The Seven Elements of Art
Ms. Hanson/ART 1
Definition of The Elements of Art
• The elements of art are a commonly used group of aspects of a work of art used in teaching and analysis, in combination with the principles of art.
LINE
• Line is an element of art which refers to the continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point.
• It may be two dimensional, like a pencil mark on a paper or it may be three dimensional wire) or implied( the edge of a shape or form) often it is a outline, contour or silhouette.
Pencil drawing Wire sculpture
TRAIN YOUR BRAIN: COMPARE AND CONTRAST a line drawing and a wire sculpture.
Different Types of Lines
Contour Line Drawing
Contour drawing shows the outline of the subject, and not the volume or mass of an object
SHAPE & FORM
Shapes have two dimensions—height and width—and are usually defined by lines.
Forms exist in three dimensions, with height, width, and depth.
COLOR
• Light reflected off objects. • Color has three main characteristics: hue
(red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is).
• Colors can be described as warm (red, yellow) or cool (blue, gray), depending on which end of the color spectrum they fall.
SPACE• Real space is three-dimensional. Space in a
work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions.
• The feeling of space in a drawing or painting is always an illusion.
SPACE• The area around the primary objects in a
work of art is known as negative space, while the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space.
• *TRAIN YOUR BRAIN…• In this picture which is the
positive space and which is the negative space?
TEXTURE• The surface quality of an object that we
sense through touch. • All objects have a physical texture. Artists
can also convey texture visually in two dimensions.
VALUE
• value means light and dark• value is often described visually by a scale
with varying shades of gray arranged between black and white.
• Colors also have value too.
VALUE
• TRAIN YOUR BRAIN…Since colors have values too, what would a light value of red be called?What would a dark value
Of blue be called?
