The document provides definitions and explanations of key terms and principles of design. It discusses the elements of design, including line, shape, value, texture, color, and space. It then covers principles of design such as unity and variety, balance, emphasis, contrast, proportion and scale, rhythm and movement. For each term or principle, it gives a concise definition or explanation of how it relates to and can be used in design. The document serves as a useful reference for understanding fundamental concepts in visual art and design.
All elements of art are important for an artist. You don’t have to use all elements, however, at least one or two elements are used in a certain piece of art.

FORMAL ANALYSIS ASSIGNMENT
Directions:
• Find an artwork in a public place we can both easily visit in person. You must
contact me about which piece you wish to use for this paper before you start writing.
You must visit the artwork in person, more than once if possible, to examine both
formal elements and principles of design used in the composition. Make sure you’re
looking very closely, taking detailed notes, and even drawing sketches. Depending
on where your artwork is located, you should be able to take a NO-FLASH photo for
reference. For help with formal elements of art and principles of design, see the
attached handouts from the J. Paul Getty Museum.
• Beyond just observing, you should begin to cultivate some ideas about the formal
qualities of the artwork and what effect they have. You will develop these ideas into
a thesis and use your observations of the formal qualities of the artwork to support
your argument. For reference, refer to Sylvan Barnet’s example of a “Formal
Analysis,” found in the Formal Analysis module on D2L.
• You will then write a 1000-word (1000 minimum, 1300 maximum) essay carefully
analyzing the formal qualities of the artwork and what effect they have. Along with
your formal analysis essay, you must submit an image of the artwork you have
analyzed.
This assignment is worth 20% of your final grade and will be submitted in two stages.

Elements of Art Form Line Shape Color Texture Space ValueForm.docxjack60216
Elements of Art: Form Line Shape Color Texture Space Value
Form is an element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume. Cubes, spheres, and cylinders are examples of various forms.
Line is an element of art which refers to the continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point. It may be two dimensional, like a pencil mark on a paper or it may be three dimensional (wire) or implied (the edge of a shape or form) often it is a outline, contour or silhouette.
Shape is an enclosed space defined by other elements of art. Shapes may take on the appearance of two-d or three- objects.
Color Is an element of art with three properties:
1) Hue, the name of the color, e.g. red, yellow, etc
2) Intensity or the purity and strength of the color such as brightness or dullness
3) Value, or the lightness or darkness of the color
Texture refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object, such as roughness, smoothness, or softness. Actual texture can be felt while simulated textures are implied by the way the artist renders areas of the picture.
Space refers to the distance or area between, around, above or within things. It can be a description for both 2 and 3 dimensional portrayals.
Value describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Value is needed to express Volume.
Principles of Art: Emphasis Balance Harmony Variety Movement Rhythm Proportion Unity
Emphasis in a composition refers to developing points of interest to pull the viewer's eye to important parts of the body of the work.
Balance is a sense of stability in the body of work. Balance can be created by repeating same shapes and by creating a feeling of equal weight.
Harmony is achieved in a body of work by using similar elements throughout the work, harmony gives an uncomplicated look to your work.
Variety refers to the differences in the work; you can achieve variety by using difference shapes, textures, colors and values in your work.
Movement adds excitement to the work by showing action and directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane.
Rhythm is a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and colors. Alternating lights and darks also give a sense of rhythm.
Proportion or scale refers to the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work. Proportion gives a sense of size seen as a relationship of objects, such as smallness or largeness.
Unity is seen in a painting or other work when all the parts equal a whole. Your work should not appear disjointed or confusing.

Art, and especially visual arts, is the topic that requires both background knowledge and imagination. Most teachers are afraid of it, the same as most students are bored with it. However, with the concept maps and cause-and-effect sentences it may become a source of fun in the English classroom. So, to make teaching of art more effective, I suggest a couple of ideas, which will also be the key points for the workshop:
1) Basic history of art - it gives us not just facts but useful vocabulary for describing works of art.
2) Elements of design and what they mean.
3) How to describe a picture or a photograph.

The following rubric will be used to assess the final ...
Museum Paper
FORMAL ANALYSIS
Due 12/2
1. Description = pure description of the object without value judgments,
analysis, or interpretation.
· It answers the question, "What do you see?"
· The various elements that constitute a description include:
a. Form of art whether architecture, sculpture, painting or one of the minor arts
b. Medium of work whether clay, stone, steel, paint, etc., and technique (tools used)
c. Size and scale of work (relationship to person and/or frame and/or context)
d. Elements or general shapes (architectural structural system) within the composition, including building of post-lintel construction or painting with several figures lined up in a row; identification of objects
e. Description of axis whether vertical, diagonal, horizontal, etc.
f. Description of line, including contour as soft, planar, jagged, etc.
g. Description of how line describes shape and space (volume); distinguish between lines of objects and lines of composition, e.g., thick, thin, variable, irregular, intermittent, indistinct, etc.
h. Relationships between shapes, e.g., large and small, overlapping, etc.
i. Description of color and color scheme = palette
j. Texture of surface or other comments about execution of work
k. Context of object: original location and date
2. Analysis = determining what the features suggest and deciding why the artist used such features to convey specific ideas.
· It answers the question, "How did the artist do it?"
· The various elements that constitute analysis include:
a. Determination of subject matter through naming iconographic elements, e.g., historical event, allegory, mythology, etc.
b. Selection of most distinctive features or characteristics whether line, shape, color, texture, etc.
c. Analysis of the principles of design or composition, e.g., stable,
repetitious, rhythmic, unified, symmetrical, harmonious, geometric, varied, chaotic, horizontal or vertically oriented, etc.
d. Discussion of how elements or structural system contribute to appearance of image or function
e. Analysis of use of light and role of color, e.g., contrast, shadowy,
illogical, warm, cool, symbolic, etc.

j. Reaction to object or monument
3. Interpretation = establishing the broader context for this type of art.
· It answers the question, "Why did the artist create it and what does it mean”
· The various elements that constitute interpretation include:
a. Main idea, overall meaning of the work.
b. Interpretive Statement: Can I express what I think the artwork is about in one sentence?
c. Evidence: What evidence inside or outside the artwork su.
Writing about ArtArt is a provocative medium, and your chall.docxbillylewis37150
Writing about Art
Art is a provocative medium, and your challenge in writing about art may often be
to define and evaluate the artist’s choices and techniques, which, according to your
intellect and perception, arouse interest and convey meaning. In most cases, then, you
will be translating the visual (what you see, or observe) into language (what you write).
In order to do this, you will have to be extremely attentive to the characteristics of the work—your observations.
This means that your description will incorporate a large portion of your essay. Remember
to be attentive to the vocabulary of the discipline of Art. I f you do not know what a word means, better not to use it.
You must also be able to develop a thesis statement with a detailed analysis and argument about the artwork you have chosen.
Therefore, you must consider what it is you want to say, and use description to make that
point. In many ways, writing an Art History essay is similar to writing other types of
essays in the Humanities. It requires a clear and focused topic, an arguable thesis, an
organized format and structure, clear and coherent paragraphs, and a command of
grammar and style.
Comparison and Contrast
In many beginning Art History courses, and in more advanced ones as well, you
will be asked to write a paper in which you make a comparison and contrast between two
works of art. This type of essay usually requires a substantial comparative judgment of the two works, which will function as your thesis statement.
One option for a thesis statement for this kind of comparative essay could be based on how you see the two works in relation to each other and to some aspect of the human condition, or culture, or history. It could be, for example, that both artists painted peasants working in a field, but one painting suggests the oneness of humans and nature, perhaps because the figures appear to be an integral part of the field in which they are working, while the other painting emphasizes the separation between humans and nature. The evidence you provide for your thesis will include your interpretation, analysis, and description of the characteristics of both works, and must at all times relate to your thesis. For example, if you are discussing horizontality or verticality, you need to first accurately and clearly describe these elements in both works and then evaluate how these visual orientations demonstrate the validity of your thesis concerning humans as a part of nature or separate from it.
Unless the assignment specifies a work-by-work approach, it is usually best that
you do not divide the paper into two discrete sections: a discussion of one work of art
followed by a discussion of the other. Instead, each paragraph can include discussion of
both works in relation to a particular element or a well thought-out combination of
elements, such as color and texture. The point of comparison or contrast that each paragraph makes must, remember, .
The presentation will give you a good understanding about the significance, meaning and the types of designing elements and principles. For more visit our website https://www.admecindia.co.in/.

Garrison uwm ds brief history part2_2_4_2014
1. Terms and Vocabulary, Garrison
“The eye comprehends by comparing and distinguishing...” Gunnar Sneum
Design: The overall basic concept of a work of art; the organization of elements that make
up a work of art or other human-made object; different parts making a unified whole; a
sense of visual order.
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN
Line: Line defines space, produces movement or direction, creates pattern and texture,
defines contour, shows gesture; line is capable of infinite variety by varying weight or
character (lie quality); can be actual or implied.
Shape: an enclosed, two-dimensional area (can be defined by line, value, color, etc.);
organic or geometric; positive/negative (figure/ground relationship).
Value: degree of lightness or darkness; creates form, volume, contrast. Light values:
whites and light grays; dark values: dark grays, black. In color, high (light) values are
tints (adding white to a hue); low (dark) values are shades (adding black to a hue).
Hues have different values (yellow has a high value; violet has a low value).
Texture: actual (tactile) texture is the surface quality, the way the surface feels; implied
(visual) refers to patterns as well as recreating the “look” of actual texture.
Color: A perceived quality in direct light or in objects reflecting light that varies with the
wavelength of the light energy, the brilliance of the light source, and the degree to
which the objects reflect or absorb the light energy falling on them. Primary: red,
yellow, blue; theoretically all colors are made from these. Secondary: orange, green,
violet; a mixture of two primaries. Tint (add white), tone (add gray, shade add black.
Space: in two dimensional art, refers to the picture plane, the illusion of depth on a flat
surface. In three dimensional art it is actual depth, the air around the form. Positive
and negative space.
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
Unity and Variety: Unity refers to the arrangement of parts that will produce a harmonious
whole, a sense of completeness. Its purpose is to make the artwork coherent. All
elements works together to form a unified whole. Variety refers to differences,
incorporated to add interest to an artwork.
Balance: an equal or pleasing distribution of visual weight (the aim of composition).
Imbalance may be used to evoke an uneasy, disquieting response. Symmetrical,
asymmetrical, radial: all achieved by placement, shape, value, color, texture.
Emphasis: focal point; single strong or dominant element.
Contrast: differences in an element or elements within a design; high contrast: extreme
differences (like black against white); low contrast: subtle differences (white against
light gray).
Proportion and Scale: scale refers essentially to size; large scale means big; small scale
means little. Proportion refers to the relative size, size measured against other
elements or against some mental norm or standard.
Rhythm and Movement: in art, rhythm refers to the movement of the viewer’s eye across
recurrent visual motifs These are created by repetition of any of the elements; pattern.
Movement is implied by causing the eye to travel across the picture plane. Rhythm is
associated with hearing (in music rhythm is a repeated sound or beat).
2. First Post in D2L Discussions due Wednesday, February 5
UWM Union Art Gallery, "One Piece at a Time" post
See the exhibition: Collaborative Design: Great Minds Think Together
1. Go to the UWM Union Art Gallery exhibition Collaborative Design: Great Minds Think Together.
Choose one collaborative design to write about. Write down the title, date, medium, artists names, etc.
2. Focus on that work alone for at least 30 minutes.
Draw a sketch of one part of the collaboration in your sketchbook/journal.
3. Write down everything you SEE in the visuals for that design in your design sketchbook/journals.
(Pencils only!) Describe it so that someone who has not seen it understands what you are writing about.
Read the gallery information and take notes. Cite all quotes from the gallery information.
4. Organize your notes into a coherent account of your experience.
5. Remember, it is about observation, what is in there before you (visual and written),
not how you feel about the work.
6. Adhere to the writing principles in Strini’s Practical Theory of Writing in D2L Content.
7. Write a rough draft in a Word document. Revise as needed. Use spell check.
This should be approximately 500 words.
8. When perfect, post in D2L Discussion Forum.
9. You can review previous Third Coast Digest “One Piece at a Time” articles on:

4. DO NOT:
• Use the clichés “caught my eye” or “in conclusion.”
(Use of either means an F grade!)
• Start a sentence with “I feel.”
• Begin the paper with a little story such as:
“I visited the Union Art Gallery to see the
Collaborative Design exhibition…with my girlfriend
who had never been there before…” etc.
Any information about the assignment itself should not be in
the paper! We all know the assignment.
Get right to the description of the design.
Make the first sentence (the first three words!) engaging for
the reader.
