMENT
    Movement in a work of art directs
    the viewer through the art piece –
    often to the focal area. It also
    encourages the
    viewer to sense action within the
    work.
