Color
|
MOST COMPLEX
Is an element of art with three properties1) Hue, the name of the color, e.g. red, yellow, etc. 2) Intensity or the purity and strength of the color such as bright ness or dullness. And 3) value, or the lightness or darkness of the color. |
|
Value
|
next complex
describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Value is needed to express Volume. |
|
line
|
most fundamental
xis an element of art which refers to the continuos mark made on some surface by a moving point. It may be two dimensional, like a pencil mark on a paper or it may be three dimensional(wire) or implied( the edge of a shape or form) often it is a outline,contour or silhouette. |
|
space
|
refers to the distance or area between, around, above or within things. It can be a description for both 2 and 3 dimensional portrayals.
|
|
shape
|
is an enclosed space defined by other elements of art. shapes may take on the appearance of two-d or three- objects.
|
|
texture
|
refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object, such as roughness, smoothness, or softness. Actual texture can be felt while simulated textures are implied by the way the artist renders areas of the picture
|
|
mass
|
mass occupies a three-dimensional volume
|
|
form
|
is an element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume. Cubes ,spheres,and cylinders are examples of various forms.
|
|
movement
|
adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane.
|
|
time
|
time
|
|
Unity
|
is seen in a painting or drawing when all the parts equal a whole. Your work should not appear disjointed or confusing.
|
|
Variety
|
refers to the differences in the work, You can achieve variety by using difference shapes, textures, colors and values in your work.
|
|
Balance
|
is a sense of stability in the body of work. Balance can be created by repeating same shapes and by creating a feeling of equal weight.
|
|
Rhythm
|
is a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and colors. Alternating lights and darks also give a sense of rhythm.
|
|
Pattern
|
a repetitive motif or design.
|
|
Emphasis/focal point
|
in a composition refers to developing points of interest to pull the viewer's eye to important parts of the body of the work.
|
|
subordination
|
Making an element appear to hold a secondary or lesser importance within a design or work of art.
|
|
Harmony
|
is achieved in a body of work by using similar elements throughout the work, harmony gives an uncomplicated look to your work.
|
|
proportion
|
or scale refers to the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work. Proportions gives a sense of size seen as a relationship of objects. such as smallness or largeness.
|
|
repetition
|
recurring shapes, lines, colors, and values that create rhythmic linkage.
|
|
Composition
|
The plan, placement or arrangement of the elements of art in a work. It is often useful to discuss these in reference to the principles of design, as well as to the relative weight of hte composition's part
|
|
Elements of Art
|
the elements of art are among the literal qualities found in any artwork. They are the basic components used by the artist when producing works of art
color, space, line, shape, texture, value, volume, mass, form, movement, time |
|
Principles of Design
|
Certain qualities inherent in the choice and arrangement of elements of art in the production of a work of art. Artists "design" their works to varying degrees by controlling and ordering the elements of art. Considering the principles is especially useful in analyzaing ways in which a work is pleasing in formal ways How any work exhibits applications of these principles can further or modify other characterstics of a work as well.
Some principles overlap or oppose others, and some are viewed as more important, more ideal, more relevant or irrelevant (or even undesirable) than others. So it is understandable that various ahtoirit'es lists |
|
Drawing
|
the depiction of shapes and forms on a surface chiefly by means of lines. Color and shading may be included. A major fine art technique in itself, drawing is the basis of all pictorial representation, and an early step in most art activities.
|
|
The initial sketch/gesture drawing
|
a quick drawing that loosely captures the appearance or action of a place or situation. Sketches are often done in preparation for largere, more detailed works of art. Emotional
|
|
Structural analysis drawing
|
There is a clarification of spatial depth, dimension, proportions, shape relationships, and structure, etc. through SIGHT MEASURING and the use of diagrammatic line and structural line. ANALYTICAL AND LOGICAL
|
|
Value drawing
|
Form, volume, and surface can be developed and through value, and with drawings where values represent ligt, the value contrasts can denote the forms, the spaces surrouding them, and the shadows they cast. These contrasts conform to six discernible division.s

|
metal point
|
descendant of the stylus of classical times and ancestor of the modern pencil, a small, sharpened metal rod used for drawing precise compositions on paper or parchment. The metal could be lead, silver, copper, or gold, but silverpoint was the most common choice because it is the most suited to permanent drawing, its stroke adhering unerasably. The silverpoint was of great value in producing the hard, clearly defined line required, for instance, by miniaturists; modelling, emphases, and light phenomena, however, had to be rendered either by means of repetitions, dense hatching, or blanks or else supplemented by other mediums.

|
Perspective linear perspective
|
the technique artists use to project an illusion of the three dimensional world onto a two dimensional surface. Perspective helps to create a sense of depth - of receding space. Fundamental techniques use to achieve perspective are: controlling variation between sizes of depicted subjects, overlapping some of them, and placing those that are on teh depicted ground as lower when nearer and higher when deeper. In addition, there are several types of perspective including
