Colorproduced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eyeHue - the name we give to a color, including all colors on the color spectrum and black and whiteB. Intensity - the strength and vividness of the color. PRIMARY Colors & SECONDARY colorsREDBLUEYELLOWPURPLEGREENORANGE

6TextureReal or Actual texture- the way something actually feelsImplied texture- the way something appears to feel visually

ValueThe lightness or darkness of a color. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colors

A. Tint - when white is added to a pure hue B. Shade - when black is added to a pure hueC. Tone when white AND black are added to a color

ShapeA. 2 dimensional space that is contained within an areaB. Organic- created by using irregular lines might be found in nature.

C. Geometric shape-has a strict pattern 2D enclosed area created by exact mathematical law.

FormA. A 3D spaceB. Organic An irregular 3-dimensional enclosed area, like that which might be found in nature.C. Geometric 3D enclosed area that has a strict pattern

SpaceA. The appearance of depth in artB. Actual the real distance between or around areas or components within of a piece.C. Implied - the appearance of space or depth within a work of art.

D. Positive Solid areas or objectsE. Negative air around solid objects, space where other things are not present SpaceActual or implied?

Positive or negative?

Principles of DesignThe tools to make art or what we use to organize the Elements of ArtBalancethe ways in which the elements (lines, shapes, etc.) of a piece are arranged to create a feeling of stability in a work of art

Symmetry - elements are given equal "weight" from an imaginary line in the middle of a piece.Near symmetry- same weightnot the same stuff. Asymmetry- elements are placed unevenly in a piece, but work together to produce harmony overall.

Movement Using the elements to direct the viewers eye along a path and to show movement or direction. Actual an object that has true motion.Implied - the suggestion of motion in a design.

Muyako Fujino, Day of the Sea Sail.

Jacques Henri Lartigue - Grand Prix de Circuit de la Seine, June 26th 1912. Rhythm, Rhythm,Rhythm,Rhythm A visual beat or a regular repetition of the elements of art to create the look and feel of movement.

Variety(Contrast)Differences between how an element of art is used OR using opposing qualities next to eachother. High contrast= VERY different Low contrast= a little different

Jona Cerwinski, Sharpie Lamborghini, 2007.Contrast black and white.

Jacob Lawrence, Migration Series #11,1940-1. ComplimentaryColors green and red Contrast.EmphasisWhat stands out in the art and what draws the viewers attention in.

Rembrandt van Rijn, The Night Watch, 1642.Famous for his use of light and value.

Nick Brandt, Windswept Lion, Serengeti, 2002.Pattern(Repetition)the repetition of an element (or elements) in a work

Unity(Compare)How the elements in an artwork or works come together to create a pleasing image. or how they go together.

ProportionThe size relationship between two or more objects.
