1. Design and Layout (part one)
Elements of Art – Space, Perspective and Texture
(Drawing Concepts)
Multimedia - Photoshop

2. The Elements Of Art
You see countless ways artists combine and organize these elements so their ideas and feelings can be communicated and understood by viewers.

3. The Elements Of Art
To fully understand a painting, a sculpture, or a building, you need to understand a visual vocabulary and recognize how it is used to produce successful works of art, or in our case, designs.

4. Elements of Art Vocabulary Line Shape / Form Value Space / Perspective
Texture
Color

5. When looking at works of art…..
The Elements Of Art
There are a variety of elements which work together to help the artist express an idea or feeling. The question is, do you see them?
When looking at works of art…..

6. you see different characteristics of LINE,
Corey Barksdale
African-American Artist
Painting of Southern Musicians

7. Concept Review Line The most basic element of art.
Describes a shape or outline.
Tells the eye where to look.
Group related objects and divide unrelated objects
Characteristics of a Line
Width – thick, thin, tapered
Length – long, short, continuous, broken
Direction – horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curvilinear, perpendicular, parallel and zigzag
Texture – jagged, graceful

8. you see SHAPE, Frida Kahlo Mexican Artist
Self Portrait with Hummingbird

9. Concept Review Shape All Shapes use Line.
An enclosed space with defined boundaries.
Shape implies two-dimensions: length and width
Categories of Shape
Geometric Shapes – Man made
Organic Shapes – those that occur in nature

10. FORM,
Salvador Dali
Spanish Artist
Persistence of Memory, 1931

11. Concept Review Form All forms first begin with Shape.
Form has depth, length, and width and is perceived as three-dimensional.
The illusion of a 3 dimensional form on a flat surface.

12. and VALUE.
Qi Baish
Chinese Artist

13. Concept Review Value The relative lightness or darkness of color
Contrast

14. Space

15. Space Related to Shape and Form
Shape and Form define objects within Space.
Shape and Form cannot exist without Space.

16. Space Space is the three-dimensionality of a sculpture.
A three-dimensional object will have height, width, and depth

17. Space / Perspective
Space - The perceived distance between, around, above, below, or within shapes and forms in a composition
Perspective – The representation of a volume of space or a 3-dimensional object on a flat surface

18. Categories of Space Positive Space “Occupied” areas
Primary subject matter of a piece of art

19. Categories of Space Negative Space
“Unoccupied” areas around subject matter

20. Example: Space
Discuss how Space is used in this image.

21. Texture

22. Texture Texture is the surface quality of an object. Implied vs. Real
A rock may be rough and jagged. 
A piece of silk may be soft and smooth.
Your desk may feel hard and smooth. 
Texture also refers to the way a picture is made to look rough or smooth.
Implied vs. Real

23. Texture
Texture
tactile appearance

24. Texture

25. Example: Texture
Discuss how Texture is used in this image.

26. Concept Review Space / Perspective Texture
Space - The perceived distance between, around, above, below, or within shapes and forms in a composition
Perspective – The representation of a volume of space or a 3-dimensional object on a flat surface
Texture
How an image appears to feel if touched

27. MODELING PS Setting Up The Workspace
Open Photoshop CS6
Create a New Document
File > New
Name: Space, Perspective and Texture
Preset: Web
Click OK
If you cannot see the rulers, from the Menu bar, select View > Rulers
Verify that your rulers are set to inches
Edit > Preferences > Units and Rulers
Rulers > Inches
Type > Points

28. MODELING PS Setting Up The Workspace
Create a New Layer named “Quadrants”
Layer > New > Layer
Name: Quadrants
Verify the Quadrants layer is highlighted in the Layers panel

29. MODELING Draw a Line in Photoshop CS6
Select the Line tool from the Toolbox
The Line tool is hidden beneath the Shape tool
icon.
Position the cursor approximately halfway across the top of the Photoshop document
about 5 1/2 inches
Holding the Shift key down, draw a Line dividing the document in half.
Holding the Shift key draws a straight line.

30. MODELING PS Setting Up The Workspace
Create a New Layer named “Space & Perspective”
Layer > New > Layer
Name: Space & Perspective
Verify the Space & Perspective layer is highlighted in the Layers panel

31. DEMONSTATING Space and Perspective
On the left side of the Workspace, draw a design using the art elements of Space and Perspective.
Use height, width and depth to create a visual perception of distance.
Remember to create a New Layer for each object.

32. DEMONSTATING Space and Perspective
Use your knowledge of Form to create a 3D image by adding depth to your artwork
Add as many layers, shapes and forms as you like
Save your work
Name: Space, Perspective and Texture.

33. MODELING PS Setting Up The Workspace
Create a New Layer named “Texture”
Layer > New > Layer
Name: Texture
Verify the Texture layer is highlighted in the Layers panel

34. MODELING Creating Texture in Photoshop CS6
On the right side of the Workspace, draw a design of your choosing
Select Filter > Filter Gallery from the Menu bar
Rasterize the shape
Open the Texture folder
Select a texture for your image and adjust the settings as you like
Click OK when done

35. Assignment PS Space, Perspective and Texture
Save your design as Space, Perspective and Texture
I will grade onscreen.
Practice explaining your artwork
Be prepared to stand and explain to the class how your artwork demonstrates Space, Perspective and Texture.
