TRANSCRIPT
LINEThere are many types of lines: thick, thin, horizontal, vertical, zigzag, diagonal, curly, curved, spiral, etc. Lines are basic tools for artists—though some artists show their lines more than others.
Parallel or Cross Hatching Lines
• Marks created with repeating lines are used to create texture, patterns or shading
• By creating lines that are close together or intersecting them at diagonal angles, delicate or harsh shading can be achieved. The more lines that are clustered next to one another or crossing over each other, the darker the shading becomes.
• The shading can also be altered by the pressure of the tool used to make the marks. However, if ink is being used, pressure will not alter the intensity of color. Instead, choosing to make less marks or make them further apart from one another will give the effect of lighter shadows.

Value • The relative darkness or lightness of a tone, shade, or color.
Value/Gray Scale
• A gray scale features the two extremes: one end is white, at the other end is black, and every shade of gray comes in between.

•A Closed Line
•Can be geometric, organic, or biomorphic
•Shapes are flat and can be expresses in length and width

Here we see examples of how Line and Shape
can be used to create
value and texture
Using shapes to create value
How a surface quality is seen or felt, or how it is perceived to be felt.
Texture:
Tactile texture (real texture) is the way the surface of an object actual feels. Examples of this include sandpaper, cotton balls, tree bark,
puppy fur, etc.
Implied texture
is the way the surface on an object looks like
it feels. The texture may look rough, fizzy,
gritty, but cannot actually be felt. This
type of texture is used by artist when drawing or painting.

Space
Space: Negative space is the area between and around objects.
Positive space is the
defined space which the
artist designates as
an object.
Negative space is the
resulting shape defined by what space is “left” from
what the positive space
took up.
Is the white area the positive space...or the negative space?
In art Space can also refer to the illusion of depth.
Aerial Perspective
What do we see when we view a real landscape?
-Features and objects appear lighter and less detailed as they recede into the distance. -They appear to lose color, or saturation, fading into the background. This color is normally blue, but can be red or even golden yellow, depending on the time of day and atmospheric conditions.
Aerial Perspective
Linear Perspective
Types of Linear Perspective:
One-point two-point and three-point perspective, classified according to the number of vanishing points in the drawing. One-point perspective is normally used when simple views are depicted, such as a railway track disappearing into the distance directly in front of the viewer.
Color: Light reflected off objects. Its main Characteristics are:
Hue, The name of the color like blue
Value, how light or dark it is
Intensity, how bright or dull it is.
The Color WheelName the:
-Primary Colors-Secondary Colors-Tertiary Colors-Complimentary Colors-Analogous Colors-Warm Colors-Cool colors
Primary Colors

Red Blue
Yellow
Complimentary colorsTwo colors on
opposite sides of the color wheel,
which when placed next to
each other make both appear
brighter.
Vincent van Gogh.Vase with Twelve Sunflowers.August, 1888.Oil on Canvas, 91 × 72 cm.
Analogous Colors:Analogous colors are colors that are adjacent to each
other on the color wheel. Some examples are green, yellow green, and yellow or red, red violet and violet.
Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing to the
eye.
Dale Chihuly, from the Garden and Glass Art Museum, Seattle, Washington
Monochromatic:
A color scheme which uses one hue and its
various values.
Even though it is monochromatic, it achieves a depth
through the use of different values

Are mostly of red, orange, and yellow. This family of colors is called WARM because they remind you of warm things like the sun or fire.
Warm colors:
Are made mostly of green, blue, and violet (purple). This family of colors is called COOL because they remind you of things like a cool lake or forest.
Cool Colors:

Vincent van Gogh, 1888
"Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I see before me, I make more arbitrary use of color to express myself more forcefully ... To express the love of two lovers by the marriage of two complementary colors." -- Vincent van Gogh,
1888.
