1. Tulsa Public Schools Art Assessment State Standard #1 Visual Fine Arts Elements

2. LineLine Henri Matisse Interior in Yellow and Blue

3. Line is the path of a moving point. A line may define the edge of a shape, repeated it can create texture or value. Here is a link to a video explaining line: https://youtu.be/BDePyEFT1gQ

4. Copy these lines. See what other kinds of lines you can create.

5. Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. Using a variety of lines create a self-portrait (a picture of yourself). It is good to begin with an oval outline and then add details. Here is a link if you want help: https://youtu.be/dbRMCgtcchw

6. Color Wassily Kandinsky Murnau Street with Women

7. ColorColor Color is dependent on light. Hue is the name of a color. Value is how light/dark a color is. Intensity is the amount of brightness produced by reflection to the eye. Here is a link to a video about color: https://youtu.be/wWW_UbrkBEw

8. Color Wheel Primary Colors Red, Yellow, Blue Secondary Colors Orange, Green, Purple Complimentary Colors are opposite each other on the color wheel (red and green for example).

9. Neutral Colors Black, white, gray and brown are neutral colors. Neutral Browns can be made by mixing complimentary colors together Pierre Renoir Head of a Dog

10. Color Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. Draw anything you like but color it to resemble a rainbow. The colors appear on a rainbow in a specific order: Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet

11. Shape Pablo Picasso The Three Musicians

12. SHAPE Shape is a two-dimensional area defined by an outline or a change in color. Here is a link to a video about shape: https://youtu.be/bJzGkZwkHt4

13. Shapes can be geometric and can be measured by height and width such as a square, circle, triangle or star. Shapes can also be free-form and natural objects such Such as a cloud, leaf, insect or a tree. SHAPE

14. Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. Try to draw this still life image by drawing only the basic shapes first. Afterwards you can add detail such as color and shadow.

15. Texture

16. Texture is the surface quality or the feel of an object. Here is a link to a video about texture: https://youtu.be/YoOb3JSDAUo

17. Texture Tactile texture is the way an object actually feels when you touch it. Implied Texture is how an artist shows how a real object would feel if you could touch it.

18. Texture Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. You can create a texture rubbing by placing a blank piece of paper over a rough surface (a brick, leaves, or floor tiles for example) and rubbing a crayon across it. See if you can capture that texture by drawing it.

19. Value M.C. Escher M.C. Escher you say?

20. Value Value is the degree of dark or light tones or colors. Value can be created by simple shading, hatch marks, or cross hatching. Here is a link to a video about value: https://youtu.be/AAwYHNo31ZQ

21. Value The lightness or darkness of a color. Tints and Shades Mix black with a color to make a shade. Mix white with a color to make a tint.

22. Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. Divide your paper into columns and create some of these value scales with pencil. Try to create your own set of values.

23. Form Form

24. Form Form is a three dimensional object with the qualities of height, width and depth. Here is a link to a video about form: https://youtu.be/9DIPs3T2dQk

25. Form Here are some examples of geometric forms.

26. Teachers here is an optional art activity:

28. Space Space is the area within, around, between, above or below objects and shapes. Artists create the feeling of space by making some objects seem closer to the view than others. Here is a link to a video about space: https://youtu.be/U11B_0FCn6o

29. Space Space or distance is created in visual art by using perspective or strategies such as placement of objects on the picture plane and overlapping shapes. Variations in size and value and using convergent lines also create space. Grant Wood Fall Plowing

30. Space In a work of art you can refer to both the positive space (the space an object occupies) or you can refer to the negative space (the space around an object). What do you see in these two pictures, just a vase, or do you see faces as well? It depends on if you are looking at the positive space or the negative space.

31. Space Teachers, here is an optional art assignment. Using this schematic as a reference, create a picture illustrating space. You will start making a large background first, followed by items such as trees or buildings in the middle ground and lastly layering items in the foreground such as people, pets, cars, etc.
