ART ELEMENT: LINE

Objective:

• Differentiate between contour lines and outlines
• Perceive and discuss how lines can be expressive
• Create a variety of line drawings including a line contour, blind contour, outline, continuous line contour and cross contour

Their are many words

used to describe lines.

Mini art lessons

one class period.

JUMP START

Objective: Review and understand the ART ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN through mini art lessons and discussions.

SHAPE & FORM

VALUE

Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye.

The third and final property of color is its value, meaning its lightness or darkness. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colors.

There are three (3) properties to color. First is hue, which simply means the name we give to a color (red, yellow, blue, etc.).

The second property is intensity, which refers to the strength and vividness of the color. For example, we may describe the color blue as "royal" (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (grayed).

Shape and Form

Mini Lesson: Shape

The Element of Art, VALUE refers to the lightness or darkness of a color.

OBJECTIVE:

• Learn about the art Elements Shape and Form.
• Differentiate between geometric and organic shape and forms.
• Learn about open and closed shape and forms.
• Learn about Objective and Non Objective Shapes and Forms.

Color has a profound effect on us even though we may not be aware of it. Every day our emotions, moods, mental acuity and even physical sensations—such as appetite—are influenced by the colors that surround us.

Imagine that during the night while you were sleeping someone came and painted your walls and ceiling black. How would it make you feel as you began your day? Now imagine waking up to a bright sky blue, or a brilliant yellow, or a pale mint green.

Obj:

• Understanding the psychological and symbolic effects of color, and color theory

Space can refer to :

• Positive and Negative Space
• Actual Space
• Implide Space

• It is an important tool for artist because it defines a form.
• Contrast of value separates objects in space.
• Value vocabulary includes tint (adding white to make something lighter), shade (adding black to make something darker) and hue (the true color).
• Shadow, highlight, and light source are also some vocabulary words to consider with this element of art.

Pablo Picasso's Blue Period

BLUE

Artists and designers—as well as advertisers—use color very deliberately to make you feel a certain way. Ever wonder why McDonald’s uses so much red and yellow? The colors red and yellow stimulate appetite. Color in the clothing you wear can also have an unconscious effect on others.

Step 1:

Colors speak all languages. (Joseph Addison)

Objective: Learn about the different ways to create

the illusion of space on a two dimentional surface.

If you've ever participated in an art class you should be familiar with the ELEMENTS OF ART AND PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN

Organic shapes

are associated

with things

from the natural

world, like

plants and

animals.

Mini Lesson: Color

Step 2:

• Create a value scale using color

Objective: Define the ART ELEMENTS

Shapes and Forms can be

Organic

or

Geometric.

"Art, like morality, consists

in drawing the line

somewhere."

VALUE & CONTRAST

Simulated Texture

SPACE

Actual Texture

3 Different Types of Texture

• Actual
• Simulated
• Invented

Open Shapes

and Forms

Invented Texture

Take rocks, for example. A real, 3-D rock might feel rough or smooth, and definitely feels hard when touched or picked up. A painter, depicting a rock, would create the illusions of these qualities through use of color, line, shape, etc.

Texture is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work.

• Trace your hand on a sheet of paper
• Create 5 different textures on each of the apendages (include actual, simulated and invented)
• If finished early, create a background

Mini Lesson: Texture

It can define a space, create an outline or pattern, imply movement or texture and allude to mass or volume. Lines are absolutely essential in creating art.

Cross contour drawing deals with illustrating the way an object sits in space using lines. For example, if you were to draw a sphere, there would be circular marks inside the sphere that will illustrate the way the sphere is round.

Contour lines define the outer edges of forms and surfaces within a form, such as wrinkles and folds. These line drawings suggest depth in addition to height and width. They are like outline drawings with all the "extra information".

OUTLINE

Like a shadow, they

look flat and don't

provide much

information about the

object.

Lines marking the outer contours or boundaries of an object or figure.

While contour lines describe edges, cross-contours describe form and volume. These lines can follow planes of form, moving around and across objects as well as through them.

Michael Craig-Martin, a contemporary conceptual artist and painter, emphasizes contour lines

in his art.

Implied Space

There are many ways to create an illusion of space (implied space) in two-dimensional art. This includes overlapping objects, size comparison and position of objects, and color (cool colors tend to recede, while warm colors tend to move toward the viewer.

Artist train their eyes and hands to work together

by making blind contour drawings and continuous contour line drawings.

Blind contour drawing trains the eye and hand to work as a team, and it helps students to see all of the details of the object.

Mini Lesson: Outlines

• Trace the outlines of the objects at your table.
• Write your name and period on the back of your paper.
• Put your paper in your art folder to use for another project.

You have 5 minutes to complete

this assignment.

Mini Lesson: Contour Lines

• Each table has a drawing assignment that you will follow
• Follow the directions to create contour lines, blind contour lines, and continuous contour lines.

Think of a topographical map--the lines move across the terrain. Cross-contour lines do the same thing.

Blind contour drawing may not produce a good drawing; however it helps artist to draw more realistically, rather than relying on their memorized drawing symbols.

An artist makes a blind contour line drawing by fixing his or her eyes on the outline of the model or object, then tracks the edge of the object with his or her eyes, while simultaneously drawing the contour very slowly, in a steady, continuous line without lifting the pencil or looking at the paper.

Look at how Rembrandt used cross contour lines in one of his elephant drawings.

Van Gogh also used

Cross- Contour lines

in his paintings.

Nicholas Di Genova

Draw cross-contour lines over the objects

on the worksheet. If you finish before class ends trace an outline of your hand on the back of the worksheet and draw cross-contour lines over it

to elude volume.

Mine Lesson: Cross-contour lines

LINE

Mini Lesson: Form, Value and Space

• Shade in value scale using 5 values, ranging from white to black.
• Shade in sphere using 5 values. Follow the contour of the shpere when shading.
• Shade in background with contrasting values.

**** If you are finished, shade in your outline paper.

Try creating contrast by puting your light values against your dark values.

A geometric shape

or form is a geometric figure that can be described with mathematics and that is used in geometry.
