Element of Texture
Draw 4 examples of Implied texture in the boxes provided.
Stippling
Hatching
Cross Hatching
Your choice
Day 9
The way something appears to feel.
Implied Texture

31. Element of Space The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks.
Around, above, inside, outside, positive or negative.
The feeling of space in a drawing or painting is always an illusion.
Artists combine the use of light and dark value with other techniques.
Linear perspective, and atmospheric perspective create the illusion of space.
Day 9
Linear perspective
“Snow in New York”

32. The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks
Element of Space
Draw a mini picture in the 1st box provided. Label the positive space and the negative space.
Draw a mini picture in the 2nd box provided showing how things get smaller and lighter as they travel further into the background.
Day 10
The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks
Space

33. In 2D and 3D artworks it is the quality of the shape.
Element of Form
In 2D and 3D artworks it is the quality of the shape.
Form describes volume and mass, or the three-dimensional aspects of objects that take up space.
Forms can be realistic, abstract, geometric, organic etc…
Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. It can be illustrated or constructed.
Day 10

34. Element of Form
Draw a plain circle in the 1st box provided. This circle does not show form
Re-Draw the sphere you see below in the 2nd box provided. This sphere shows form.

38. Balance
An appearance of evenness in an artwork. There are two kinds: Symmetry & Asymmetry

39. An appearance of evenness in an artwork.
Principle of Balance
An appearance of evenness in an artwork.
This is an example of symmetrical balance in which the design is the same on both sides of the center axis.
This is an example of asymmetrical balance because the object is not the same on both sides.

40. Vertical symmetry

41. Horizontal symmetry

42. Radial symmetry

43. Asymmetrical

44. Principle of Balance
Using shapes only, in the first box Draw 1 example of Vertical Symmetry.
Using shapes only, in the second box Draw 1 example of Horizontal Symmetry.

Using shapes only, in the fourth box Draw 1 example of Asymmetry.

45. A large difference between elements.
Contrast
A large difference between elements.
Green and Red, dark and light, large and small, thin and thick, bright and dull.
Contrast refers to differences in values, colors textures, shapes and other elements.

Emphasis is when an artist draws attention to one or more areas of an artwork.
Areas of dominance or interest become a focus. Contrast is a very effective way to create emphasis.

Movement
The path the viewer’s eye is directed to take by the artist’s choice of elements such as line.

51. Principle of Variety
Variety is a combination of small differences or changes that create interest in an artwork.
Variety can create Rhythm & Pattern by repeating similar or identical elements like: colors shapes, lines, values, forms, spaces, and textures.
Left off here in Studio Art on Thursday.

52. Principle of Variety Variety
Draw an example of: Variety in shape in the 1st box.
