Elements of Art:
the basic visual symbols an
artist uses to create works
of art.
They are:
line, color, value, shape,
form, space, texture

Line:
The path of a dot through
space.
horizontal-

side to side-

peace, rest

vertical-

up and down-

strength, permanance

zigzag-

diagonals joined in opposite directions-

action, nervous excitement

diagonal-

straight lines that slant-

-movement

curved-

change direction little by little-

graceful movement
Color:
what the eye sees when
light is reflected off of an
object.
The three properties of
color are:
hue, value, and intensity

Hue: a color’s name.


Primary hues (colors): pure colors; colors used to mix
all other colors.

Secondary hues: the mixture of two primary colors.


Intermediate colors: the mixture of a primary color
with a secondary color.

Complementary colors: opposites on the color wheel

complementary
Analogous colors: side by side on the color wheel and
have a color in common.

Analogous
Monochromatic colors: tints and shades of a single
hue.

Warm colors: colors that remind you of heat (reds,


yellows, oranges)

Cool colors: colors that remind you of cold (blues,


violets, greens)

Value: lightness or
darkness of a hue.
Intensity: brightness or
dullness of a hue.

Shape:
an area clearly set off by one or more of the other six
visual elements of art.

Geometric shape: precise, mathematical, appear to be


made with a tool.

Organic shape: not regular or even, often found in


nature.

Form:
an object with three dimensions.

Geometric form: precise, mathematical, appear to be


made with a tool.
Organic form: not regular or even, often found in
nature.

Space:
the distance or area above, below, between, around,
and within things.

The six techniques artists use to create the illusion of


deep space in 2-dimensional art are:
Linear perspective: the lines of roads, buildings, and similar objects are slanted
towards each other; this makes them appear to come together in the distance.

Overlapping: nearer objects partly cover, or overlap, those that are farther away.

Size: closer objects are larger than those meant to appear in the distance.

Placement: nearer objects are palced lower in the picture than those meant to
appear in the distance.

Intensity and value: objects that are meant to appear in the distance are lower in
intensity and lighter in value than closer objects.

Detail: more detail is added to objects that are meant to appear closer, less to
those farther away.
Texture:
how things feel or look as though they might feel when
touched.

Tactile texture: texture you can actually feel.

Visual texture: texture you can see but not feel.
