9. ELEMENTS OF ARTCOLOR • COMPLIMENTARY COLORS • Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel • When placed together, these colors have a lot of energy • When mixed together these colors dull each other and make a brownish color. • Orange/blue • Green/red • Yellow/purple • Etc. http://www.illustratedinteriors.com/design.html

10. ELEMENTS OF ARTCOLOR • WARM COLORS • These colors usually “pop” out at you • Give a feeling of warmth, sunshine, etc. • Red • Yellow • Orange • Colors in between the three above http://keep3.sjfc.edu/students/emk5649/e-port/vpa/color.htm

14. Elements of ArtVALUE • Value • The lightness or darkness of a color • Work with high value contrast makes them easier to see. • How three dimensional shapes are made on two dimensional works

15. Elements of ArtINTENSITY • The purity of a hue • The brightness or dullness of a color • Adding the complimentary color will dull a hue • Ex. • Add orange to dull blue • Add green to dull red

16. ELEMENTS OF ARTLINE • Line – the path of a moving point • Physical Properties of Line: • Direction • vertical / horizontal/ diagonal • Type • Curved/straight • Thick/thin • IMPLIED • Function • Outline • Expressive • Calligraphy • Sketching

17. ELEMENTS OF ARTLINE • Emotional Qualities of Line: • Vertical = formal, balanced • Horizontal = calm (like the horizon) • Spiral = suggests infinity • Curved = graceful • Angular or zigzag = energy, excitement • Diagonal = tension, movement, action • Parallel = speed

18. EXAMPLES OF QUALITY AND DIRECTION OF LINE

19. ELEMENTS OF ARTSHAPE • SHAPE- an area clearly set off by one or more of the other elements of art. • Shapes are two dimensions • Length • Width • All shapes belong to two groups: • Geometric • Square, circle, triangle, rectangle and oval • Organic-freeform • Clouds, pebbles, etc.

20. Elements of ArtFORM • FORM- an object with three dimensions. • Forms have three dimensions • Length • Width • Depth • Forms are found in • Sculpture • architecture

21. Elements of ArtSPACE • SPACE- distance between, around, above, below and within things. • POSITIVE SPACE • The forms or shapes • NEGATIVE SPACE • The empty space around, between, etc the shapes/forms

22. Elements of ArtSPACE • SPACE is also the illusion of depth known as PERSPECTIVE. • Perspective space is divided into three parts • FOREGROUND • The front of the picture • BACKGROUND • The “setting” of the picture • MIDDLE GROUND • Space between the foreground and the background

23. Elements of ArtSPACE • One point perspective • Parallel lines come together at a single vanishing point • Two point perspective • Two sets of parallel lines come together at separate vanishing points

24. ELEMENTS OF ARTTEXTURE • TEXTURE • The look and /or feel of a surface • PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS • ACTUAL TEXTURE • Using materials to create real texture • a collage, etc • IMPLIED TEXTURE • Using materials to look three-dimensional but really flat to the touch • INVENTED TEXTURE • Apply materials to give an impression of real texture • Van Gogh, sawdust, etc

25. ELEMENTS OF ARTTEXTURE • REASONS FOR USING TEXTURE • Relief or emphasis is offered • Value is changed • Variety will enliven the composition • Texture is different from pattern in that it is not always repeated, but patterns create texture • Example is the background of this slide

26. ELEMENTS OF ARTTEXTURE • LOOK AT THE PATTERN THAT CREATES A TEXTURE ON THE SLIDE

27. ELEMENTS OF ARTTEXTURE • LOOK AT THE PATTERN THAT CREATES A TEXTURE ON THE SLIDE
