LINEArt would be NOTHING without line!

Line is a MOVING POINTLine Defines Shapes,

objects and FormTYPES OF LINEContour LINEGesture LINE

Many others curved, dotted, jagged.

+Contour LineContour means "outline", and shows exterior edges of objects

clean, connected lines, no shading (an open "shell" of the subject).

The line describes visible edges of an object.

Pure Contour drawings can have strength, clarity and simplicity.

Details like color, shadow and highlight are ignored

Draw only clearly defined edges

RESIST the temptation to color in shadows.

+

Gesture LINEAlthough a more relaxed line is used still pay attention to the direction of lines on the object.

This type of line is more free and Expressive

Quick line used to show motion or the quick form of a person or object.

+Mini Sketch Assignment

Try to make as many types of lines as you can.

Repeat each type of line several times.

Try all types of lines: wavy, curly, jagged, dashes, fat, thin, etc.

Fill your page with as many lines as you can.

+

SHAPE

Width+Height=SHAPE

Shape is an area enclosed by line.

It is 2 dimensional Can be geometric or

organic

+ Geometric Shape

Most are Angular except circles or ovalsMost Geometric shapes are man made.

Except Honeycomb

+ Organic ShapeNatural look and a flowing and curving appearance. Leaves, plants animals.

+Mini Sketch Assignment

In your Element Book Draw an example of geometric and organic shape working together to create a composition!

+

TEXTUREis the actual surface feel of an area or the simulated appearance of roughness, smoothness or many others.

There are 2 types of Texture

ActualImplied

+ Actual Texture

How something ACTUALLY FEELS! The real feel of an object!

+ Implied Texture

The illusion that something has Texture!Implied Texture is created through value!

Color is the most

expressive of the elements

and can also be very tricky to use properly,

Primary-RED YELLOW BLUE.Secondary- Green, Purple, OrangeTertiary- Yellow Orange, Blue Green ect

Complementary, Tone, Tint, Shade.

+Mini Sketch Assignment

Space is the illusion of objects having depth

on the 2-dimensional surface. Linear and

Atmospheric perspective are used.

+

Linear and Atmospheric PerspectiveAtmospheric Perspective

Or Atmospheric Perspectiverefers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. Colors become less Saturated (TINTS) usually blue.

Linear PerspectiveStraight lines are drawn to represent the horizon and visual rays, connecting the viewers eye to a point in the distance

Horizon lineVanishing Point

+Mini Sketch Assignment

Draw an example of Linear Perspective in your Element Book

+

Form

 Forms are 3-Dimensional. They occupy

space or give the illusion that they

occupy the space.

Height + width + depth = form Examples, Sphere, Cube Pyramid

+Mini Sketch Assignment

Draw an example of Form in your Element Book…. Cubes, Spheres ect.

+A Mini ProjectDo you UNDERSTAND how

the elements work TOGETHER? Create a collage using our- Scrap Magazines and one

other medium to create a collage. { Make SURE magazines and Scrap’s are as clean or in better condition than when you found them!!!!}

Use 5 of the 7 Elements in your Collage! { Element Books will can be a good way to check if your Collage really uses the Element} NAME, PER, DATE and Write the 5 elements you use and where they

are found in your collage!

Use a paper out of your Sketch book or come to ME for a paper.

Use Rubber Cement to glue magazine pieces Any other medium can be used to enhance:

Sharpie, Pastels, Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils { Try to make the 2 magazine and other medium work together.. BE CREATIVE!

+COLLAGE??? col·lage  (k-läzh, k-)n.1. a. An artistic composition of materials and objects

pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color.

Assembling (putting parts together) to create a unified whole Drawing!

Once finished you will be put into groups to discuss your collage each group will choose one collage to talk about in front of the class.
