What are the Elements of Art?

line, shape and form, space, color, and texture.

It refers to a point moving at an identifiable path—it has length and direction

Line

He first executed the public mural "Todos juntos podemos parar el sida" (Together We Can Stop AIDS) in Barcelona in 1989.

Keith Haring

It refers to the orientation of the line.

HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES

convey movement and instability, although the progression can be seen.

Diagonal Lines

Lines that are reminiscent of violence, conflict, or struggle.

Crooked or jagged lines,

These are lines that bend or coil. They allude to softness, grace, flexibility, or even sensuality.

CURVED LINES

refers to two dimensions:

Shape

refers to three dimensions: height, width, and depth

Form

These shapes find origin in mathematical propositions, As such, its translation and use are often man-made. These include shapes such as squares, triangles, cubes, circles, spheres, and cones, among others.

Organic

One of the most important Spanish artists who is known for his prints, he is a master of etched works and use of aquatint. He made use of this medium to articulate his political views about the ills of society, war scenes, and even the dreamlike and grotesque while still engaging with what was happening around him. As with most etchings and other types of prints, lines are dominant visual components.

Francisco de Goya

He created "The Raft of Medusa" (1818-19) Oil on canvas. Musée du Louvre, Paris

Théodore Géricault,

These two are related to each other in the sense that they define the space occupied by the object of art.

Shape and form


These shapes find origin in mathematical purposes as such as translation and use are often man-made. This includes shapes such as squares triangles cube circles spheres and cones among others.

Geometric

It is related to shape and form and is usually inferred from a sense of depth whether it is real or stimulated.

Space

It is located in the middle of the at&t plaza at the millennium park in the loop community area in chicago

Cloud gate

These space are usually identified with the white space is the negative space the positive space the other hand is a space where shadow is heavily used.

Positive and negative space

The white space is the....

Negative space

The positive space is the...

Space where shadow is heavily used

....... Can be stimulated through a variety of techniques such as shading. An illusion of three dimensionality can be achieved in a two dimensional work.

Three-dimensional space

It is the element of art that is perhaps one of the elements that enhance the appeal of an artwork.

Color

This element is a property of light as it is reflected of the object it is not intrinsic to an object and without light one cannot perceive this.

Color


It was the first and ravel by the experiments undertaken by sir isaac newton in 66 it is the ray of sunlight passing through a prism reveals an array of colors akin to that of rainbow.

Color theory

The order of the colors in the color wheel starting from blue.

Blue, blue violet, violet, red violet, red,


red orange, orange, yellow orange, yellow,


yellow green, green, blue green.

It is the first property of color. This dimension of color gives its name.

Hue

The hue can be subdivided into ...

Primary secondary and tertiary colors.

The primary colors are...

Red yellow and blue

The primary colors are...

Red yellow and blue

The secondary colors are...

Green orange and violet

The tertiary colors are...

Tertiary colors these user achieved in primary and secondary color are mixed.

This refers to the brightness or darkness of color

Value

This is often used by the artist to create the illusion of depth and solidity a particular mood communicate a feeling or establishing a scene

Value

These colors taken as the source of light in the composition

Light colors

The lock or even absence of light

Dark colors

This is a lighter color than the normal value

Tint

This is a darker color than the normal value

Shade

This is the colors brightness or dullness. It is identified as the strength of color, whether it is vivid or muted.

Intensity

What are the types of intensity and give their meaning?

1.Bright or warm colors - positive energy


2.Dull or cool colors - sedate/soothing, seriousness or calm


3.Monochromatic harmonies - use the variations of a hue. An example is Claude Monet's "Houses of Parliament."


4. Complementary harmonies - involve two colors opposite each other in the color wheel. Since they are at contrary positions, the reaction is most intense.


5. Analogous harmonies - make use of two colors beside each other in the color wheel. Other harmonies have emerged such as triadic harmonies, which equidistant sites within the color wheel.

This can be either real or implied. This element in an artwork is experienced through the sense of touch (and sight). This element renders the art object tactile.

TEXTURE

Texture can be implied using one technique or a combination of other elements of art. By creating this visual quality in the artwork, one can imagine how the surface will feel if it was to be touched. Some of the words used to describe texture are the following: rough or smooth, hard or soft, hairy, leathery, sharp or dull, etc. To be able to simulate the texture of a surface in a flat, two- dimensional plan is one important skill that an artist must be familiar with, especially if his idea or concept necessitates it.

Textures in the two-dimensional plane

refers to the texture of the three-dimensional art object.

Surface texture

It is the actual surface of the painting or drawing, where no illusion of a third dimensionexists.

Picture plane

When was chiaroscuro developed?

During the Renaissance, specifically in the fifteenth century

It made use oflight and dark contrasts and tones in which paintings not only looked three-dimensional, but also more dramatic.Aside from this technique, linear perspective changed the way pictorial representation was done.

chiaroscuro

Its use was based on the following observations:

a. As forms and objects recede, the smaller they become. b. We were taught that parallel lines never meet. However, when they, too, seem to converge when they recede into a distance, at a point, they both disappear. This point of disappearance is called the vanishing point.

What are the three viewpoints?

normal (view standing up),


low (view from a lower angle), or high (view looking down on a scene) depending on the position the viewer takes.

What are the three types of perspective, grounded on the number of vanishing points used by the artist?

One-point perspective


Two-point perspective


Three-point perspective

We were taught that parallel lines never meet. However, when they, too, seem to converge whenthey recede into a distance, at a point, they both disappear. This point of disappearance is called?

Vanishing point

often used in depicting roads, tracks, hallways, or rows of trees; this type of perspective shows parallel lines that seem to converge at a specific and lone vanishing point, along the horizon line.

One-point perspective

pertains to a painting or drawing that makes use of two vanishing points, which can be placed anywhere along the horizon line. It is often used in depicting structures such as houses or buildings in the landscape that are viewed from a specific corner.

Two-point perspective

in this type of perspective, the viewer is looking at a scene from above or below. As the name suggests, it makes use of the three vanishing points, each corresponding to each axis of the scene.

Three-point perspective

What are the AUDITORY elements of art?

rhythm, dynamics, melody, harmony, timbre, and texture.

Often associated to the terms beat, meter, and tempo, rhythm is the element of music that situates it in time. It is the pulse of the music.

Rhythm

It is the basic unit of music

Beat

Tempo refer to its...

speed (beats/second)

Classical terms are used to refer to the variations in tempo, some of which are:

Largo - slowly and broadly ● Andante - walking pace ● Moderato - at moderate speed ● Allegro - fast ● Vivace - lively ● Accelerando-gradually speeding up ● Rallentado - gradually slowing down ● Allargando - getting slower, broadening ● Rubato - literally "robbed time," rhythm is played freely for expressive effect

The element of music that refers to the loudness or quietness of music is ...

Dynamics

Classical terms are used to refer to the different levels pertaining to this:

Pianissimo [pp] - very quiet ● Piano [p] - quiet ● Mezzo-piano (mp) - moderately quiet ● Mezzo-forte [mf] - moderately loud ● Forte [f] - loud ● Fortissimo [ff] - very loud When composers indicate an increase, or decrease in loudness, they use the terms crescendo for the former; and decrescendo or diminuendo for the latter.

refers to the linear presentation (horizontal) of pitch. By horizontal, it means that in musical notation, it is read in succession from left to right. Pitch is the highness or lowness of musical sound

Melody

If melody is horizontal, ...... is vertical. It arises when pitches are combined to form chords. When several notes are simultaneously played, this refers to a chord. Harmony can be described in terms of its "harshness": dissonance is the harsh-sounding combination while consonance is the smooth-sounding combination.

HARMONY

It is often likened to the color of music. It is a quality that distinguishes a voice or an instrument from another. Dependent on the technique, the timbre may give a certain tone or characteristic to music, much like how a painter evokes different effects or impressions onto the canvas

Timbre

The number of melodies, the type of layers, and their relatedness in a composition

Texture

Textures of music may be

● Monophonic - single melodic line ● Polyphonic - two or more melodic lines ● Homophonic - main melody accompanied by chords

The principles of Art are:

balance,


scale and proportion,


emphasis and contrast,


unity and variety, harmony,


movement,


rhythm, and


repetition and pattern.

- This principle refers to the distribution of the visual elements in view of their placement in relation to each other.

Balance

There are three forms of balance:

SYMMETRICAL - the elements used on one side are reflected to the other This offers the most stable visual sense to any artwork.


b. ASYMMETRICAL - the elements are not the same (or of the same weight) on each side, putting the heaviness on one side. c. RADIAL - there is a central point in the composition, around which elements and objects are distributed


SCALE AND PROPORTION

Scale pertains to the size in relation to what is normal for the figure or object in question.



Proportion, on the other hand, is the size of the components, or of objects in relation to one another when taken as a composition or a unit. This can also refer to values such as amounts or number of elements or objects in the composition.

Proportion can be

Natural - relates to the realistic size of the visual elements in the artwork, especially for figurative artworks. When it is the accuracy in relation to the real world that the artist is after, this is now referred to as the principle of scale.


b. Exaggerated - refers to the unusual size relations of visual elements, deliberately exaggerating the immensity or minuteness an object. In relation to this, there are notions in scale that differentiate when an element is smaller than expected (diminutive), and when something appears to be larger than what is presumed (monumental). c. Idealized - most common to those that follow canons of perfection, the size-relations of elements or objects, which achieve the most ideal size-relations.


EMPHASIS AND CONTRAST

Emphasis allows the attention of the viewer to a focal point(s), accentuating or drawing attention to these elements or objects. This can be done through the manipulation of the elements or through the assistance of other principles, especially that of contrast. Contrast is the disparity between the elements that figure into the composition. One object may be made stronger compared to other objects (hence, emphasis). This can be done in many ways using the elements of art. For instance, space, specifically the use of negative and positive space, is an example of contrast. Another example is the use of complementary colors in a work of art.

UNITY AND VARIETY -

Unless intended to be otherwise, compositions are intended to imbue a sense of accord or completeness from the artwork. This is unity.

Harmony

Like what is hinted above, unity and variety is related to the principle of harmony, in which the elements or objects achieve a sense of flow and interconnectedness.

This refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the artwork, often guided by areas or elements that are emphasized. These focal points can be lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art, among others.

Movement

This is created when an element is repeated, creating implied movement. Variety of repetition helps invigorate rhythm as depicted in the artwork

RHYTHM

REPETITION AND PATTERN

- Lines, shapes, colors, and other elements may appear in an artwork in a recurring manner. This is called repetition. In addition, the image created out of repetition is called pattern. With repetition, there is a sense of predictability that is conveyed, which in turn imbues the feelings of security and calmness.
