1. FINE ARTS LESSON 2 ELEMENTS OF ART

2. Bell Ringer
Explain the difference between a de-emphasizing line and emphasizing line.
What emotions do Horizontal and Vertical lines evoke.

3. ELEMENTS OF ART
ELEMENTS OF ART- ARE THE BASIC COMPONEENTS OR BUILDING BLOCKS; COLOR, VALUE, LINE, TEXTURE, SHAPE, FORM AND SPACE
These elements are not the media the artist uses- but the visual vocabulary used by the artist.

4. Elements of Arts LINE Types of Lines
Line refers to it as a continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point
Can be 2 dimensional like those on a sheet of writing paper
3 dimensional like the branches of a tree
Emphasizing Line- Contour line is a line used to show the edges or contours of an object

5. TYPES OF LINES CONTOUR LINES
Marie Laurencin Women in the Hat
Emphasizing Line- Contour line is a line used to show the edges or contours of an object
Used to identify drawings and paintings
They separate the object from the background and from other objects in the same work
Look how the contour lines define each area of the painting.

6. TYPES OF LINES DE-EMPHASIZING LINE Line and Movement
ELIMINATING OR CONCEALING THE OUTLINE OF OBJECTS IN PICTURES (Painterly)
Art can suggest movement like horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or curved.
Certain emotions are associated with these movements
Vertical-suggests strength and stability
Horizontal suggests calmness
Diagonal suggests tension
Curved suggests flowing movement
An axis line is an imaginary line that is traced through an object or several objects in a picture
Monet was interested in recording the fleeting effect of light

7. Texture
Texture
Is the element of art that refers to the way things feel or look as if they might feel if touched.
Examples “smooth” of “rough” surface
There are many painting in which the surface is smooth to the touch but the sensation of different textures is suggested by the way the artist painted some areas – simulated texture

8. SHAPE AND FORM
Ex: a circular shape can be made to look 3 dimensional by gradually changing its value from light to dark
Way to create the illusion of space overlapping, shading, placement, size, value and focus, linear perspective
Shape refers to a two dimensional area clearly set off by one or more of the other visual elements, such as color, value, line, texture, and space- like a circle or square
A form is an object with three dimensions
When a artist paints an area of a picture with a particular color, a shape is created
An artist can also create shape by setting off an area that is texturally different from its surroundings

9. Form Mass Refers to the outside size and bulk of a form
Mass is described in solid geometry
Ex: pyramid, cylinder, cone, cube, sphere
Mass can also be described as irregular
Ex: Eggs, bottles, people
Volume refers to the space within a form
Volume is discussed when talking about interior space
Form, the volume or mass of objects, is the most important art element for sculptors

10. SPACE
Space is the distance or area between, around, above, below, or within things
Space can be 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional
3 dimensional space, or actual space, has height width and depth
Found in art forms such as sculpture, ceramics and architecture
Ex: The Cloud sculpture to the left allows you to move around freely in it{s} space to see the different positions and shapes in each different angle you move to
Artists use perspective to show depth or space in a painting.
If two objects overlap on a flat surface, one is clearly behind and the other is in front
A sense of depth is created
Aerial Perspective is used to show depth
Ex: Robert Scott Duncanson ”Loch Long”
* Linear perspective uses parrallel lines that run toward a invisible vanishing points
Jose de Creeft “The Cloud”

11. Linear and aerial perspective
Space – The cloud

12. Color Intensity is the brightness or saturation of a color
Hue is the name of the color
Ex: yellow is a hue
Value is the dark or light quality of a color
Pink is a light value of red
Primary hues are red, yellow and blue

13. Colors Continued……… Warm colors Cool Colors
Complementary Colors
Warm colors
Secondary colors
Cool Colors
Colors that are direct opposite of each other
EX: yellow and Purple
Are produced by mixing to primary colors
EX: red and yellow make orange
Are hues containing read and orange
Hues containing green and blue

15. Refers to the light or dark quality of a color or shape in a painting
Most important element in drawings, woodcuts, lithographs, and photographs
Gradual value changes can indicate concave or convex surfaces
Black is the darkest value
When a basic color is mixed with black the value is darkened
Painting that has mostly dark values are low keyed
White is the lightest value
When a basic color is mixed with white the value is lightened
Paintings that have mostly light values are high keyed
Value
Valuhe light or dark
