Elements of A R T
By: “Glo” Nelson-Green
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:Define each of the elements of artExplain properties of colorClassify each hue on the color wheelDistinguish between color schemes
Introduction
Elements are the basic art components
Five general elements exist: Line, Shape/Form, Space,
Texture, and Color Elements work together to
create art principles of: Unity, Pattern,
Movement/Rhythm, Balance, Emphasis, Contrast, and Proportion
Let’s examine each element individually
LINE Characterized by length and direction. Creates contours and form.
SHAPE / FORM
Shape is a simple closed contour (circle, square, triangle).
Form adds the 3rd dimension to shape.
SPACE Adds depth and dimension. Can be negative or positive.
TEXTURE Explains the surface appearance and feel.
COLOR Is the response to differing wavelengths of radiation within the visible spectrum.
Introduction
Elements are the basic art components Five general elements exist:
Line, Shape/Form, Space, Texture, and Color
Elements work together to create these art principles: Unity, Pattern, Movement/Rhythm, Balance,
Emphasis, Contrast, and Proportion
Let’s examine each element individually
LINE Represents order and function Gives eyes explicit directions where to look Consists of one continuous stroke of a marking
implement Can be short, long, thick, narrow
Types: actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, contour
Some lines are decorative Examine the lines on the next slide
Samples of Lines
Lines
SHAPE / FORM
ShapeTwo-dimensional area defined by actual or
implied linesClassified as either geometric or organic
FormActual or implied three-dimensional version of
shape Next are Shape and Form comparisons
SHAPE / FORM
SHAPES: FORMS:FORMS:
S P A C E
Consists of depth and dimension Relies on other elements for effectiveness Illustrated either negatively or positively
Negative occurs when background is prominent element
Positive results when forefront is prominent Next slide shows examples of space
S P A C E
NEGATIVE POSITIVE
The visual or tactile appearance of a surface
Texture can be actual or simulated Includes smooth, rough, soft, warm,
grainy, shiny, and woven “Left-Click” to see and identify each
texture on the next slide
COLOR A component of light and represents emotion
Red = danger or passion Blue = peacefulness, calmness Yellow = warmth, the sun
Depicts atmospheric wavelengths Allows items to stand out from background Properties: value, intensity, classification Color wheel offers numerous combinations
Color Wheel
Primary colors are the “truest” huesCannot be ‘mixed’ from other colorsThey are: Red, Yellow, and Blue
Color Wheel Secondary colors result from mixing two
primary colorsThey are: Orange, Green, Violet (purple)
Color Wheel There are six tertiary (intermediary) colors Mixture of one primary and one secondary
Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, and Red-Violet
Color Wheel
Here is the completed color wheel:
Colors
Neutrals are “accent” hues, not on color wheel
They include: beige, white (void of color), black, and grays
COLOR Color schemes are everywhere – in nature, your
home, and works of art! Common schemes are:
COMPLIMENTARY (opposite ends of color wheel)
TRIADIC (three colors equally separated on wheel)
ANALOGOUS (three adjacent colors)
MONOCHROMATIC (varying values of one color)
Review The lesson objectives:
Define each of the elements of art Explain properties of color Classify each hue on the color wheel Distinguish between color schemes
Mentally answer the following 12 questions Use “left-click” on mouse to reveal the answers. Then “left-click” again to go on to the next question.
Review Questions1. Which of the following pairs are both elements?
A. Balance and Texture B. Color and Contrast C. Space and Shape
D. Pattern and Line “C” is correct!
2. True or False. One definition of LINE is connecting Point ‘A’ straight to Point ‘B.’
FALSE; lines do not have to be “straight”
Review Questions
3. Texture concerns
A. the visual or tactile quality of a product
B. contrast between complementary colors
C. the comparison of two dissimilar elements
“A” is correct
4. True or False. Monochromatic color schemes are made up of variances of one specific hue.
TRUE
Review Questions
5. Secondary colors…A. hold “secondary” spots on the color wheel B. are created by mixing two primary colorsC. cannot be “made” by mixing other colorsD. form an analogous scheme on the color
wheel
“B” is correct!
Review Questions
6. Complementary colors
A. form a 90-degree angle on the color wheel
B. consist of a primary color and a neutral color
C. are “next door neighbors” on the color wheel
D. are 180-degrees apart on the color wheel
“D” is correct!
Review Questions
7. Tertiary colors are created by blending:
A. two primary colors
B. two secondary colors
C. a primary and a secondary color
D. a neutral color with a primary color
“C” is correct!
Review Questions
8. Colors that represent a 90-degree angle on the color wheel are ___ colors.
A. right-angleB. geometricC. analogousD. monochromatic
“C” is correct!
