Meant for High School Education in the Visual Arts

1. Elements of Design A Brief Overview: Painting 101/ Ceramics 101 Mrs. Estrada-Bui Unit Topic: Fundamentals of Art Grade:9-12 Worksheets credited to youtube video in this lesson by Jasey Crowl.

2. Content Standards: Content Area (Visual Arts) Standards: 1.2 Enduring Understanding 1.VA:Cr1.2 Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work of art. 7.VA:Cr 1.2 Develop criteria to guide making a work of art or design to meet an identified goal. Presenting—Anchor Standard 5: Develop and Refine Artistic Techniques and Work for Presentation 1.VA:Pr5 Ask and answer questions such as where, when, why, and how artwork should be prepared for presentation or preservation. 2.VA:Pr5 Distinguish between different materials or artistic techniques for preparing artwork for presentation.

3. Lesson Objectives: Students will learn fundamental art terminology and demonstrate use of vocabulary in comprehension questions and discussion formats. Students will understand how terminology creates pertinent criteria for future critiques. Learn about how principles and elements of Art relate to the art formulation process, visual perception of art works on the observer, and artist respectively. Students will learn to differentiate between different artistic techniques in order to prepare for the artwork process.

4. Hook: Why learn Elements/Principles? Can you name a movie which uses bright colors to stylize their film? What kind of emotions, memories, or thoughts do these colors inspire? How can we relate that to creating art? What colors, values, line types, and textures would you include on your piece to convey sadness/ happiness? *Examples: Avatar, Wizard of Oz, Pleasant Ville, Sin City All art is created using these fundamental concepts such as COLOR. Your art will also utilize these basic concepts & ideas. The understanding of these ideas will assist you to better create your own artworks which convey the ideas you wish to make evident through your art. Your ideas will read for the audience better. Others will be able to give effective feedback about your art work, using the same vocabulary you use, which will help you understand how to improve your creations.

5. You Try It Questions: As we move through the presentation, you will be asked quesitons about the slides we have just seen. Raise your hand if you think you know the answer, then w rite down the correct answer on your work sheet .

6. This presentation will focus on Line, Color, &Value.

8. All Art Uses these 7 Elements Value Form Line/Shape Texture Color/Space

9. Examples of the 7 Elements Value Color Shape Form Line Space Texture

10. Line: What is line? How it is described. Definition: Line: a point set in motion 3 Parts to Form a line : Starting Point – no dimensions , a period. The Line – the most common design element , a point set in motion (including any variety of line) Contours—shapes bounded or bordered by line Defining Shape and Form Line may describe or add definition to create shape . Shape creates the notion of an objects shape,form. modeling.

11. Line Continued: Types of line Line Direction: Verticle: imply strength Horizontal: imply stability Diagonal: imply instability/movement Zigzag: implies instability

12. Line Continued Line Quality: Line quality - Any one of a number of characteristics of line determined by its weight, direction, uniformity or other features. Wavy: implies motion, instability, playfullness Contour: describes the outline of a form Irregular: dotted/dashed, varried thickness, implies instability Volume : Thick: associated with manufactured/fake (cartoon) Thin: associated with frailty, or movement

17. Color & Value 1. Color: an element created using the light-color spectrum. Three properties of color: hue ( color name) Value (shades/tint) color is effected/manipulated by value. Intensity (saturation/ brightness)

18. Color & Value Continued 2. Value : the use of light and dark , often to create a sense of depth or volume. Only by using the contrast of light and dark are we able to see anything. It creates differentiation between space and an object. Gray-scale – grays that contain no color, just black and white they are Achromatic . Tints- variations of color containing grays

19. You Try It: 1. What element of art does this Album cover show most? ( value or color) 2. What does this convey?

20. Color Schemes are based on three main types of color relationships: Primary Colors: a group of 3 colors from which all other colors can be obtained by mixing. (Red, yellow, and blue) Secondary Colors

21. Secondary Colors: a color resulting from the mixing of two primary colors.

22. Tertiary Colors: A tertiary color or intermediate color is a color made by mixing full saturation of one primary color with half saturation of another primary color. Basically: mix a primary with a secondary color.

23. The Color Wheel: Here we see the Full spectrum of colors (not tints) in the color wheel.

24. Color Theory Colors can be chosen and combined through out an art piece using various color themes to create the emotional or intellectual feel of the peice. * Cool colors: sad, calm * Warm colors: passionate, angry * Analogous: unifying, balance * Complimentary: symetry, balancing * Triadic: Exciting, Dynamic

25. Color Schemes: Monochromatic: comprised of tints, tones and shades of a single hue. Gray-Scale: Using only shades of white and black. Analogous : a group of 3 colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. (RED, RED-ORANGE, ORANGE) Complementary: made from 2 colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. (RED & GREEN, Purple and Yellow, Orange and Blue)

26. You Try It: What color scheme does this Album cover show?

27. Flat Values F l a t V a l u e s : colors that are highly saturated, with no tints or variation. Often seen in: Cartoons Advertisements/products Comic books Denotes stylization By P iet Mondrian
