MIDTERM ART APP Flashcards
are the components or part which can be isolated & defined in any visual design or work of art.
Elements of Art
smallest and most basic element. It can vary in size, value, regularity or irregularity, and can be used alone as a unit in a group. can be used to form a value or pattern (placed close together forms a darker value, further apart forms a lighter value), or to delineate space (larger means closer,etc.)
Point / Mark
is a form with width and length, but no depth
Line
are calm and quiet. It indicate width, rest, response, quietness, calmness, serenity, infinity, contemplation and inaction.
Horizontal Line
suggest more of a potential for movement. It shows height or stature, poise, balance, force, strength, dignity and
dynamism
Vertical Line
strongly suggest movements and give more of a feeling of vitality to a picture.
Diagonal
it connotes chaos, confusion, tension, disturbance, violence or war
Broken or Jagged lines
whether concave or convex, it indicate movements that are smooth
Curved Lines
is defined as an area that stands out from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary, or because of differences of value, color, or texture.
- formed when a line encloses an area.
- have two dimensions, length and width and can be geometric or free-form
Shape
- describes volumes and mass, or the 3D aspects of objects that take up space
- can and should be viewed from any angles
forms
is a 3D volume that can be empty or filled with objects. It has width, height, and depth
Space
name of the colors
hue
are Yellow, Red, and Blue.
Primary hue
are made by mixing two primaries.
secondary colors
are mixtures of a primary & adjacent secondary color.
Intermediate colors
refers to the lightness or darkness of hue.
Value
which refers to the purity of the hue also known as “Chroma”.
Intensity
gives meaning, value, intensity and saturation to an object. It has series of wave lengths which strikes our retina.
Color(hue)
It is the element of the visual arts associated with the sense of touch
Texture
six basic principles of effective design/art
- Balance
- Contrast
- Emphasis
- Pattern
- Rhythm
- Unity
Broadly Lines can be categorized into Three Types
Vertical Lines
Horizontal Lines
Diagonal
Seven Basic Elements of Arts
- point/mark
- line
- shape
- forms
- space
- color
- Texture
3 properties of color
Primary hue
Secondary color
Intermediate color
Balance maybe…
symmetrical and asymmetrical
refers to the appropriate arrangement of objects in a design/art to create the impression of equality in weight or importance
Balance
can be described as having equal “weight” on equal sides of a centrally placed fulcrum. It is also known as formal balance.
symmetrical balance
is more complex and difficult top picture. It involves placement of objects in a way that will allow objects of varying visual weight to balance one another around a fulcrum point. It is also known as informal balance.
asymetrical balance
refers to the combination of different elements of design (for example: rough & smooth textures, dark & light values)in order to highlight their differences or create visual interest , or a focal point.
Contrast
refers to give special attention to one part of a work of art.
Emphasis
refers to keeping your design in a certain format
Pattern
is regarded as a visual temp or beat. It refers to a regular repetition of elements to produce the look and feel of a movement.
Rhythm/ Movement
refers to the arrangement of elements to give the viewer the feeling that all the parts of the design or piece form a coherent whole i.e. designs must be in harmony in which all sections of the pattern make other sections feel complete.
Unity
