The document discusses the elements and principles of art. The seven elements of art are line, shape, form, value, space, color, and texture. The seven principles of art are pattern, rhythm, balance, emphasis/contrast, movement, unity/harmony, and variety. The elements are the basic tools used to create art, while the principles are the ways elements are arranged to produce certain effects.

SHAPE • Two-dimensional, flat or limited to height and width • Can be: geometric, irregular, circle, square, rectangle, diamond, oval, etc. ELEMENTS OF ART: 3. FORM • Three-dimensional, includes height, width and depth • Can have a free flowing form ELEMENTS OF ART: 4. VALUE • Darkness or lightness of tones or colors • Lightest value: White Darkest Value: Black • Halfway: Middle gray • Tint: adding white to make something lighter • Shade: adding black to make something darker • Hue: true color ELEMENTS OF ART: 5. SPACE • Emptiness or area around or within the objects • Positive space: part of the art work that takes up space • Negative space: area around the object ELEMENTS OF ART: 6. COLOR • Reflected or absorbed light • Three properties: 1. Hue- true color 2. Value- hue’s lightness or darkness 3. Intensity- quality of brightness and purity ELEMENTS OF ART: 7. TEXTURE • How something feels or looks as if they might feel if touched • Two kinds: 1. Real- how something feels 2. Implied- artificial texture PHIL ARTS: Principles of Arts PRINCIPLES OF ART: 1. PATTERN • Repeated combination of elements without variation • Recurring and regular arrangement PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM • Continuance, flow or movement achieved through repetition • Three types 1. Regular- intervals are similar in size and length PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM • Continuance, flow or movement achieved through repetition • Three types 1. Regular- intervals are similar in size and length 2. Flowing- intervals are organic PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM • Continuance, flow or movement achieved through repetition • Three types 1. Regular- intervals are similar in size and length 2. Flowing- intervals are organic 3. Progressive- intervals are repeated with more variation PRINCIPLES OF ART: 2. RHYTHM PRINCIPLES OF ART: 3. BALANCE • Equality in various visual elements of art • Major types: 1. Symmetrical- identical balance PRINCIPLES OF ART: 3. BALANCE PRINCIPLES OF ART: 3. BALANCE • Equality in various visual elements of art • Major types: 1. Symmetrical- identical balance 2. Asymmetrical- not identical but placed in positions to create “felt” balance PRINCIPLES OF ART: 3. BALANCE PRINCIPLES OF ART: 4. EMPHASIS/CONTRAST
• Giving more importance to the other elements of
an art PRINCIPLES OF ART: 5. MOVEMENT • Action or path that the eyes follow PRINCIPLES OF ART: 6. UNITY/HARMONY
• Creates a sense of wholeness
• Combining similar elements together PRINCIPLES OF ART: 7. VARIETY • Diversity needed to create visual interest
