  1. The Elements and Principles of Art

  2. The Elements of Art- components that make up an artwork. They are...... • Line • Shape • Form • Value • Texture • Color • Space

  3. Linecan be considered in two ways. The linear marks made with a variety of mediums or the edge created when two shapes meet. Elizabeth Catleet, Sharecropper. 1970 Gerorges Braque, Violin and Candlestick, Paris, 1910

  4. Shape-A shape is a self contained two-dimensional area that is defined. Shapes are either geometric or organic. A positive shape in a painting automatically creates a negative shape. Henri Matisse, L’escargot,1953

  5. Joan Miro, Harlequin’s Carnival, 1925

  6. Form- Objects having three dimensions. Forms are either geometric or organic. David Smith, Cubi IX, 1964 Georgia O'Keefe, Jack-in-the –pulpit No. 5

  7. Value- the darkness and lightness of a color. Rembrandt, The Night Watch, 1642

  8. Man Ray, Tears

  9. Texture-how things feel or look as if they might feel if they were touched. Texture is perceived by touch and sight. Georges Seurat, A Sunday in la Grande Jatte, 1884

  10. Jean Arp

  11. Color- Derived from reflected light Henri Matisse, The Joy of Life

  12. Marques Vickers

  13. Space-The emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects. Positive space is the object and negative space is around the object Keith Haring

  14. The Principles of Art-How artists organize the elements of art. • Balance • Variety • Rhythm • Emphasis • Unity • Proportion

  15. Balance-equalizing visual forces, or elements, in a work of art. If a work has visual balance, the viewer feels that the elements have been arranged in a satisfying way. • Symmetrical (formal balance)- to halves of a balanced composition are identical, mirror images of each other. • Asymmetrical (informal balance)- unlike objects have equal visual weight or eye attraction. • Radial Balance-Type of balance which forces or elements of design come out (radiate) from a central point.

  16. Symmetrical Balance Egyptian Antique Diego Rivera, Flower Day, 1925

  17. Asymmetrical Balance Frida Kahlo, Frida and Diego Rivera, 1931 Bernini, David, 1623

  18. Radial Balance MC Escher

  19. Variety-a principle of art that is concerned with contrast or difference. Edward Weston, Pepper no. 30, 1930 Robert Rauschenberg, Trophy II, 1960

  20. Frank Stella

  21. Rhythm-indicates movement by the repetition of elements. Visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces. • There are five types of rhythm: random, regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive. Flowing-created by repeating wavy lines. Regular- identical motifs & equal space

  22. Progressive-a change in the motif each time the motif is repeated.

  23. Alternating-changing spaces or position of the motif Random- same motif but in no apparent order

  24. Emphasis-principle of design that makes one part of a work dominant over the other parts. The element that is noticed first is called the dominant the elements notices later are called subordinate. Roy Lichtenstein

  25. Seymour Lipton

  26. Unity-The quality of wholeness or oneness that achieved through the effective use of the elements and principles of art. Unity is created by simplicity, repetition, proximity, and continuation. Degas

  27. Louise Nevelson, Sky Cathedral, 1958

  28. Proportion-Principle of art concerned with size relationships of one part to another. Albrecht Durer, Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, 1519

  29. Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Spoonbridge and Cherry, 1985-88
