26 TEXTURE Surface quality, either tactile or visual. Texture can be real or implied by different uses of media. It is the degree of roughness or smoothness in objects.

27 Creates a Sensory Experience

33 SHAPE A 2-dimensional line with no form or thickness. Shapes are flat and can be grouped into two categories, geometric and organic.

34 Creates Form

35

36 Creates a Story

37 FORM A 3-dimensional object having volume and thickness. It is the illusion of a 3-D effect that can be implied with the use of light and shading techniques.  Form can be viewed from many angles.

38 Creates Depth

39 Creates Realism

41 What does form accomplish here?

42 Allows for the visual effect of Form.
VALUE Sometimes combined with color, value describes the lightness (tint) or darkness (shade) of a color. Allows for the visual effect of Form.

60 Principles Laws of Design

61 EMPHASIS Emphasis (also called focal point) is where the focus is concentrated through design principles or meaning. It makes an element or object in a work stand out. To use emphasis in an artwork is to attract the viewer's eyes to a place of special importance in an artwork.

62

63 Richard Doyle – “The Fairy Queen Takes an Airy Drive” 1870
What is emphasized here and how?

64 John William Waterhouse – “Boreas” 1902
What is emphasized here and how?

65 BALANCE Balance is arranging elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than any other part. Two different kinds of balance are symmetrical and asymmetrical. Symmetrical (or formal) balance is when both sides of an artwork, if split down the middle, appear to be the same.

66 Andrew Wyeth – “Christina’s World”
Asymmetrical (or informal) balance is when both sides of an artwork, if split down the middle, appear to be the same. Andrew Wyeth – “Christina’s World” 1948

67 Gustav Klimt – “The Tree of Life”
1909

68 Hokusai – “Great Wave off Kanagawa”
1832

69 UNITY HARMONY The quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the elements and principles of art. How is unity created here?

70 Paul Ranson - “Apple Tree with Red Fruit”
How is unity created here? Paul Ranson - “Apple Tree with Red Fruit” 1902

71 Salvador Dali – “Galatea of Spheres”
How is unity created here? Salvador Dali – “Galatea of Spheres” 1952

72 VARIETY CONTRAST The quality or state of having different forms or types. The differences which give a design visual and conceptual interest: notably use of contrast, emphasis, difference in size and color.

73 Salvador Dali – “Landscape with Butterflies”
How is contrast created here? Salvador Dali – “Landscape with Butterflies” 1958

74 Vincent van Gogh – “Café Terrace at Night”
How is contrast created here? Vincent van Gogh – “Café Terrace at Night” 1888

75 MOVEMENT Action, or alternatively, the path the viewer's eye follows throughout an artwork.

76 Vincent van Gogh – “Mulberry Tree”
1889

77 Joseph Mallord William Turner – “Snow Storm”
What does movement add to this artwork? Joseph Mallord William Turner – “Snow Storm” 1812

78 PATTERNRHYTHM Pattern and rhythm is showing consistency with colors or lines. It is indicating movement by the repetition of elements. Rhythm can make an artwork seem active.

79 Patrick Raymond – “Rhythm 2”

80 Oliver Ray – “The Dancers”
What element creates movement here? Oliver Ray – “The Dancers”

81 Purpose of Elements and Principles of Art
When designing an artwork, whether it is a painting, a piece of music, a stage set, or a dance, the Elements and Principles of Design must be used to achieve certain effects.

82 ● Influence the direction of the viewer's gaze
LINE ● Create shape, form, movement, or texture ● Influence the direction of the viewer's gaze

83 Horizontal lines - gives the impression of calm, tranquility, and space.
Vertical lines - impression of height, and grandeur. Tightly angled convergent lines - dynamic, lively, and active effect to the image.

84 Curved lines - create a sense of flow within - more aesthetically pleasing -associated with soft things. Straight lines - dynamic

85 Colour

86

87 Colours Determine Setting
Write down the following colours and fill out what setting they could infer if used in a set Red: __________________ Blue: _________________ Yellow: ________________ Purple: ________________ Orange: _________________ Black: __________________ Green: __________________

88 Colour Creates Emotion
Write down the following colours and fill out what emotion you believe could correspond to it: Red: __________________ Blue: _________________ Yellow: ________________ Purple: ________________ Orange: _________________ Black: __________________ Green: __________________

89 Colours Create Focus Warm colours POP Cool colours regress
Highly saturated colours POP “Watered Down” colours regress

90 Colours Create Contrast

91 Colors opposite each other on the colour wheel create maximum contrast.
Write a list of colours which would add contrast to each other

92 Colours Create Unity Using colours next to each other on the colour wheel create unity in an image

93 Create a list of colours on the colour wheel that are next to each other and would create unity
