The elements of art are a commonly used group of aspects of a work of art used in teaching and analysis, in combination with the principles of art.[1].work of artprinciples of art[1] Space Color Shape Texture Form Value/Tone Line THE ELEMENTS OF ART

Principles of Design The Principles are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural elements of design. Again, the way in which these principles are applied affects the expressive content, or the message of the work. The principles are: Balance Proportion Rhythm Emphasis Unity

Color (hue) is one of the elements of art. Artists use color in many different ways. The colors we see are light waves absorbed or reflected by everything around us. In nature, a rainbow is white light that is broken apart by the moisture in the air. People discovered that white light can be broken apart using tools like prisms or this spectroscope. The colors of the visible light spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. White light consists of all of the colors mixed together. The color of an object depends on how it absorbs and/or reflects light. If an object absorbs all of the light wavelengths, it will appear black. If it reflects all of them, it will appear white. If an object absorbs all wavelengths except red, for example, it will look red. Artists have invented many different media that imitate the colors of light. Painters, for example, use powdered pigments to reproduce the colors of the rainbow.pigments C O L O R HUE-Each individual color in the color wheel is a hue. Hue is the name of the color for instance red, green, navy blue, orange, purple, lavender, turquoise. Hue is absolutely any color in the rainbow that you choose to pick. Hue is simply the name of the color. When you opened that brand new box of 128 Crayola crayons and read the name on the wrapper of each new color, you were deciding what hue you wanted to use. It doesn't matter if it is red, maroon, a shade of red, or pink, each one of those names is a hue.

Color wheels show how visible colors are related. Primary, secondary, and intermediate colors are organized on a circular chart. Color wheels help artists remember how to mix and think about pigments.Primarysecondaryintermediatepigments Color wheels are based on color theory, which is based on the physics of light. There are two common types of color: additive color and subtractive color. The color wheel below is an example of subtractive color. Subtractive color refers to the mixing of colors of pigment, such as paint or the ink in your computer's printer. This type of color is what is used in the art and design world. When learning basic color theory, students typically use familiar colors like red, yellow, and blue.

The primary colors are red, blue and yellow. Primary colors cannot be made from other colors. Artists create secondary and intermediate colors by mixing primary pigments.secondaryintermediatepigments PRIMARY COLORS

SECONDARY COLORS The secondary colors are green, orange and violet (purple). A secondary color is made by mixing two primary colors. Each secondary color is made from the two primary colors on either side of it in the color wheel.primarycolor wheel

INTERMEDIATE COLORS/TERTIARY COLORS Intermediate colors, sometimes called tertiary colors, are made by mixing a secondary and a primary color together. Some examples of intermediate colors are yellow-green, blue- green, and blue-violet.secondaryprimary

ANAGOLOUS COLORS Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel. They are closely related because they have a color in common. For example, blue, blue- green, and green all contain blue. Red, orange, and yellow are analogous because red and yellow make orange. Analogous colors are next to each otherAnalogous colors are next to each other

COMPLEMENTARY COLORS Complementary colors are located directly across from each other on the color wheel. color wheel Complementary pairs contrast because they share no common colors. For example, red and green are complements, because green is made of blue and yellow.contrast Complementary colors can appear very exciting and seem to vibrate when placed side by side.

NEUTRAL COLORS Neutral colors or earth tones are not seen on most color wheels. Black, gray, whites are neutral. Browns, beiges and tans are sometimes neutral too. Neutral colors can be made by mixing:color wheels black and white complementary colors all three primaries together (plus some black or white)

COOL COLORS Cool colors are made mostly of green, blue and violet (purple). This family of colors is called cool because they remind you of cool things like a cool forest or a cold lake. This painting by Claude Monet uses cool colors to suggest a quiet pond. Cool colors can even make you feel cooler because they can slightly decrease your circulation and body temperature!

WARM COLORS Warm colors are made mostly of red, orange and yellow. This family of colors is called warm because they remind you of warm things like the sun or fire. Warm colors can even make you feel warmer because they can slightly increase your circulation and body temperature!

Shades are dark values of a color. One usually makes shades by mixing a color with different amounts of black.values SHADE

Tints are light values of a color. One usually makes tints by mixing a color with different amounts of white.values TINT

VALUE Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. You can get different values of a color by mixing its shades and tints.shadestints

MONOCHROMATIC COLOR Monochromatic colors are all the hues (tints and shades) of a single color. As a result, the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of color contrast.
