

Balls,

Slide6

Spa

ce



The

area

between

and

The

spa

u

r



Light

reflected

off

of

objects



Colo

u

r

has

three

main

chara

cteristics:



Hue: the name of the colo

u

r

,

such

as

red,

green, blue,

etc.



Value:

how

light

or

dark

it is

Intensity: how bright

or dull it is

Slide8

Colo

u

r

Cont.

White

is

pure

light;

black

is

the

absence

of

light.

Primary

colo

u

rs

are

the

only true

colours (red, blue, and yellow)Secondary colours are two primary colours mixed together (green, orange, violet)

Slide9

Colo

Cont.

Intermediate

colo

u

rs

(tertiary):

made

by

mixing

a

prim

ary

and

secondary

colo

u

r

together (yellow green, blue green, and blue violet).

Slide10

Cont.

Complementary

colo

u

rs

:

loc

ated

dire

ctly

a

cross

from

e

ch

other

on

the color wheel. Complementary

pairs

contrast

bec

ause

they

share

no

common

colors



Red

and

green

are

complements, because green is made

of blue and

yellow When complementary colours are mixed together, they neutralize each

other to make

brown.

c

an

be

seen

and

felt



Textures

c

an

be rough or smooth, soft or hard



Textures

do

not

always

feel

the

way they

look;



A

drawing

of

a

porcupine may look prickly, but

if you touch

the drawing, the paper is still smooth.

Slide14

Principles

of

Design

The

prin

ciples

of

design

describ

e

the

ways

that

artists use

the

elements

of

art

in a

work

of

Slide15

Balance



Distribution

of

the

visu

al

weight

of

objects,

colo

u

rs

,

texture,

and

spa

ce.



Symmetrical

balance

(formal):

the elements used on one sid

e

of the

design

are

similar

to

those

on

the

other

side



Asymmetrical

balance

(informal): the sid es are different

but still

look balanced. Radial balance: the elements are arranged around a central point and may be

similar.



Part

of

the

design

that

c

atches

the

viewer’s

attention



Usually

the

artist

will

make

one

area stand out by contrasting it with other

areas.



The

area

could be

different

in

size,

color,

texture,

shape,

etc.

Slide18

Movement



The

path

the

viewer’s

eye

takes

through

the

work

of

art,

often

to

foc

al

areas



Such

movement

c

an be directed along

lines,

edges,

shape,

and

color

Slide19

The

repeating

of

an

object

or

all

over

the

work

of



Works

with

pattern

to

make

the

work

of

art

seem

a

ctive



The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of

art

Slide21

Proportion



The

feeling of

unity

created

when

all

parts

(sizes,

amounts,

or

number)

relate

well

with

ea

ch

other



Size

of

objects in relation to other objects

Slide22



When

one

or

more

elements

of

design

are

used

repeatedly

to

create

a

feeling of

organize

d

movement

 To keep rhythm exciting and a

ctive,

variety

is

essential

Slide23



The

feeling of

harmony

between

all

parts

of

the

work

of

art,

which

creates

a

sense

of

completeness Relationship of objects to one

and

to

the

design
