The Elements of Art & The Principles of Designs

What are the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design?

The elements of art are the building blocks of an artwork: color, line, shape, form, value, texture, and space. They are the tools artists use when creating an artwork. The principles of design are how those building blocks are arranged: contrast, rhythm, proportion, balance, unity, emphasis, movement, and variety.

The Elements of Art

This week we are going to focus on The

COLOR

A set of primary colors consists of colorants or colored lights that can be mixed in varying amounts to produce a gamut of colors. This is the essential method used to create the perception of a broad range of colors in, e.g., electronic displays, color printing, and paintings

COLOR

What are the primary colors?

Three Primary Colors (Ps): Red, Yellow, Blue.

Secondary COLORs

Green, Orange, Violet.

Secondary COLORs

Secondary colors include orange, purple, and green, and they're derived from mixing equal amounts of two primary colors at a time. Red and yellow combine to make orange; blue and yellow yield green; and red and blue create purple. Keep in mind that the ratio of each color you use when mixing them affects the final hue.

Tertiary COLORs

Six Tertiary Colors (Ts): Which are formed by mixing a primary with a secondary.

Complementary

COLORs

Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined or mixed, cancel each other out by producing a grayscale color like white or black. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those two colors. Complementary colors may also be called "opposite colors"

COLOR Wheel

The color wheel, sometimes called a color circle, is a circular arrangement of colors organized by their chromatic relationship to one another. The primary colors are equidistant from each other on the wheel, and secondary and tertiary colors sit between them.

Claude Monet: the harmonious, analogous colors

Claude Monet is among one of the most well-known Impressionism artists. Around the 1860s, he and a group of young artists decided to paint what they saw, thought, and felt in a simple and intuitive way.

Line

What is Line in Terms of Art?

Line is one of the seven elements of art. It is considered by many to be the most basic element of art. In terms of art, line is considered "a moving dot".

A simple way of thinking of a line is to imagine a point that moves...

Line

What Is a Contour Line in Art? The contour line is a line which defines the outline of an object. The word contour comes from French, and it is defined as meaning the "outline" of a subject, it often defines a form or an edge of a subject. As such, the line "contours," or defines, the boundaries of a shape or object.

Blind Contour Drawing

Blind contour drawing is a drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper. The artistic technique was introduced by Kimon Nicolaïdes in The Natural Way to Draw, and it is further popularized by Betty Edwards as "pure contour drawing" in The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

Form & Shape

The Definition of 'Form' in Art

The term form can mean several different things in art. Form is one of the seven elements of art and connotes a three-dimensional object in space. A formal analysis of a work of art describes how the elements and principles of artwork together independent of their meaning and the feelings or thoughts they may evoke in the viewer. Finally, form is also used to describe the physical nature of the artwork, as in metal sculpture, an oil painting, etc.​

Form & Shape

Geometric Forms

Geometric forms are forms that are mathematical, precise, and can be named, as in the basic geometric forms: sphere, cube, pyramid, cone, and cylinder. A circle becomes a sphere in three dimensions, a square becomes a cube, a triangle becomes a pyramid or cone.

Organic forms

Organic forms are those that are free-flowing, curvy, sinewy, and are not symmetrical or easily measurable or named. They most often occur in nature, as in the shapes of flowers, branches, leaves, puddles, clouds, animals, the human figure, etc., but can also be found in the bold and fanciful buildings of the Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1852 to 1926) as well as in many sculptures.

Form in Drawing and Painting

Form in Drawing and Painting

In drawing and painting, the illusion of three-dimensional form is conveyed through the use of lighting and shadows, and the rendering of value and tone. Shape is defined by the outer contour of an object, which is how we first perceive it and begin to make sense of it, but light, value, and shadow hel

Shape

Shape within the context of art, shape is the external form, the contours, or the outline of a subject. Though shapes are two-dimensional in painting and drawing, artists use other elements including line, color, value, and shadow to give a shape the appearance of a three-dimensional shape.

Shapes & Value

Value: how light or dark a given color or hue can be. Values are best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient, from dark to light. The more tonal variants in an image, the lower the contrast. When shades of similar value are used together, they also create a low contrast imag

Image result for what is value in art

Value is how light or darkness of a color. For example: If you took a black and white photograph of your painting, the shades of grey would be the different values or tones within the painting.

Value

What is shading and shadows in art?

Answer. Shade can refer to any dark area in which sunlight or other bright light is blocked. Shadow refers to the dark shape that appears on a surface when an object blocks sunlight or other light.

What are the 4 types of textures in art?

Texture is important when trying to make a piece look as lifelike as possible, but it isn't all about realism. There are four different kinds; actual texture, implied texture, invented texture and abstract texture. But let's start by defining actual texture!

Space

What are examples of space in art?

Positive space refers to an area of interest within a piece of art: the trees within a landscape, the person in a portrait, a bowl or piece of fruit in a still life. So what is negative space in art? It is the space around and between objects, rather than the object itself.

& Space

Positive & Negative

Space

Positive Space

Positive space is the area or part of the composition that an object or subject occupies. It is usually the main focus of the painting, such as a vase of flowers, fruit, or candle in a still life, a person’s face in a portrait, or an animal in a wildlife painting, or a building, trees, and hills in a landscape. When used skillfully, positive space will add interest by enhancing and balancing the negative space in a composition.

Positive & Negative

Space

Negative Space

Negative space is that empty or open space that surrounds an object. It helps define the object, gives it some breathing room to prevent the painting from being too crowded, and significantly impacts how the art piece is perceived.

An interesting thing about negative space is that it can prompt viewers to seek out subtly hidden images within the negative space, causing your design to get more attention and be remembered while other less interesting works aren’t.

One point perspective

Why is negative space so important?

  • It can add interest and is an excellent way to draw attention to your works of art. A good balance between great negative space and intrigue will cause the viewer to desire more time to look at your work of art.
  • It can draw the viewer in, giving them a sense of inclusion because they discovered a subtle, hidden message or image in the composition. Even though it may be a simple composition, great negative space reveals there is more to the piece than first meets the eye, making it a more rewarding experience for the viewer.
  • It gives the eye a “place to rest,” thereby adding to the subtle appeal of the composition. The equal amounts of both negative and positive are considered by many to be good design.

Questions:

  • Does a negative space have shape?
  • In what ways is negative space important to the overall success of a composition?

The Principles of Design

The Elements and Principles of design are the building blocks that artist use to create art. The elements of design are the things that make art: line, color, shapes, textures, space and value. The principles of design are what we do with these elements, how we apply them to a work of art.

The principles of design are the rules and guidelines that artists apply to the elements of design to create art.

What does proportions mean in Art?

Proportion refers to the dimensions of a composition and relationships between height, width and depth. How proportion is used will affect how realistic or stylised something seems. Proportion also describes how the sizes of different parts of a piece of art or design relate to each other

Contrast

What is an example of contrast in design?

As a principle of art, contrast refers to the arrangement of opposite elements and effects. For example, light and dark colors, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes.

Drawing from a grid

Many artists use grids to scale up or transfer their drawings or photography onto canvas.

Balance

What is balance in principles of art example?

These principles all rely on visual elements being balanced, to create the effect that the principle describes. For example, an artwork with strong contrast requires there to be a balance in light and dark values, in saturated colours and muted tones or in smooth and rough texture.

Hummm, does this remind you of anything?

Emphasis

What is an example of emphasis in principles of design?

Emphasis: Setting up the focal point of your design

For example, using a dark-colored element within a brightly colored page is likely to emphasize the dark-colored element against the rest of the content. You can see this in headline and title text in written content on almost every website

Movement

What is pattern and movement in art?

Movement is the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.

Movement

Unity

Why is unity important in the principle of design?

Unity ties all the elements in your design together making it feel complete like each element in your design should belong there. You never want to have a design that has no real focus with elements placed randomly. You can think of unity in graphic design as a type of branding, something instantly recognizable.

Pattern

What is pattern in the principles of design?

Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art. Repetition works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art.
