Elements of ART
+
LINEArt would be NOTHING without line!
Line is a MOVING POINT
Line Defines Shapes, objects and Form
TYPES OF LINE
Contour LINE
Gesture LINE
Many others curved, dotted, jagged.
+Contour Line
Contour means "outline", and shows exterior edges of objects
clean, connected lines, no shading (an open "shell" of the subject).
The line describes visible edges of an object.
Pure Contour drawings can have strength, clarity and simplicity.
Details like color, shadow and highlight are ignored
Draw only clearly defined edges
RESIST the temptation to color in shadows.
+
Gesture LINEAlthough a more relaxed line is used still pay attention to the direction of lines on the object.
This type of line is more free and Expressive
Quick line used to show motion or the quick form of a person or object.
+Mini Sketch Assignment
Try to make as many types of lines as you can.
Repeat each type of line several times.
Try all types of lines: wavy, curly, jagged, dashes, fat, thin, etc.
Fill your page with as many lines as you can.
+
SHAPE
Width+Height=SHAPE
Shape is an area enclosed by line.
It is 2 dimensional
Can be geometric or organic
+ Geometric Shape
Most are Angular except circles or ovalsMost Geometric shapes are man made.
Except Honeycomb
+ Organic Shape
Natural look and a flowing and curving appearance. Leaves, plants animals.
+Mini Sketch Assignment
In your Element Book Draw an example of geometric and organic shape working together to create a composition!
+
TEXTURE
is the actual surface feel of an area or the simulated appearance of roughness, smoothness or many others.
There are 2 types of Texture
Actual
Implied
+ Actual Texture
How something ACTUALLY FEELS! The real feel of an object!
+ Implied Texture
The illusion that something has Texture!Implied Texture is created through value!
+Mini Sketch Assignment
In your Element Book, Draw an example of Implied Texture
+

Value is the lightness or
darkness of a surface.
It is often referred to when shading but value is also important in the study of color
+
GREY SCALE
See how the value goes from black to white, or Dark Value to Light Value.
+Mini Sketch Assignment
In your Element Book Create a Value Scale.
+

Color is the most
expressive of the elements
and can also be very tricky to use properly,
+ Color
Color is the most expressive element of art and is seen by the way light reflects off a surface .
Primary-RED YELLOW BLUE.Secondary- Green, Purple, OrangeTertiary- Yellow Orange, Blue Green ect
Complementary, Tone, Tint, Shade.
+Mini Sketch Assignment
Create A Small Color Wheel with primary and Secondary Colors.
+
Space:

Space is the illusion of objects having depth
on the 2-dimensional surface. Linear and
Atmospheric perspective are used.
+
Linear and Atmospheric PerspectiveAtmospheric Perspective
Or Atmospheric Perspective
refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance.
Colors become less Saturated (TINTS) usually blue.
Linear Perspective
Straight lines are drawn to represent the horizon and visual rays, connecting the viewers eye to a point in the distance
Horizon line
Vanishing Point
+Mini Sketch Assignment
Draw an example of Linear Perspective in your Element Book
+
Form
Forms are 3-Dimensional. They occupy
space or give the illusion that they
occupy the space.
Height + width + depth = form Examples, Sphere, Cube Pyramid
+Mini Sketch Assignment
Draw an example of Form in your Element Book…. Cubes, Spheres ect.
+A Mini ProjectDo you UNDERSTAND how
the elements work TOGETHER? Create a collage using our- Scrap Magazines and one
other medium to create a collage. { Make SURE magazines and Scrap’s are as clean or in better condition than when you found them!!!!}
Use 5 of the 7 Elements in your Collage! { Element Books will can be a good way to check if your Collage really uses the Element} NAME, PER, DATE and Write the 5 elements you use and where they
are found in your collage!
Use a paper out of your Sketch book or come to ME for a paper.
Use Rubber Cement to glue magazine pieces
Any other medium can be used to enhance: Sharpie, Pastels, Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils { Try to make the
2 magazine and other medium work together.. BE CREATIVE!
+COLLAGE??? col·lage (k-läzh, k-)n.1. a. An artistic composition of materials and objects
pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.
Assembling (putting parts together) to create a unified whole Drawing!
Once finished you will be put into groups to discuss your collage each group will choose one collage to talk about in front of the class.
