Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines
can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

I chose this piece because of the lines showed by the tikis. |

I chose this photograph because of the distinct lines made by the railing, side and the floor. |
Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric
shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect. Organic
shapes are associated with things from the natural world

I chose this painting because of all the same shapes of soup cans. |
i like this picture because all of the shapes and colors that it has
Color is the light reflected off an object and you see it as a color.
Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not.
White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of
reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
|
I chose this because it uses similar colors throughout |
|
I chose this because the colors gradually change as the distance increases. |
Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.
|
I chose this because it shows the value going from dark to light. |
|
I chose this because of the subtle slow differences in value |
Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
|
I chose this because it is easy to see width, length, and height of the bar. |
|
This I chose to show width, length, and height of the cube. |
Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
|
I chose this to show texture of the cave |
|
This shows the texture of rock face very well. |
Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece.
|
This shows space between each of the three major parts of the picture |
|
This shows space between the ice cream |
Balance is the comfortable or pleasing
arrangement of things in art. There are three different types of
balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.
|
This shows asymmetrical balance, and symmetrical balance vertically. |
|
This shows symmetrical balance, horizontally and vertically. |
Contrast is created by using elements that
conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using
complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast
creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas.
|
This contrasts a bright sunset to a darkened cityscape |
|
This contrasts the light colored water to dark colored rocks |
Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork
gives it importance. An artist may stress some elements of the design
over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or
center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.
|
This emphasizes the blue sky in the picture. |
|
This emphasizes the flowers in his hands, because its colored. |
Movement in an artwork means the artist is
taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges,
shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area. Movement is a
visual flow through the composition.
|
This shows the movement of the wave |
|
This shows water movement |
Patterns are made in art when the same
shapes or elements are repeated again and again. Pattern uses the
elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of
paintings or sculptures.
|
There are patterns on the people |
|
The wall is a pattern |
Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines,
and forms. Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs
regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem
to be like the beat of music.
|
The elephants lining the picture show rhythm |
|
The rays of light show rhythm on the bottom |
Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony. Unity brings together a composition with similar units.
|
Unity happens in this picture because it is all less bright colors and there isn't drastic changes |
|
This picture has unity because it has the yellow signs all the way across the screen. |
