Lesson 9 Flashcards
The building blocks used to create a work of art are its component
Elements of art
What are the 7 essential elements of art that artists in different media used
Line
Shape
Form
Value
Space
Color
Texture
An art element identified by a point which moves in space
Line
Can be three dimensional descriptive implied or abstract
Line
Maybe used in several different ways in an artwork
Line
It can be used to indicate a range of emotions shapes pattern form structure depth distance rhythm movement and an array of emotion
Line
A flat enclosed area of an artwork created by a shapes structures colors or surfaces enclosed by other elements such as triangles circles and squares
Shape
It can refer to a composition of object within a three dimensional composition; includes height width and depth
Form
The lightness or darkness of colors
Value
An element of art that defines positive and negative areas or a sense of depth attained in an artwork
Space
An art element which consists of three properties; hue, value and intensity
Color
Is the name of color
Hue
Is the lightness and darkness of color
Value
Is the quality of brightness and purity
Intensity
Is the visual element which affects our emotions the most
Color
What are the three properties of color
Hue, Value, and Intensity
The surface quality of an artwork—the ruggedness or smoothness of the material it is made from
Texture
We perceived texture in two ways:
Optically (through sight)
Physically (through touch)
In an artwork refers to its order arrangement or a plan
Organization
It refers to the arrangement combination and configuration of the components to form a whole
Organization
Any organization in the arts has to address these two questions:
Does it make sense?
Is it interesting?
Is the skeleton of the work
Plan
Governed by different art design principles that guide the artist in making the art more beautiful and interesting to the observer
Organization
There are five basic types of line
Vertical
Horizontal
Zigzag
Diagonal and
Curve
Also called as regular shapes
Geometric shape
These are shapes that are easy to recognize and is used in math information also
Geometric shape
Also called as freedom shapes
Organic shapes
These are shapes that seem to follow no rules
Organic shapes
Figures that have a natural look and a flowing curving appearance
Organic shape
It is the solid forms in a design
Positive shapes
Occupy positive space
Positive shapes
It is the shape around the positive shape
Negative shapes
Irregular solid or six equal square sides
Cube
A surface traced by a straight line moving parallel to a fixed straight line and intersecting a fixed planner closed curve
Cylinder
Around solid figure or its surface with every point on its surface equidistant from its center
Sphere
A polygonal base and triangular sides that meet at a point called the apex
Pyramid
Adding white to color paint to create lighter values such as light blue or pink
Tint
Adding black to paint to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red
Shade
Where the picture is all light values
High-key
Where the picture is all dark values
Low-key
Where light values are placed next to dark values to create contrast or strong differences
Value contrast
A scale that shows the gradual change in value from its lightest value why to its darkest value black
Value scale
What are the two types of spaces
Positive space
Negative space
