- five elements of art
- line, shape, form, space, color, texture
- sensory properties
- the elements of art
- line
- most basic of art elements
- implied lines
- not solid, consists of a series of interrupted dots that the eye connects
- horizontal lines
- create a stable and static feeling
- vertical lines
- cause the eye to move upward, feeling of spiritual awe
- curved/jagged lines
- sense of activity
- shape
- defines the 2D area of an object
- form
- defines 3D area of an object
- cube
- form
- circle
- shape
- freeform/organic
- forms taht are irregular
- geometric
- forms/shapes that are mathematically defined, sense of order and stability
- space
- element related to the organization of objects and areas around them
- positive space
- space the actual artwork objects occupy
- negative space
- empty area the artwork objects; aka ground
- high relief
- projecting boldly from surface
- bas (low) relief
- projecting only slightly from the surface to which the sculpture is attached
- contours
- the visible borders
- aerial perspective
- atmospheric perspective; a technique that takes into account the ways that fog, somke and airborne particles change the appearance of things
- linear perspective
- mathematical techniques developed during the Renaissance that can be used to create the illusion of space; visual phenomenom, as lines recede to distance, appear to converge and vanish
- hue
- name of a color
- primary colors
- red, blue, yellow
- color wheel
- organization of these hues into a visual scheme; developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 17th century
- value
- describes the lighhtneses or darkeness of a color
- neutrals
- black and white
- tint
- adding white to a color
- shade
- adding black to a color
- intensity
- brightness or purity of a color; primary colors most intense
- complementary
- hues that are opposite form each other on the color wheel; intense, vibrant contrast of color
- monochromatic
- use only one color
- Analogous
- use hues next to eachother on the color wheel; harmonious feeling
- triadic
- 3 primary, 3 secondary, or 3 tertiary colors
- warm colors
- red, orange, yellow; advancing effect
- cool colors
- green, blue, violet; create receding effect
- local color
- the "true" color of an object as seen in normal daylight
- optical color
- refers to the effect that special lighting has on the color
- arbitrary color
- colors chosen for emotional or aesthetic impact
- texture
- refers to how things feel or how we think they would feel if touched
- visual textrue
- illusion of a textrued surface, used in 2D art
- tactile
- tangible
- principles of composition
- rhythm, movement, pattern, balance, contrast, emphasis, variety, proportion, unity; aka formal properties
- rhythm
- principle associated with movement or pattern
- alternating rhythm
- 2+ motifs are used alternately
- motif
- single element of a pattern
- balance
- refers to the distibution of visual weight in a work of art
- symmetrical balance
- achieved when element of the composition are repeated exactly on both sides of the central axis
- approximate symmetry
- shapes or objects are slightly varied on either side of the central axis
- asymmetrical balance
- visual balance achieved through the organization of unlike objects; more complex compositional task
- focal point
- element that contrasts with the rest of the composition
- proportion
- concerned with the ize relationships among the parts of a composition, based upon our human scale
- scale
- refes to the dimensional relation of the parts of a work to the work in its entirety; also the overall size tf the artwork
