Importance of Elements of Art
It is a fundamental building block of creating and understanding visual art
It has different elements that contributes to convey meaning and emotion as well as to its composition and aesthetic appeal
Basic building block of a visual design
Distance or path between 2 points
Series of points that extends in the opposite direction without end
It can define shape, convey movement, suggest depth
Line
Types of Line
Horizontal
Vertical
Diagonal
Curve
Primary the line of rest & quietness, relaxation contemplation
Straight line that runs parallel to the horizon or it typically runs from left to right and vice versa
Horizontal Line
Pointed, balance, forceful and dynamic
Extends from top to bottom
Vertical Line
Line of action
Degree of action is shown in the angle of diagonal
It is slants at an angle
Convey energy in composition
Diagonal Line
Show action & life and energy, they never harsh & stern
Smooth
It suggest softness, elegance and fluidity adding sense of grace and harmony to a piece of art
Curve line
It is a two dimensional design & it only have height and width which are defined by lines or boundaries
It can be geometric or organic
Shape
Types of Shape
Geometric
Organic
Refers to a two dimensional figure that can be described using mathematical formula or properties that has well defined boundaries and angle that convey precision in composition and order
Geometric Shape
Refers to a two-dimensional form that lacks the precise, regular, and geometric characteristics of geometric shapes
It is irregular, free-flowing and asymmetrical, resembling natural forms found in the environment
It convey movement, grow and life characterized by curved line, smooth
Organic Shape
Refers to the three-dimensional aspect of an object or composition
Relates closely to line in both definition and effect that comprises the shape of an object within the composition
Form is created through the use of various elements such as line, shape, color, texture, and value, which give objects a sense of depth, solidity, and presence within a space
Form
Types of Form
Geometric
Organic
Refers to three-dimensional shapes that have precise, regular, and mathematical properties.
characterized by straight lines, sharp angles, and distinct edges, giving them a sense of order, symmetry, and precision.
often used in architecture, sculpture, and design to create structures, objects, and compositions with clear, defined shapes and volumes
Geometric Form
