2. ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
• On a half sheet of yellow paper, write a short
paragraph describing the painting in the next
slide. Be as descriptive as you can. Imagine
that you are trying to describe the painting
over the phone. How would you describe it in
such a way that the other person would have
a mental image of the artwork.
4. Line
- The path of a moving point, that is, a mark
made by a tool or instrument as it is drawn
across a surface.
- A line is usually made visible by the fact that it
contrasts in value with the surface on which it
is drawn
5. - Linear- artists place great importance on
contours and outline
- Painterly- artists try to hide or even eliminate
the outline of their objects
9. Shape
• An area that stands out from the space next to
or around it due to a defined or implied
boundary, or because of differences of value,
color, and texture
• Shapes may be geometric or biomorphic
12. Value
• The relative degree of light or dark
• The characteristic color determined by relative
light or dark, the quantity of light reflected by
the color
13. Expressive Uses of Value
• Chiaroscuro- the technique of representation
that makes forceful use of contrasting lights
and darks.
17. Texture
• The surface character of a material which can
be experienced through touch or the illusion
of touch.
• Texture is produced by natural forces or
through an artist’s manipulation of the art
elements.
18. • Actual textures- rough or grainy textures you
can actually feel
• Implied texture- a painting, drawing , or print
can be made to look like it a textured surface
29. Space
• The interval, or measurable distance, between
points or images
• Mentally conditioned by the environment and
experience of the viewer
• Perception involves the whole pattern of
nerve and brain response to a visual stimulus
30. 2 Major Types of Space
• 1) Decorative space- absence of real depth as
we know it and is confined to the flatness of
the picture plane
32. • 2) Plastic space – the term ‘plastic’ is applied
to imagery other than decorative. Artists base
much of their work on their experiences in the
objective world, and it is a natural conclusion
that they should explore spatial resources
33. a. Shallow space- can be compared to the
feelings one might experience if confined to a
box or a stage.
