Tms Exploring 2D Art

Front 1

Line

Back 1

Element of Art:

The path of a point moving through space. It defines the position and direction of the design.

Front 2

Color

Back 2

Element of Art:

Produced by the way our vision responds to different wavelengths of light. All come from the three primaries (red, yellow, and blue) and black and white. Has three properties - hue, value, and intensity.

Front 3

Value

Back 3

Element of Art:

Refers to the relative lightness and darkness and is perceived in terms of varying levels of contrast.

Also one of the three properties of color.

Tint = color + white
Shade = color + black

Various shading techniques (hatching, cross-hatching, stippling, etc.) can be used to create this element in a work of art.

Front 4

Shape

Back 4

Element of Art:

An enclosed space that has length and width, and is two-dimensional; can be geometric (regular) or organic (freeform, irregular); created when a line is connected end-to-end.

Front 5

Texture

Back 5

Element of Art:

Refers to the tactile qualities of a surface (actual) or to the visual representation of such surface qualities (implied).

Front 6

Space

Back 6

Element of Art:

Refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece.

Can be :

Positive (areas of interest) or Negative (empty)

Open or Closed

Shallow or Deep

Two-dimensional (illusion of depth) or Three-dimensional (architecture/sculpture)

Front 7

Form

Back 7

Element of Art:

An object that has depth, length, and width and resides in space. It is perceived as three-dimensional.

Front 8

Pattern

Back 8

Principle of Design:

Refers to the repetition or recurrence of a design element, exact or varied, which establishes a visual beat.

Front 9

Emphasis

Back 9

Principle of Design:

Refers to the created center of interest or focal point, the place in an artwork where your eye first lands.

Front 10

Unity/Harmony

Back 10

Principle of Design:

Achieved when all parts of a work of art combine to create a sense of oneness. Artists typically use repeated elements (shapes, colors, lines, etc.) to create this within a design.

Front 11

Contrast

Back 11

Principle of Design:

Creating tension between opposites. Can be the use of several elements of art to hold the viewer's attention and to guide the viewer's eye through the artwork.

For example: LARGE/SMALL, DARK/LIGHT, SOFT/HARD, BLACK/WHITE, DULL/BRIGHT

Front 12

Rhythm

Back 12

Principle of Design:

Like in music and dance, this is the repetition/alternation of visual movement of the elements (colors, shapes, lines, values, forms, spaces, and textures), often with defined intervals between them.
Can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture. There are many
different kinds, often defined by the feeling something expresses when viewed.

Front 13

Movement

Back 13

Principle of Design:

Occurs when objects seem to be moving in a visual image.The way the artist leads the eye in, around, and through a composition. The path the eye follows, it can set a mood or convey a feeling.

Three Types:

Kinetic: actual physical;

Recorded Action: shift eyes to follow action; Compositional: comparing positions of stationary objects/space within a design

Front 14

Balance

Back 14

Principle of Design:

The way the different parts of a composition relate to one another. Determines the symmetry or visual weight of the artwork.

Three types: Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial

Front 15

Variety

Back 15

Principle of Design:

Involves changing the character of an element, to make it different. This is needed to create visual interest. Artwork that uses many different colors, values, lines, textures, and shapes demonstrates this principle.

Front 16

Art Critique

Back 16

An evaluation of a work of art. Should include constructive criticism: the process of offering valid and well-reasoned opinions about the work of others, usually involving both positive and negative comments, in a friendly manner rather than an oppositional one.

Proportion

Front 20

Composition

Back 20

How the various elements/forms of a work are arranged. The placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of design.

Front 21

3 Properties of Color

Back 21

Hue, Value, and Intensity
