Allen High SchoolFall Semester Midterm Exam
Elements of Art
•Form•Line•Shape •Color
•Texture •Space•Value
Line• A continuous mark
made on some surface by a moving point
• 2D = pencil mark• 3D = wire• Implied = series of
unconnected points that cause your eye to create a line
• Outline or Contour
More lines!
Color
• How light reacts when it reflects on an object or surface
Color - Intensity
Color & Value
Shape
• Enclosed space defined by other elements of art.
• Usually 2D• Can be 3D (but
used as a general term)
Form
• 3D• Encloses Volume, as a
kind of “visual weight”• Examples: • Cubes, Spheres,
Cylinders
Color
• Has 3 Properties:1. Hue- the name
of the color2. Intensity-
brightness or dullness
3. Value- lightness or darkness
Color - Intensity
Color & Value
Value
• Describes the darkness or lightness of a color.
• Value is needed to express Volume
Value makes Volume
=
Value:
• The lightness or darkness of a color
Texture
• Refers to the surface quality or “feel” of an object
• Roughness or smoothness• Hardness or softness• Texture can be felt in 3D works or “implied” in
visual/2D drawings, paintings or photographs
TextureActual & Implied
Space
• The distance or area between, around, above or within things
• It can be a description of both 2D & 3D works
Space
Both Positive & Negative Space are important!
Principles of Design
• Emphasis•Balance•Harmony•Variety
•Movement•Rhythm•Proportion •Unity
Rhythm • A type of movement• Seen in repeating shapes and colors• Alternating light and dark shapes also creates rhythm• Also called Pattern or Repetition
Balance
• Sense of stability • Can be created by repeating shapes or
repeating the feeling of weight within a work• 3 Types of Balance:• Symmetrical, Asymmetrical & Radial
Balance – 3 TypesSymmetrical & Asymmetrical & Radial
Radial Balance
Asymmetrical Balance
Symmetrical Balance
Proportion• Also called Scale • Refers to the relationships of size of objects in
a work• Smallness & largeness
Repetition: Using the same image over and
over again
Harmony
• Using similar elements throughout the work.
• Gives artwork an “uncomplicated” feel
Unity
• The feeling of oneness• The parts equal a whole• Elements of Art tie
everything together.• No confusion
Emphasis
• Developing points of interest to pull a viewer's attention
(“focal point”)• Or thematic
emphasis= focusing on one idea or theme
Movement •Adds excitement to work by showing action and direction. •Moves viewer’s eye throughout work
Variety
• Using different shapes, textures, colors & values to make a piece interesting
Contour LineLines creating
boundaries that separate one area from another; they
define the edges and surface ridges of an
object
Outlines
• The outside edge of an object.
Blind ContourDrawing in which only contour lines
are used to represent subject matter. Artist keep their eyes on the object they are
drawing and concentrate on direction and
curves.
GESTURE DRAWING
• More generally, a gesture drawing may be any drawing which attempts to capture action or movement.
Thumbnail Sketch
• A brief/small sketch of ideas for brainstorming and composition
Composition
• The overall arrangement and organization of visual elements on a 2D surface
Color
1. Hue- the name of the color
2. Intensity- brightness or dullness
Primary Colors – exist by themselvesYou can NOT mix them!
Secondary Colors – PurpleGreen
Orange
Tints of colors
1 color + white = Tint
Shade
1 Color + Black = Shade
Complementary Colors
Are OPPOSITE on the color wheel!
Red and GreenOrange and BlueYellow and Purple
Analagous Colors
Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel
Warm Colors
• Colors that suggest warmth
• Yellow, Orange, Red and some Purples
Cool Colors
• Colors that suggest coolness
• Green, Blue, most Purples
What are different techniques to show Value?
1. Hatching – parallel lines
2. Cross-hatching – perpendicular lines
3. Stippling - dots
Hatching
Cross Hatching
Stippling:
• The act of drawing with small dots
Noli Novak
Achromatic
• To be without color or pigment
• Greyscale • Black and White only
Monochromatic – 1 color with black and white
Implied Line
• A series of unconnected points that cause our eyes to create a line
What is a critique?
Using knowledge to evaluate or analyze a work of art.
To review, discuss or compare an artwork
You do it every time you complete a RUBRIC!
21. Color Pencil Questions
a) Linear – color pencil technique showing contour and value change, use of LINES
b) Mixing – using light pencil pressure with a color pencil in an already existing GRAPHITE drawing
23. (continued)
c) Scraffito- scraping away or scratching into the outer surface to reveal underneath
d) Burnishing – using white (or any light color) with heavy pressure over an area of color
e) Wax bloom – the hazy finish that sets in on a color pencil drawing after a period of time
23. Continued
f) Layering – overlapping graphite pencils with colored pencils.
g) Frottage – creating a texture or pattern by coloring over a texture surface. A rubbing.
