Split Page Note Taking And beach ball review
What are the elements and principles?
The elements and principles are the building blocks used to create all types of art.
They are the components in an artwork that can be isolated and defined.
Art Elements: Line, Shape, Form, Space, Color, Texture
Design Elements: Balance, Proportion, Rhythm, Emphasis, Unity, Movement, Pattern, Repetition, Variety
Line Lines lead your eye
through the composition and define the edges of an object.
Lines can vary in size and direction. (vertical, horizontal, thick, thin, etc), which helps communicate the image to the viewer.
Shape Shapes help define a
two- dimensional object.
They can vary in height and width.
The ovals and rectangles describe the architectural details in this fresco painting.
Shapes can help define the lights and shadows.
Form Form is very similar
to shape, except it occupies three-dimensional space.
It has width and height, but it also has depth.
The bean is a spherical-like form. You can see all around it.
Geometric vs. Organic shapes and forms
Space In two -dimensional
art, artists can give the illusion of space and depth with shading and perspective.
Positive and Negative Space
Color
Color is simply the light reflected off an object. It can bring excitement and life to a work of art.
Hue- actual color Intensity- brightness or dullness Value- lightness and darkness
The artist used light colors to describe the candle flame. The dark values give the work a sense of mystery.
Texture Texture is the surface
quality of an object. Artists can convey texture on
two dimensional and three-dimensional works.
This artist using heavy blending of the brush to get the sense of smooth texture in the fabric.
Beach Ball- Formal Analysis
Now that you know the elements of art, you can formally analyze and describe its parts.
Describe how that artist used a certain element.
