Lesson 2: How Do I Study Art?: Making Art
ELEMENTS OF ART
Elements of art The formal or tangible aspects of art. Elements=“medium of language” of visual arts

VERTICAL LINE -C an project feelings of strength, possibilities (reaching for the sky) and height.

CURVED LINE - can convey sensuality, whimsy and comfort.
ZIGZAG LINE - are diagonal lines that are connected. They are employed to convey excitement, restlessness and/or anxiety.
DIAGONAL LINE - project energy, movement or lack of stability.

B. SHAPE Basic Kinds of Shape: 2. Biomorphic
B. SHAPE Basic Kinds of Shape: 3. Amorphous- l acking a definite shape ; formless ; of no recognizable character or type
C. FORM -Can refer to the quality or likeness of an entire mass Example: form of a woman
D. VALUE -lightness or darkness of a hue or color. Often represented in a tonal value scale , it has tow parts: the tints (lighter tones) and the shades (darker tones) -Tone- general term for a certain value
E. COLOR -also known as hue. Scientifically, it is the light that bounces off a surface. In art we use subtractive colors (colors that are from pigments). Additive colors refer to a property of light.
F. TEXTURE -can be used in paintings like impasto, stamping, and scratching in pottery, embossing when making prints, and many others.
G. LIGHT -Light creates an illusion that color, form and texture exist. Light can be implied, natural or artificial -The lighting of an artwork has a very strong effect on its overall impact Ex: Chiaroscuro (an example of strong and theatrical lighting)
H. SPACE - an area where other elements can interact. - 2 Types: Positive and Negative
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
CONTRAST Design principle which uses the element of value to create a depth and dimension. Light also plays an important role in creating good contrast HARMONY Elements are related to each other in terms of form, color, theme, etc. BALANCE (Symmetrical and Asymmetrical) Aesthetic quality of a work marked by a sensible balance between two areas: right and left; top and bottom
RHYTHM AND MOVEMENT Creating a sense of direction through repetition of elements. Movement direct the viewer’s eye toward something. UNITY AND VARIETY Elements should be seen as a whole in unity; variety still gives a sense of wholeness but the elements differ in some aspects and provide more interest to the work. EMPHASIS AND SUBORDINATION An area or a specific subject is given focus; hence other parts of the picture are subordinated
SCALE AND PROPORTION This can be either an appropriate use of scale and proportion or it can also be an effective way of changing the scale to achieve a certain visual goal. It also shows relationship between the object and space. DEPTH AND PERSPECTIVE Shows three-dimensionality of space through the use of perspective lines and vanishing points.
QUICK FACTS:
REPRESENTATIONAL ART It mimics what is real and can be seen The image is recognizable as interpreted by the artist
ABSTRACT ART Modified interpretation of something that exists, but it becomes hardly recognizable
NONREPRESENTATIONAL ART Purely concerned with forms, shapes, colors and the rest of the elements. It does not represent any subject matter outside of self.

2. ICONOGRAPHY focused on subject matter over form Guided by questions such as: “Who is the person the artist painted?” “What does it represent?” “Why did the artist choose this image and what for?”
3. CONTEXTUAL APPROACHES context becomes an important factor Approaches: Marxism, Orientation, Colonialism, Racial Iconography, Feminism and Gender School of thought and philosophical movements which place an artwork within a certain parameter.
4. BIOGRAPHY AND AUTOBIOGRAPHY focuses on life and context of the artist Assumes that the artist’s life, beliefs, choices and personalities are directly connected to the works that he/she creates
5. SEMIOTICS Originated from the Greek word “ Sema ” which means “sign” An art is assumed to be composed of a set of signs that may have significant cultural and contextual meanings beyond itself.
6. PSYCHOANALYSIS Concerned about the unconscious mind in relation to the artist, the viewer and the cultural context it is involved in
7. AESTHETICS AND PSYCHOANALYSIS Involves individual notion of what is considered acceptable, beautiful or attractive influenced by psychological factors. Connects psychology to one’s constructed philosophy of art
