Here is where your presentation begins ARTS AND ITS VISUAL ELEMENTS
What Is It In order to understand how to describe a painting or a sculpture, it is important to comprehend first the visual elements of art. These visual elements of art are line. color, shape, space, value, texture, time and motion . ARTS AND ITS VISUAL ELEMENTS
This refers to a prolongation of a point or a mark on a surface. Solid lines can be used in order to define form while broken lines are typically used to suggest hidden forms Line
Shape and Mass This element refers to all area with boundaries identified or drawing lines. A shape may be natural or living forms called an organic shape and can be irregular or rounded It may also be measured forms called geometric shape. In contrast to shape which is two-dimensional mass refers to solid portions of a three-dimensional object.
Color This refers to visual perception that allows a person to differentiate objects due to the way various wavelengths of light are reflected Color is a very important element because it can communicate information and emotion to the viewer. These are the three properties of color
COLOR Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in the color wheel Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color. A light color or tint is the result of adding white to a true le a dark color of shade results from adding black to a hue Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of color. It is also referred to as purity of the color A bright color can be produced by adding more pigment to the same hue, while a dull color can be produced by adding gray or the color's complement to the pigment The color wheel is an arrangement of primary secondary and tertiary colors, it important tool to identify which colors can work well if used in a certain artwork which is the color schemes or color relationships. These are some of the color schemes
- involves using the same hue but with different gradients of value. - entails the use of three or four adjacent colors in the color wheel. Color Schemes Monochromatic Analogous
- involves the use of a color and its complement-meaning the color located opposite of the first color - a close relative to the complementary color scheme. But instead of using the color's complement, this scheme uses the two colors adjacent to the complement Color Schemes Complementary Split-complementary
- uses three colors that are of equal distance with each other -also known as double complementary color scheme, this uses two pairs of complementary colors Color Schemes Triadic TetradÃc
Texture This element refers to the feel or appearance of a surface A person may describe as actual or implied Actual texture can be felt tangibly based on the material that is used for the artwork while implied texture can be exhibited for instance, in a painting of fur of an animal
Value This element refers to lightness or darkness of an area This is evident in creating shadows for a two dimensional object to give an illusion of depth
Space Space refers to the area that is occupied by an object or a subject, as well as the area surrounding that object or subject. An illusion of space can still be created in a two-dimensional surface using perspective. There are two types of perspective atmospheric perspective, which utilizes the properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of distance, and linear perspective, which involves the use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines
ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE
Time and Motion Movement in the visual arts can either be an illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of movement is more common in two-dimensional artworks On the other hand, actual motion is easily seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind or are vibrating with the surrounding air
