2. Created by Mia Arends1 COOKING UP SOME ART Elements of Design

3. Created by Mia Arends2 Artists, like cooks, need ingredients to make art. These ingredients are called the Elements of Design. They are: SPACE LINE FORM COLOR ``` SHAPE TEXTURE

4. Created by Mia Arends3 LINE is the path of a point moving through space. It has direction. Think of a knife cutting vegetables. Can you name the 5 kinds?

5. Created by Mia Arends4 LINE has 2 properties that compare to the ingredients that go into a recipe. Quality, or unique characteristics- each line, like each food, is unique Variation, the large/small, thick/thin and light/dark differences in similar items

6. Created by Mia Arends5 Starry Night, oil on canvas, Vincent Van Gogh 1889

7. Created by Mia Arends6 Identify and describe the lines in Van Gogh’s famous painting. Kinds/ directions of line: Qualities of line: Variations in lines: If this painting were a food, what would it be?

8. Created by Mia Arends7 SHAPEis the area made when a line closes on itself. (2-dimnsional) Shape is important in food, too. It helps us identify, and make decisions about, what we eat.

9. Created by Mia Arends8 is a 3-dimensional shape. Think of some volumes and forms food comes in. Name the forms of some common cooking pots and pans. Name the three dimensions.

10. Created by Mia Arends9 Both shapes and forms have two classes: Geometric Organic Precise, mathematicalNatural, irregular Categorize the following artworks:

11. Created by Mia Arends10 Texture is how things feel or look as if they would feel if touched. Think of it as the way food feels on your tongue. Real texture is what you can actually feel. Simulated or visual texture is a picture that reminds us of what something feels like.

12. Created by Mia Arends11 Textures on the computer… …are virtual…

13. Created by Mia Arends12 How many textures can you describe in these paintings by John Singer Sargent?

14. Created by Mia Arends13 comes from light and is an electromagnetic wave. We see only part of the spectrum which occurs naturally as a rainbow.

15. Created by Mia Arends14 Color affects us powerfully. Foods must be the color we expect… –W–W–W–What happens if they are not? What happens if we eat in the dark? –W–W–W–Would you trust your other senses? –W–W–W–What are they? Color describes moods and emotions. –N–N–N–Name a few for each color… We are affected by room colors, the colors of our clothes, lighting, etc.

16. Created by Mia Arends15 Attributes of color Hue is the pure color’s name. –Name some: (think rainbow) Intensity is a color’s brightness or dullness. Value is its lightness or darkness, made by adding white and/or black.

17. Created by Mia Arends16 Starry Night, oil on canvas, Vincent Van Gogh 1889 What is the mood of this painting? How do the colors help create the mood?

18. Created by Mia Arends17 Space is the distance or area around and within things. It is like the final form of the food being prepared. This painting by Wayne Thiebaud, Sugar Cones, is in 2-dimensional space. Name the dimensions. What space does an actual ice cream cone fill? Can you name the 3 rd dimension?

19. Created by Mia Arends18 Describe the space in this sculpture. What is the point of view of this photo? How do you think this would look from the side?

20. Created by Mia Arends19 How do artists create the illusion of space on a flat surface? Fill in the blank with Closer or Farther: Overlapping: What’s in front is _______. Relative size: What’s smaller is _________. Detail and focus: What’s clearest is _____. Placement in space: What’s at top is ______. Shading: What’s highlighted is _______. Perspective: We see things in the distance a certain way. Artists use measurements to recreate this, like taking a photo does.

21. Created by Mia Arends20 Overlapping Relative size Detail and focus Placement in space Shading Perspective Match the technique to the art.

22. Created by Mia Arends21 Overlapping Relative size Detail and focus Placement in space Shading Perspective Georges Seurat, The Bathing Place, 1884

23. Created by Mia Arends22 Just for fun- see how many errors in perspective you can find in Wm. Hogarth’s 1754 woodcut, Perspectival Absurdities.
