Line An element of art that is the path of a moving point through space. 3 What types of lines do you see? What do the lines do? Van Gogh – Thatched Cottage in Cordeville
4 Describe the lines in this work. How are they different from the lines Van Gogh used? Piet Mondrian – Kompositsioon A
5 Shape A defined two dimensional area. Has height and width. May be geometric or free form. 6 Shape is used in
this work to make a striking statement. How do you think people reacted to this sort of art when it was new? Ellsworth Kelly – White Black 7 Describe how shape is used in the work of art. Georgia O’Keefe 8 Form An object with three dimensions. Has height, width, and depth. May be geometric or free form. 9 What kind of form would you describe this as? Geometrical or free form? Why? Richard Sweeney – Paper
Sculpture 10 This sculpture uses a mixture of both Geometrical and Free Forms. Why do you think the artist gave it this title? Richard Deacon – Between Fiction and Fact
11 Notice the symmetry. This is a very complex form that uses repeated shapes to create a three dimensional structure. Example 1 12 This piece is quite different. Also symmetrical, there is a very fine balance that allows it to be supported by one “foot” at the far end. What does this form remind you of? Example 2
13 This is a completely different approach. This artist had a definite form in mind that is based on reality. You can see the roof lines, the staircases, door, and windows of this Japanese Pagoda. Example 3
14 Another sculpture intended to depict a form from everyday life. Aside from color, this artist has used paper to depict a very life-like representation of this truck. Example 4 15 Texture The element of art that refers to how things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched. RoughSmoothMatteShiny 16 Concerning Texture, what do you think this painting would look like in person?
Why? Anselm Kiefer – The Unknown Painter 17 Space The elements of arts that refers to the emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects. Shapes and forms are defined by space around and within them.
18 How is space being used in this portrait? Vermeer – Girl with a Pearl Earring 19 Value The element
of art that describes the darkness or lightness of an object. 20 What do you notice about the value of the light in this painting? How does it help set the mood or the work? Francisco de Goya – Saturn Devouring his Son
21 Color An element of art that is derived from reflected light. The sensation of color is aroused in the brain by response of the eyes to different wavelengths of light.
22 Color Terms Primary – Red, Yellow, Blue Secondary – Orange, Green, Purple (Violet) Intermediate (Tertiary) –
Mixed colors of Primary and Secondary Intensity – Hue is full intensity Hue – Pure color Shade – Pure + Black = Duller Tint – Pure + White = Brighter 23 Primary 24 Secondary
25 Tertiary/Intermediate 26 27 Color Harmony Analogous – colors next to each other on the wheel Complementary – colors across the wheel 28 Analogous Colors next to each other on the wheel
29 Complementary Across the color wheel 30 Triadic Triadic colors are
high-energy colors that are found by choosing three colors that are separated by 120 degrees on the color wheel. The primary (red, blue, and yellow) and secondary (purple, orange, green) colors are examples of triadic colors 31 How would you describe the use of color in this print?
Andy Warhol – Shot Orange Marilyn 32 Summary Write a 2-3 sentence summary 33 Look at the painting to the right (The Old Guitarist
by Pablo Picasso). Think about what you see specifically the subject/object, use of elements of art, the mood/meaning, and your judgment of the work. As a class we’ll discuss it using the steps of art criticism. Art Criticism 34 Presentation on theme: "The Element of … LINE …the path of a moving point through space."— Presentation transcript: 1 The Element of … LINE …the path of a moving point through space. 2 Why are lines so important to art?
3 OUTLINE A line that shows or creates the outer edges of a shape.
4 Implied Lines A series of points that the viewer’s eyes automatically connect.
5 Line of Sight -An implied line based on the direction of a subject’s gaze in a piece of art. Wyeth Christina’s World 1948
6 7 Kinds of Lines ~Vertical ~Horizontal ~Diagonal ~Zigzag
~Curved 8 VERTICAL Vertical Lines-Lines that move up and down 9 HORIZONTAL Horizontal Lines- lines that move left to right and are
parallel to the horizon. Horizon Line- where the eye perceives the meeting of land/water and sky. Examples: You, when you are lying down. Where the wall and floor meet. Feelings: Rest, peace, relaxation 10 Diagonal Lines Diagonal Lines- slanted lines between vertical and horizontal lines. Feelings: Instability 11 ZIGZAG LINES Zigzag Lines- Combination of diagonal
lines 12 CURVED LINES Curved Lines- Lines that change direction gradually.
13 5 Ways Lines Vary Length 2.Width 3. Direction
14 Contour Drawing A contour drawing defines the edges and surface ridges of an object, making it appear 3-dimensional.
15 Blind Modified Contour Drawing
16 A gesture drawing is created with expressive line movement that captures a feeling of movement. 17 ??? Which element is a path of a moving point through space?A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.
What element of art is a moving point?Line refers to a continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. It can define shape, space, create pattern, imply movement or texture and allude to mass or volume.
What is the path of a dot through space?A line is a mark drawn with a pointed, moving tool. • A line is a path of a dot through space.
What in terms of art is a moving dot?In terms of art, line can be described as a moving dot. Line is perhaps the most basic element of drawing. Line Variation - the use of a variety of line including width, length, texture, thickness, etc. to add interest to a drawing or painting.
