+ Elements of ART
+ LINE Art would be NOTHING without line! Line is a MOVING POINT Line Defines Shapes, objects and Form TYPES OF LINE Contour LINE Gesture LINE Many others curved, dotted, jagged.
+ Contour Line Contour means "outline", and shows exterior edges of objects clean, connected lines, no shading (an open "shell" of the subject). The line describes visible edges of an object. Pure Contour drawings can have strength, clarity and simplicity. Details like color, shadow and highlight are ignored Draw only clearly defined edges RESIST the temptation to color in shadows.
+ Gesture LINE Although a more relaxed line is used still pay attention to the direction of lines on the object. This type of line is more free and Expressive Quick line used to show motion or the quick form of a person or object.
+ Mini Sketch Assignment Try to make as many types of lines as you can. Repeat each type of line several times. Try all types of lines: wavy, curly, jagged, dashes, fat, thin, etc. Fill your page with as many lines as you can.
+ SHAPE Width+Height=SHAPE Shape is an area enclosed by line. It is 2 dimensional Can be geometric or organic
+ Geometric Shape Most are Angular except circles or ovals Most Geometric shapes are man made. Except Honeycomb
+ Organic Shape Natural look and a flowing and curving appearance. Leaves, plants animals.
+ Mini Sketch Assignment In your Element Book Draw an example of geometric and organic shape working together to create a composition!
+ TEXTURE is the actual surface feel of an area or the simulated appearance of roughness, smoothness or many others. There are 2 types of Texture Actual Implied
+ Actual Texture How something ACTUALLY FEELS! The real feel of an object!
+ Implied Texture The illusion that something has Texture! Implied Texture is created through value!
+ Mini Sketch Assignment In your Element Book, Draw an example of Implied Texture
+ Value (Lightness and darkness) Value is the lightness or darkness of a surface. It is often referred to when shading but value is also important in the study of color
+ GREY SCALE See how the value goes from black to white, or Dark Value to Light Value.
+ Mini Sketch Assignment In your Element Book Create a Value Scale.
+ COLOR Color is the most expressive of the elements and can also be very tricky to use properly,
+ Color Color is the most expressive element of art and is seen by the way light reflects off a surface. Primary-RED YELLOW BLUE. Secondary- Green, Purple, Orange Tertiary- Yellow Orange, Blue Green ect Complementary, Tone, Tint, Shade.
+ Mini Sketch Assignment Create A Small Color Wheel with primary and Secondary Colors.
+ Space : Space is the illusion of objects having depth on the 2-dimensional surface. Linear and Atmospheric perspective are used.
+ Linear and Atmospheric Perspective Atmospheric Perspective Or Atmospheric Perspective refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. Colors become less Saturated (TINTS) usually blue. Linear Perspective Straight lines are drawn to represent the horizon and visual rays, connecting the viewers eye to a point in the distance Horizon line Vanishing Point
+ Mini Sketch Assignment Draw an example of Linear Perspective in your Element Book
+ Form Forms are 3- Dimensional. They occupy space or give the illusion that they occupy the space. Height + width + depth = form Examples, Sphere, Cube Pyramid
+ Mini Sketch Assignment Draw an example of Form in your Element Book…. Cubes, Spheres ect.
+ A Mini Project Do you UNDERSTAND how the elements work TOGETHER? Create a collage using our- Scrap Magazines and one other medium to create a collage. { Make SURE magazines and Scrap’s are as clean or in better condition than when you found them!!!!} Use 5 of the 7 Elements in your Collage! { Element Books will can be a good way to check if your Collage really uses the Element} NAME, PER, DATE and Write the 5 elements you use and where they are found in your collage! Use a paper out of your Sketch book or come to ME for a paper. Use Rubber Cement to glue magazine pieces Any other medium can be used to enhance: Sharpie, Pastels, Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils { Try to make the 2 magazine and other medium work together.. BE CREATIVE!
+ COLLAGE??? col·lage (k-läzh, k-)n.1. a. An artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color. Assembling (putting parts together) to create a unified whole Drawing! Once finished you will be put into groups to discuss your collage each group will choose one collage to talk about in front of the class.
