Lesson 2

Learning Outcomes

1. describe the elements of visual art


2. discuss the requirements to
analyze a visual art
Elements of the Visual Art
Lines
Shapes and Forms
Texture
Color
Space and Movement
Lines
Line is used to lead the viewer’s eyes
throughout the artwork
The use of line evokes expressive feelings and
ideas.
Five basic kinds of
lines: Vertical
Horizontal
Diagonal
Curved
Zigzag
Vertical lines move up and down. They express stability
and show dignity, poise, stiffness, formality and
upward mobility.
Horizontal lines are parallel to the horizon. They
express feelings of rest, peace, quiet and stability,
permanence or solidarity. They make you feel
relaxed and calm.
Diagonal lines slant, as if they are
either rising or falling.
Curved lines slowly change direction and
form wiggly curves, spirals or circles.
Zigzag lines combine diagonal lines that
form angles and suddenly change
directions.
Variations of line appearance:

Length – Lines can either be long or


short.
Width – Lines can be thick or thin.
Variations of line appearance

Texture – Lines can be rough or smooth.


Direction – Lines can move in any direction
Degree of Curve – Lines can curve
gradually or not at all, form spirals or
circles.
Shapes and Forms
Shape is a two-dimensional area that shows
the form of an object and how it is laid out in
space.
Dimension refers to the
amount of shape an
object takes up in one
direction. A shape may be
geometric or free-form.

Geometric
Shapes

Geometric shapes are kind of


shapes that can be studied
mathematically because they
possess sides and angles

Free-form
shapes
Free-form shapes are those that
are not studied mathematically.
They have outlines that are
unpredictably curved or angular
or are a combination of
different lines and forms.
Texture
Texture refers to how
things feel when touched.
Texture

Stone
Water Metal
Tactile texture is experienced
when you touch something
to feel its texture.
Visual texture is felt when
you look at a photograph or
an image that has texture,
and it reminds you how those
objects actually feel.
Roughness or smoothness of a
visual texture is determined by
the light or dark values it has.
Smooth surface

reflects light evenly


Rough texture
a result of surface that reflects light unevenly
Color
Color is an element of art
that results from the light
waves reflected from objects
to your eyes

Red
Orange
Yellow
Cool
colors
Blue
Green
Violet
Warm colors seem to moving
close to the viewer
while
cool colors have a receding effect
Three properties of color that
make up the colors we see

hue
value
intensity
Hue is the name of a specific
color in the color spectrum or
the bands of color that are
present in a color wheel.
Color Wheel
Primary
hues: red
yellow
blue
Secondary
hues: made by
mixing two primary
hues
Secondary Colors
red + yellow =
orange red + blue =
violet blue + yellow =
green
Intermediate Colors
primary +
secondary =
intermediate
red + orange = red-orange
yellow + green =
yellow-green blue + violet
=blue violet
Yellow is the lightest hue
because it reflects the
most light.
Violet is the darkest hue
because it reflects the
least light.
Black, white and gray are
neutral colors.
The colors of all the light
create white.
Value is indicated through
the lightness or darkness of a
color. The amount of light a
color reflects determines its
value.
Color Values
Tint is a light value of a
hue Shade is the dark
value
Chiarascuro is the
arrangement of the light and
dark shadow
Chiaroscuro
Intensity is the
brightness or dullness of
a hue. High-intensity
color is a pure or bright
hue.
Dull- intensity color is a
dark or dull hue.
Color intensity
High intensity color
Dull-intensity color
Color schemes:
•monochromati
c •analogous
•complementary
•split-complemen
t
Monochromatic
color scheme uses
only one hue
monochromatic colors
Analogous colors are
found side by side within
the color wheel
Analogous color
Red is beside orange.
•Close in the color
wheel, •Different but
related
Complementary colors
Are colors opposite each
Other Ex. red - green
Split complement is the
combination of one hue
and the hues on each
side of its complement
Space and Movement
Space refers to both outer
and inner space, the
emptiness and area
between, around,
above, below or within
objects
Are the empty spaces between the shapes or
forms

Positive space is the


area occupied by shapes
or forms
Movement is shown
through the direction of
line or arrangement of
color within the artistic
frame
Movement
