The Elements of Art |
|
This year we will be expanding on what we learned last year with Mrs. Sheridan, beginning with a review of the Elements of Art, We will continue to use them in our projects this year. The Elements of Art Line - a continuous mark. Lines can be fat, thin, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved, straight, jagged, scallopped, dotted, and so on.... Color - what we see from reflected light. Color is hue, neutral, tint, or shade. Value - differences in color ranging from the lightest to the darkest. Shape/Form - Shape is two-dimensional. Form is three-dimensional. Both enclose space and can be geometric or organic. Texture - how things feel (actual) or look like they feel (visual). Texture is rough, smooth, bumpy, prickly, scratchy, etc. Space - the area between, around, above, below, or within. Space can be positive or negative. Space can organize parts of a composition be creating depth (overlapping, aerial perspective, linear perspective).
