2 The Elements of Art Mrs. Love

3 The Elements of Art There are 7 basic elements of art. These elements are the visual language of art.

4 7 ELEMENTS OF ART The basic art elements are what the artist uses to make a work of art. The 7 art elements are: Line Value Color Shape Form Texture Space

5 The first art element is Line. Lines can be straight or curved, wavy or jagged, parallel or perpendicular, solid or broken, etc. Lines can be made with a pencil, pen, or brush. A line is a mark with greater length than width. LINE

6 VALUE Value is the lightness or darkness of an object or color. There are gradations of light and dark. A grouping of these gradations on a 1-9 point scale plus black and white is called a Value Scale.

7 Using values of light, highlight, middle grey, and shades of black to shadow help make a circle look like a sphere. Value or shading makes 2 dimensional drawings appear like 3 dimensional forms.

8 There are 12 colors on the color wheel. Red, Yellow, and Blue are the primary colors. All colors can be mixed with these three colors plus black and white. That’s why they’re called primary. Orange, Green, and Violet are secondary colors. When you mix two primary colors together, you get these colors. Red + Yellow = Orange Yellow + Blue = Green Blue + Red = Violet COLOR

9 TERTIARY COLORS Yellow-orange, Red-orange, Yellow-green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, and Red-Violet are all tertiary colors & are made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color. Yellow + Orange = Yellow Orange Red + Orange = Red Orange Yellow + Green = Yellow Green Blue + Green = Blue Green Blue + Violet = Blue Violet Red + Violet = Red Violet

10 HUE, VALUE AND INTENSITY OF COLOR Color has 3 dimensions: HUE VALUE INTENSITY HUE is another name for

11 VALUE OF COLOR Adding BLACK to a color like Magenta (Red-violet) begins to darken the color and the result is called a SHADE of that color. Adding WHITE to a color lightens that color and the result is called a TINT of that color. VALUE is the lightness or darkness of a color.

12 INTENSITY OF COLOR INTENSITY is the brightness or dullness of a color. INTENSITY You can change the intensity of a color like GREEN by adding its complementary color, RED, to it or by adding NEUTRAL GRAY in varying amounts.

13 Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are called complementary colors. These colors are most intense when placed side by side. When they are mixed together in small amounts they dull each other down. The color becomes less intense. When they are mixed equally together, they make neutral gray. If Red, Yellow, and Blue are mixed together, they also make Neutral Gray. On this color wheel, you can see how colors loose their intensity as they move toward Neutral Gray in the center of the color wheel. Red + Green = Neutral Gray Yellow + Violet = Neutral Gray Blue + Orange = Neutral Gray COMPLEMENTARY COLORS

14 Color can be classified as warm or cool. Red, Orange, and Yellow are warm colors. Green, Blue, and Violet are cool colors. Warm colors advance, and Cool colors recede. A color scheme may be warm or cool. Different shades and tints of the same color, such as Red-orange, are called a Monochromatic color scheme. Complementary and Split complementary schemes involve colors opposite and those 2 colors adjacent to opposite on the color wheel. Analogous color schemes involve 3-5 colors next to each other on the wheel. For example, Red, Red-orange, Orange, Yellow- orange, and Yellow are analogous colors. A Triadic color scheme is made up of 3 colors equidistant on the color wheel such as Red, Yellow, & Blue. COLOR SCHEMES

15 Shape is an element of art that is an enclosed line. Shapes have height and width and are flat or two dimensional. SHAPE There are organic shapes such as those that look like an amoeba or cell. There are naturalistic shapes like leaves

16 SHAPE There are also geometric shapes CIRCLESQUARERECTANGLE TRIANGLE The four basic geometric shapes are:

17 FORM Form is a 3 dimensional shape that has height, width, AND depth. There are four basic forms: sphere, cone, cylinder, and cube. Forms can be geometric like a cube or naturalistic such as a tree. Sculptors, and ceramic and other 3 dimensional artists work exclusively with the art element of Form.

18 TEXTURE Texture relates to the surface of an art object or a painting and how that surface feels. Textures can be actual or real and made by Nature. Textures can also be implied or simulated and made by an artist with pencil, pen & ink, brushes & paint, etc. A surface can be rough, smooth, gritty, sharp, prickly, etc. Two-dimensional artists usually simulate surfaces in their drawings and paintings. Three-dimensional artists such as sculptors and ceramic artists use actual textured surfaces on their artworks.

19 SPACE Space is an element of art that refers to the distance or area between, around, above, below, or within shapes or objects. The actual object in a work of art is called the positive space, and the background is called the negative space. In the optical illusion on the left, is the background the white or black space? Space can also be shallow as in modern art with shapes or objects appearing very flat and close to the surface. Space can also be deep as shown in these two works of art on the right using linear perspective and made during the Renaissance.

23 The first art element is Line. Lines can be straight or curved, wavy or jagged, parallel or perpendicular, solid or broken, etc. Lines can be made with a pencil, pen, or brush. A line is a mark with greater length than width. What kinds of lines can YOU draw? LINE Return to Question

24 NEXT Yeah! You did it! Please continue.

25 SECOND QUESTION This art element describes how a surface feels. It can be rough or smooth. It can be actual or simulated to look real. VALUEFORMTEXTURE

26 REVIEW Sorry, please review and try again!

27 TEXTURE Texture relates to the surface of an art object or a painting and how that surface feels. Textures can be actual or real and made by Nature. Textures can also be implied or simulated and made by an artist with pencil, pen & ink, brushes & paint, etc. A surface can be rough, smooth, gritty, sharp, prickly, etc. Two-dimensional artists usually simulate surfaces in their drawings and paintings. Three-dimensional artists such as sculptors and ceramic artists use actual textured surfaces on their artworks. Return to Question
