2. Content Standards:
• Content Area (Visual Arts) Standards:
• 1.2 Enduring Understanding
• 1.VA:Cr1.2 Use observation and investigation in preparation for making a work
of art.
• 7.VA:Cr 1.2 Develop criteria to guide making a work of art or design to meet an
identified goal.
• Presenting—Anchor Standard 5: Develop and Refine Artistic
Techniques and Work for Presentation
• 1.VA:Pr5 Ask and answer questions such as where, when, why, and how
artwork should be prepared for presentation or preservation.
• 2.VA:Pr5 Distinguish between different materials or artistic techniques for
preparing artwork for presentation.
3. Lesson Objectives:
• Students will learn fundamental art terminology and demonstrate use
of vocabulary in comprehension questions and discussion formats.
• Students will understand how terminology creates pertinent criteria
for future critiques.
• Learn about how principles and elements of Art relate to the art
formulation process, visual perception of art works on the observer,
and artist respectively.
• Students will learn to differentiate between different artistic
techniques in order to prepare for the artwork process.
4. Hook: Why learn Elements/Principles?
• Can you name a movie which uses bright colors to stylize their film? What kind of emotions, memories, or
thoughts do these colors inspire? How can we relate that to creating art? What colors, values, line types,
and textures would you include on your piece to convey sadness/ happiness?
*Examples: Avatar, Wizard of Oz, Pleasant Ville, Sin City
• All art is created using these fundamental concepts such as COLOR.
• Your art will also utilize these basic concepts & ideas.
• The understanding of these ideas will assist you to better create your own artworks which convey the ideas you wish to make evident through your art.
• Your ideas will read for the audience better.
• Others will be able to give effective feedback about your art work, using the same vocabulary you use, which will help you understand how to improve
your creations.
5. • As we move through the presentation, you will be asked quesitons
about the slides we have just seen. Raise your hand if you think you
know the answer, then write down the correct answer on your work
sheet.
7. Here's a cool Video explaining these Elements

8. All Art Uses these 7 Elements
Value Form Line/Shape Texture
Color/Space
9. Examples of the 7 Elements
Value Color Shape Form Line Space Texture
10. Line: What is line? How it is described.
Definition:
Line: a point set in motion
3 Parts to Form a line:
• Starting Point – no dimensions, a period.
• The Line – the most common design element, a point set in motion
(including any variety of line)
• Contours—shapes bounded or bordered by line
Defining Shape and Form
Line may describe or add definition to create shape. Shape creates the notion
of an objects shape,form. modeling.
11. Line Continued: Types of line
Line Direction:
• Verticle: imply strength
• Horizontal: imply stability
• Diagonal: imply instability/movement
• Zigzag: implies instability
12. Line Continued
Line Quality:
1. Line quality - Any one of a number of characteristics of line determined by its weight,
direction, uniformity or other features.
• Wavy: implies motion, instability, playfullness
• Contour: describes the outline of a form
• Irregular: dotted/dashed, varried thickness, implies instability
• Volume: Thick: associated with manufactured/fake (cartoon)
• Thin: associated with frailty, or movement
13. What ELEMENT of Art does this
Picasso's Painting show most? A.) Value
B.)Shape
17. Color & Value
1. Color: an element created using the light-color spectrum.
Three properties of color:
• hue ( color name)
• Value (shades/tint) color is effected/manipulated by value.
• Intensity (saturation/ brightness)
18. Color & Value Continued
2. Value: the use of light and dark, often to
create a sense of depth or volume.
• Only by using the contrast of light and dark are we
able to see anything. It creates differentiation between
space and an object.
• Gray-scale – grays that contain no color,
just black and white they are Achromatic.
• Tints- variations of color containing grays
19. 1.What element of art does this Album cover show
most? ( value or color) 2. What does this convey?
20. Color Schemes are based on three main types of color relationships:
Primary Colors:
a group of 3 colors from
which all other colors can
be obtained by mixing.
(Red, yellow, and blue)
Secondary
Colors
22. • Tertiary Colors:
• A tertiary color or intermediate color is a
color made by mixing full saturation of one primary
color with half saturation of another primary color.
• Basically: mix a primary with a secondary
color.
23. The Color Wheel:
Here we see the Full
spectrum of colors
(not tints) in the
color wheel.
24. Color Theory
Colors can be chosen and combined
through out an art piece using various
color themes to create the emotional or
intellectual feel of the peice.
* Cool colors: sad, calm
* Warm colors: passionate,
angry
* Analogous: unifying,
balance
* Complimentary:
symetry, balancing
* Triadic: Exciting, Dynamic
25. Color Schemes:
• Monochromatic: comprised of tints, tones
and shades of a single hue.
• Gray-Scale: Using only shades of white and
black.
• Analogous: a group of 3 colors that are
adjacent to each other on the color wheel.
(RED, RED-ORANGE, ORANGE)
• Complementary: made from 2 colors that
are opposite each other on the color
wheel. (RED & GREEN, Purple and Yellow, Orange
and Blue)
27. Flat Values
• F l a t V a l u e s : colors that are highly saturated, with no tints or variation. Often
seen in:
• Cartoons
• Advertisements/products
• Comic books
• Denotes stylization
• By Piet Mondrian
28. What Type of color VALUE does this advertisement show? What
is more important to cartoons, color or line? State your reasoning.
35. Culmination Activity:
Fill out these worksheets with the information gained from this exercise. Include
drawings, sketches, color and definitions. Work in partners if you missed
something during the lecture.
Additonal Question: How do you plan to use color in your painting or ceramic
piece to convey your meaning/emotion/ tone?
