Abstract Art: A simplification. This is not a real face. Jackson Pollock’s work on the right is an abstraction of time. The way he moves his arm in space with the paint, show his arm’s passage through time.

5. 7 Elements of Design

6. Line = a continuous mark, made on a surface, by a moving point.
Straight line =

7. Types of Line!
Vertical Line =

8. Types of Line!
Horizontal Line =

9. Types of Line!
Diagonal line =

10. Types of Line!
Zig-zag line =

11. Types of Lines!
Wavy line =

12. Types of Line!
Thick and thin lines =

13. Types of Line!
Curving lines =

14. Types of Line!
Outlines =

15. Types of Line! Parallel Lines

16. Types of Line! Perpendicular Lines

17. Converging Lines create 1 point perspective.

18. Intersecting Lines

19. Contour Line = the lines that cut across the figure to define form.
Contour lines are not outlines, they are the lines INSIDE the sketch.

20. Contour Drawings = drawings with heavy emphasis on interior, contour lines to create form.
Remember, contour line helps define
Form, or make it appear
three-dimensional.

21. More contour drawings.

22. Gesture drawings = QUICK sketches to catch movement of a figure.

23. Types of Line
Broken Line

24. Shading = creates the illusion of depth and weight.
Value Scale

25. Types of Shape!
Organic, or “free form”, shapes are usually found in nature.

26. Types of Shape!
Geometric Shapes =

27. Shapes have 2 DIMENSIONS. Length and Width = 2D

28. Positive and Negative Shapes
The positive shapes are the cats. The negative shapes are the background.

29. Types of Form!

30. Forms have 3 dimensions. Length, width, and height = 3D

31. Primary Colors = Red, Yellow, and Blue
Primary Colors = Red, Yellow, and Blue. These are the hues from which all colors are made.

32. Secondary Colors = Violet, Orange, and Green
Secondary Colors = Violet, Orange, and Green. When you mix primaries together, you create secondary colors.

33. Primary and Secondary Colors

34. Primary and Secondary Color Wheel

35. Warm Colors Cool Colors

36. Analogous Colors = harmonious = colors next to one another on the color wheel.

37. Warm color painting

38. Cool color painting

39. This is a VALUE SCALE. IT HAS A RANGE OF TONE FROM LIGHT TO DARK
This is a VALUE SCALE. IT HAS A RANGE OF TONE FROM LIGHT TO DARK. Tints = a color + white. Shades = a color + black.
Red + more and more and more white!
Red + more and more and more black!

40. Neutral Colors = created by mixing Complementary Pairs
When colors opposite one another on the color
wheel, complementaries, are mixed they create
neutral colors!

41. Neutral Colors = created by mixing complementary pairs.

42. Monochromatic Colors = 1 color to which white or black is added to create tones and differing values.

43. Intermediate colors are created when a primary is mixed with a secondary color.
P = Primary Colors
S = Secondary Colors
T = Tertiary, or “Intermediate”, Colors

44. Value = the range of tone from light to dark.

45. Texture = the way an object or surface feels when touched.
“Real” texture is the way something feels when you touch it. “Implied” texture is when a flat surface, like a picture, is drawn to appear to have texture.
Real Fluffy Texture Implied Fluffy Texture

46. “Implied” texture can also be called “visual” texture.

47. Texture Rough Smooth

48. Space = the area an object occupies in a work of art.
In this picture, the white airplane is the “positive” space, and the black color surrounding it is the “negative” space.

49. Positive and Negative Space
In this picture, the black tree and ground is the “positive” space, and the white color surrounding it is the “negative” space.

50. In a 2 dimensional picture plane, there is a foreground and background.
In this picture, the baby is in the foreground, in front, and the trees are in the background, behind the baby.

51. Foreground and Background
In this picture, the horse is in the foreground, and the landscape is in the background.

52. Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background

53. Foreground, Middle Ground, and Background
Cat 3 is in the background.
Cat 2 is in the middle ground.
Cat 1 is in the foreground. 3 2 1

54. Horizon Line = where the water meets the sky.

55. Overlapping objects creates the illusion of space
Overlapping objects creates the illusion of space. = It makes the picture look “real.”
See how the 3 little pyramids in front overlap
the other pyramids? They are in the foreground.
The medium –size pyramid that is behind the 3 little ones
is in the middle ground.
And the tallest pyramid, with the medium –size pyramid
behind it, is in the background.

56. Perspective = technique for showing volume and spatial relationships on a flat surface. In other words, drawing things the right size so that it looks “real.”
One-Point Perspective

57. One-Point Perspective
The “vanishing point” is here and here.

58. Balance = placement of objects in a picture or sculpture so they appear equal on both sides.

59. Symmetrical Balance vs. Asymmetrical Balance

60. Symmetrical Balance vs. Asymmetrical Balance

61. Symmetry = equal on both sides.

62. Symmetry

63. Contrast can be created many ways in art!
Size differences

64. Contrast in art

65. Contrast in art

66. Composition = the way elements and principles of design are used as tools in an artwork.

67. Portrait = a drawing, painting, or sculpture of someone.
Sketch in pencil Painting Sculpture in clay.

68. Landscape = a drawing, painting, or relief sculpture of land and sky.
Landscape in pencil.

69. Landscape Painting

70. Landscape Relief = It’s like a sculpture, but flatter.

71. Seascape = a picture of sea and land.

72. Weavings are usually made from yarn.

73. Weavings can be made from paper.

74. Printmaking
Linoleum Carving
Monoprint = 1 print

75. Sculpture can be created by additive or subtractive technique.
Sand sculptures are created by adding more
And more sand to them!
So they are an example of additive sculpture
Technique.

76. Subtractive sculptures are created by taking away material through chiseling, cutting, or shaving.

77. Additive sculpture in clay is created by scoring and slipping.
First you score the piece to be joined with many slash marks Then you add mushy slip as glue.

78. Mobile = a sculpture that is suspended from wire or string.

79. Pinch Pot = created by hand-forming a ball of clay by pinching.

80. Coil Pot = created by rolling out long clay strips, coiling them on top of one another, and welding.

81. Slab Pot = created by rolling out clay, cutting out square or rectangular slabs, and then welding them together.

82. Completed Slab Pots

83. Pattern = repeated shapes, forms, or designs.

84. Pattern is created through repetition.

85. Rhythm = the smooth path the viewer’s eyes follow when examining an artwork.

86. Movement = suggestion of motion in art.

87. Emphasis = dominance of a specific element of design in art
Here, emphasis is on the power
of line.

88. Can you see how texture creates unity in Van Gogh’s Starry Night?

89. Here, emphasis is on the figure (form)of the woman in the field in an isolated landscape.

90. Unity = is achieved when all elements contribute to the whole and achieve harmony in the work.
Swirling lines, thick textural surface
and a cool palette unify the piece
In mystery.

91. The elongated, broad shape of the dresses, and linked arms unify women of different cultures.

92. Congratulations!
You’ve reached the end of this review!!! Can you guess which element of design is shown here?

93. Thank you for studying!
And good luck!!! Sincerely, Ms. Partos
