ELEMENTS

1.​ Line - The path of a point moving through space.

2.​ Shape - Usually 2D objects that are flat, and limited to height
and width; organic = non-polygon, geometric = polygon

3.​ Color - used to create many effects by blending. Primary=


blue yellow red; secondary= green orange purple

4.​ Space - creates distance in a piece; The depiction of depth or


distance in an artwork. Depth and distance can be perceived
because of the size differences, the placement, and the value.

4.

5.​ Texture - The way an object looks, actually feels, or how it is


made to look like a textured surface. Implied Texture-
Created using other elements of art, such as shape, line, form,
and color. Real Texture- Things feel just as they appear.

6.​ Form - Always 3D; can be 3d or implied by illusion on flat


surface.

7.​ Value - The lightness or darkness of colors. Often described


in varying levels of contrast.
COLOR SCHEMES

●​ Complementary- The opposite hues on the color wheel.

●​ Analogous- Colors that are next to each other on the color


wheel.

●​ Triadic- 3 colors that are 3 apart on the color wheel; form an


equilateral triangle; create contrast.

●​ Monochromatic- “One color”; create a look similar to


analogous but with less contrast. (black and white)

●​ Achromatic- “Without color”; see monochromatic. (like black


and white, but with a color instead of black)

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

1.​ Emphasis - Area of an artwork that dominates attention,


created by contrasts in Color, Shape, Size, Size & Dominance,
Detail, Contrast, and Isolation

2.​ Repetition - repeating lines, shapes, colors, etc.

3.​ Balance - symmetrical or asymmetrical

4.​ Movement - an artist depicts movement using the elements of


art; Refers to the Visual flow of an artwork, the path a
viewer’s eye takes when observing an artwork. Lines, edges,
shapes, and colors are used to point the way through an
artwork.

5.​ Radial balance - symmetry in several directions

6.​ Proportion - size between different objects

7.​ Unity - everything falls together perfectly and is similar,


nothing useless.

8.​ Variety - not unity; different elements that contrast and differ

.7&8. -

9.​ Composition - Refers to the placement or arrangement of the


elements of art in a work of art. A formal analysis of a work
of art involves looking at the use of elements and principles of
art and how they work together to create meaning.
