Elements of Art• Perspective
• Light
• Color
• Form
• Motion
• Proportion
• Symbols
• Lines
Perspective• Perspective is the way in which artists create an
illusion of depth on a flat surface. For hundreds of years painters have tried to represent accurately a scene that exists in three dimensions on a two-dimensional canvas. One of the ways to create this illusion is to make the objects that are far away smaller than those that are closer to the viewer.
Giovanni Arnolfini and His BrideJan Van Eyck, 1434
Light• Just as stage designers use lighting to spotlight a
performer, painters will often highlight important elements in paintings
Color• Use of different colors provide emphasis, emotion,
etc. Often colors highlight parts of an image to draw specific attention to it.
Form• By using light and shadows, artists give volume to
their subjects. One way one can give figures three-dimensional form is to reflect light off their bodies and paint shadows cast by them.
Motion• Depicting motion is a technique painters use to keep
our attention focused on the picture.
Proportion• Proportion usually refers to the way different
elements in a painting relate to each other in terms of size.
Symbols• Many artists include items that symbolize other items,
emotions, beliefs, ideas, etc.
Lines• An identifiable path of a point moving in space. It can
vary in width, direction, and length.
