Art App Unit 4 Flashcards
These are considered the “building blocks” of art.
Elements of Art
They are joined together in a variety of ways to formulate art.
Elements of Art
What are the Elements of Art?
Line, Shapes, Form, Space, Color, and Texture
The most fundamental of elements of design.
Line
It is the starting place for most
artistic creation whether one is starting a fine drawing or painting or even sketching
ideas for a sculpture.
Line
Most design begins in ______?
Lines
What are the 7 different lines?
Horizontal Lines, Vertical Lines, Diagonal Lines, Zigzag Lines, Curved Lines, Actual Lines, and Implied Lines
A straight line differs in the directions they take.
Horizontal Lines
This usually indicate calmness and rest.
Horizontal Lines
These show strength, balance, and
stability.
Vertical Lines
These does not lean at all.
Vertical Lines
They indicate movement or action as may be seen in the posture of a runner or horse in full run.
Diagonal Lines
These may indicate stress, frustration, or defeat.
Diagonal Lines
These are the diagonals from angles and change direction suddenly.
Zigzag Lines
These indicates chaos, conflict, and confusion.
Zigzag Lines
These are are organic and natural and adjust direction regularly.
Curved Lines
In here, the artist intentionally shows the line in an artwork
Actual Lines
These are used by the artist to make a viewer feel their involvement
in interpreting the composition by seeing and connecting lines where none
actually exists.
Implied Lines
These are the interesting element of the visual arts.
Shapes
These are the result from the coming
together of lines enclosing an area and separating it from its surroundings
(Fichner,2013)
Shapes
What are the 4 Kinds of Shape?
Geometric Shapes, Organic Shape, Biomorphic Shape, and Amorphous Shape
These are regular and precise and present an industrial feel to the
viewer.
Geometric Shapes
These have a natural appearance and are usually curvilinear and
irregular.
Organic Shape
These manifest some qualities of biological organisms.
Biomorphic Shape
These exist without any basis from either nature or geometry.
Amorphous Shape
These are used in artwork that has three dimensions instead of two as shape.
Form
An element of the visual art that fascinates both the artists and the viewers.
Space
What are the 3 Illusion of Space?
Overlapping, Relative Size and Linear Perspective, and Atmospheric Perspective
In this, the objects that are near will be
seen as complete or whole while the objects that are far would be partly covered by objects in front of them.
Overlapping
In this, the farther the object is from
the viewer, the smaller is the size of the
object.
Relative Size and Linear Perspective
This is also known as aerial perspective.
Atmospheric Perspective
In this, the illusion of depth is created by techniques known as gradient (a gradual change).
Atmospheric Perspective
What do you call the technique that shows the illusion of depth in Atmospheric Perspective?
Gradient
This is the most expressive
element of art.
Color
This has been observed that this appeal to our emotions and interact with the psychology of the visual system to amaze us into the matter in which is perceived.
Color
What are the physical properties of color?
Hue, Value, and Intensity or Saturation
It is the name for which color is known.
Hue
This is determined by
the wavelength of light physically given by the color.
Hue
This refers to the lightness and darkness of color.
Value
This refers to how pure the color is.
Intensity
Pure hues pertain to the absence of what colors ?
White, black, and gray
What are the two color systems that exist?
Additive and Subtractive Colors
Who discovered the colors of light?
Newton
He first conceptualized the color wheel.
Isaac Newton
Light to dark color system
Subtractive
Dark to light color system
Additive
These can be
described as a circle divided
equally into twelve parts
representing the twelve colors and
how they relate to one another.
Color Wheel
What are the primary colors?
Red, Blue, and Yellow
