line
|
A path traced by a moving point. The simplest element that can be complicated. Are symbols of sounds.
|
|
shape
|
A two-dimensional form. It occupies an area with identifiable boundaries. Boundaries may be created by a line
|
|
mass
|
A three-dimensional form that occupies a volume of space.
|
|
space
|
Occupied by mass.
|
|
light
|
Vital for our lives. Tells us when to wake up. Sets a certain mood. Light is worshiped. Adds feeling to the art.
|
|
value
|
How much of a element receives light.
|
|
color
|
A function of light. Affects moods
|
|
texture
|
Is literally tactile, a quality we could experience through touch.
|
|
time
|
is a cycle that has 5 eras. We can see it through light in movement.
|
|
movement
|
can be seen through lines. kinetic and implied.
|
|
visual elements
|
shapes, light, value, texture, color, lines, space, mass
|
|
actual line
|
A line that really exists. It starts and ends.
|
|
implied line
|
Made by patterns of actual line. Made from different shapes and different colors.
|
|
outline/contour line
|
Defines a two dimensional shape/ the lines we draw to record the boundaries. Make a shape of what the artist is drawing (actual line)/ functions of the line; defines shape against another shpae
|
|
shading
|
dfl
|
|
hatching
|
parallel lines that go on forever and never touch. Darker values are achieved through additional sets of parallel lines
|
|
cross hatching
|
hatched lines crossed
|
|
modeling
|
create a form or portray optically convincing masses
|
|
shape
|
the area inside thats being limited by a line that can be implied or actual. 2 dimensional.
|
|
geometric shape
|
actual shape that has angles
|
|
organic shape
|
human body, no angles, curved lines, has movement
|
|
figure
|
the positive, main picture
|
|
ground
|
the negative; background
|
|
figure ground relationship
|
in two dimensional images, the relationship between a shape we perceive as dominant (the figure) and the background shape we perceive it against (the ground)
|
|
figure ground reversal
|
dslkfalf
|
|
closed form
|
compact; you don't see anything through it; self disdained (stays wherever you put it)
|
|
open form
|
can see though it; not compact
|
|
light
|
vital for our lives; adds feeling to art
|
|
hue
|
means color
|
|
chiaroscuro
|
mixing dark and light values to create a look of 3 dimensionality
|
|
saturation/ intensity
|
sdlkj
|
|
primary colors
|
red, blue, yellow. They only exist and cant be created
|
|
secondary colors
|
green, orange, violet. They are created by mixing primary colors
|
|
warm/cool colors
|
yellow, red, orange/ blue, green, violet
|
|
complementary colors
|
red/green; yellow/violet; blue/orange
|
|
monochromatic
|
one color
|
|
afterimage
|
brain gets tired of looking at the same image for so long so they become complementary
|
|
actual texture
|
the real texture qualiy of the object
|
|
impasto
|
a form of giving texture to a two dimensional form
|
|
visual texture
|
what it seems to look like
|
|
picture plane
|
sdlfkj
|
|
overlapping
|
create illusion of depth
|
|
vertical placement
|
sdldjf
|
|
diminishing size
|
artist makes background objects smaller to make things more realistic
|
|
linear perspective
|
parallel lines that appear to converge as they recede from the viewer finally meeting at a vanishing point o nthe horizon
|
|
vanishing point
|
in linear perspective the point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to converge
|
|
atmospheric perspective
|
distant objects appear less distinct, paler, and bluer than nearby objects
|
|
actual motion
|
real movement; the action of movement
|
|
kinetic art
