1. STANDARD 4: The Elements of Art
The basic components or tools of visual communication. What we use to “make” art.

2. What are the Elements of Art?
Line
Shape
Form
Value
Texture
Space
Color

3. Standard 4 The Elements of Art
Standard 4.1: I can define, recognize and use LINES.
Standard 4.2: I can define, recognize and use SHAPES.
Standard 4.3: I can define, recognize and use FORMS.

4. Standard 4 The Elements of Art
Standard 4.4: I can define, recognize and use VALUE.
Standard 4.5: I can define, recognize and use TEXTURE.
Standard 4.6: I can define, recognize and use SPACE.
Standard 4.7: I can define, recognize and use COLOR.

5. Standard 4.1 Line
Element of Art which refers to the mark(s) made on a surface by a moving point.

6. Line…
There are three basics “types” of LINE.
1: Straight Line: A line running directly between two points with no curves or turns.

7. Line…
2: Curved or Curvy: A line that changes direction gradually.

8. Line…
3: Zig-Zag: A line that makes sudden or sharp changes in direction.

9. Line…
In addition to the three basic types of line, we can also categorize lines by what direction they are running…
Horizontal
Vertical
Diagonal

10. Line…
There is one last category called IMPLIED LINES. This is because these lines are made up of smaller line segments that our brain interprets as one long line.
………………………………………………………………………………
Dotted/ Dashed

11. There are also different properties or characteristics of line…
Length
Width
And these characteristics are RELATIVE.

12. 2 basic types Organic Geometric Standard 4.2 Shape
Element of Art that refers to an enclosed area of two-dimensional space defined by its external edge. Has HEIGHT and WIDTH
2 basic types
Organic
Geometric

13. Geometric Shapes:
Mechanical. Have a mathematical basis for their configuration. Follow an ordered set of rules.
square
rectangle
pentagon
circle
triangle

14. Shapes that occur in nature. Free form.
Organic
Shapes that occur in nature. Free form.

15. Organic Shapes…

16. Standard 4.3 FORM Depth Width
The Element of Art that refers to the three dimensional quality of art.
Has Height Width
and Depth
Encloses Volume
Depth
Height
Width

17. Just like shape, there are two types of form…
Geometric- Forms that are mechanical, mathematical
Organic- Forms that occur in nature; Free forms,

18. What forms correspond with these shapes?
What is the 3-dimensional form of the:
CIRCLE
SQUARE
TRIANGLE
If I lay my hand flat on a piece of paper and draw around it, I have created a shape. What is that shapes corresponding form?

19. The Thinker
Rodin

23. Creating the illusion of form when we are working on a flat surface.
Implied Form
Creating the illusion of form when we are working on a flat surface.

24. Implied Form

25. Implied Form

26. Implied Form
What is one of the primary methods we use to create the illusion of form?

27. Standard 4.4 VALUE
Element of Art that refers to the degree and qualities of lightness or darkness

28. Circular Chimney Barnbaum

29. Pepper #30 Weston

30. Monolith: The Face of Half Dome Ansel Adams 1927

31. Value…
Each color has a corresponding value…

32. Value…

33. TEXTURE
Standard 4.5
The Element of Art that refers to the perceived surface quality or “feel” of an object. Its ROUGHNESS, SMOOTHNESS, SOFTNESS, etc.

34. Actual Texture
The actual physical texture of a surface. What it would feel like when you touch it.

35. Actual Texture

36. Actual Texture

37. Implied or Visual Texture
How a surface looks like it feels. What you think a surface would feel like if you could touch it.
The Conversion of Saint Paul
Caravaggio, 1601, Oil on Canvas

38. Space Standard 4.6
Refers to the area around, between, above, below or within objects or forms in a piece of artwork.
2 types
Positive and Negative

39. The primary images, objects or forms in a piece of artwork.
Positive Space
The primary images, objects or forms in a piece of artwork.

40. Negative Space
The areas around 2-D or 3-D shapes or forms which defines those objects. The background.

41. Size: The smaller an object is, the farther away it appears.
There are seven methods artist use to create the illusion of SPACE (Depth)
Size: The smaller an object is, the farther away it appears.
Position: The higher on the picture plane an object is the farther away it appears.

46. OVERLAP
An object in front of another object in your picture plane will appear closer to the viewer.

49. Color
Objects that are farther away will appear lighter, duller and have less contrast.
Bright colors can only be seen on near objects.
Warm colors can only be seen on close objects.

50. Detail Objects that are closer will have more details.
Details fade the farther away from the viewer an object is.

51. We call this AERIAL or ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE

52. AERIAL or ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE
The tendency for objects that are farther away to appear lighter, duller and have less contrast and detail.

55. Linear Perspective…
The sixth method artists use to create the illusion of space is Linear Perspective.
We will be concerned with two types…
One Point Perspective and
Two Point Perspective.
