ELEMENTS OF ARTS

LINESLine is defined as a mark that spans a distance

between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional work. Implied line is the path that the viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colors, and form along a path, but may not be continuous or physically connected, such as the line created by a dancer's arms, torso, and legs when performing an arabesque.

EXAMPLES OF LINES

HORIZONTAL LINES – parallel to the ground - means to be at

rest

VERTICAL LINES – move straight up - means dignity and strength

EXAMPLES OF LINES

DIAGONAL LINES – lines that are leaning - means

uncomfortable

CURVED LINES – lines that seem to change directions.

- means graceful

EXAMPLES OF LINES

Zigzag Lines – combination of diagonal lines - means action, excitement,

confusion

TEXTURESurface quality of an objectThe texture is the quality of a surface or the

way any work of art is represented. Lines and shading can be used to create different textures as well. For example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey. It can be implied or real. What you can feel with your sense of touch.

KINDS OF TEXTURES

TACTILE TEXTURES – real textures, you can touch and feel

KINDS OF TEXTURES

ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES – human-made surface quality

KINDS OF TEXTURES

Visual Textures – revoked by a photograph or picture depicting an object

FORMRefers to an object with three dimension

( height, width and depth )Form may be created by the forming of two

or more shapes or as three-dimensional shape (cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.). It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color. Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. Examples of these are sculpture, theatre play and figurines.

SPACE Refers to the distance or area within the objects Space is the area provided for a particular

purpose. Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. There are two types of space: positive and negative space. Positive space refers to the space of a shape representing the subject matter. Negative space refers to the space around and between the subject matter. Space is also defined as the distance between identifiable points or planes in a work of art.

COLORDerived from reflected lightColor pertains to the use of hue in artwork and

design. Defined as primary colors (red, yellow, blue) which cannot be mixed in pigment from other hues, secondary colors (green, orange, violet) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors. Further combinations of primary and secondary colors create tertiary (and more) hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations in Value; other tertiary colors are derived by mixing either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color.

PRIMARY COLORS

Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors. For human applications, three primary colors are usually used, since human color vision is trichromatic.

YELLOWREDBLUE

SECONDARY COLORS

A secondary color is a color made by mixing two primary colors in a given color space.

COLOR HAS THREE PROPERTIES

Hue – is the color’s name

Value – is the property of color concerned with the lightness of darkness of a hue

Intensity – is the brightness or dullness of a color

COMPLEMENTARY COLORS

Colors opposite to each other on the color wheel

Red and Green are complementary colors

MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME

Harmony of one color and its variations or different values of a single color.

A color scheme using dark blue, medium blue, light blue are monochromatic

ANALOGOUS COLORS

Colors that are side by side on the color wheel and share a hue.

SHAPESTwo – dimensional figure enclosed by a line.Shape pertains to the use of areas in two

dimensional space that can be defined by edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) Shapes are defined by other elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form.

GEOMETRIC SHAPES

SQUARE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE RECTANGLE, OVAL

Precise shapes

ORGANIC SHAPES

These are not regular or not even shapes
