1. LESSON 2

2. • An expression of our thoughts, emotions, intuitions,
and desires, but it is even more personal than that:
it’s about sharing the way we experience the world,
which for many is an extension of personality.
• It is the communication of intimate concepts that
cannot be faithfully portrayed by words alone. And
because words alone are not enough, we must find
some other vehicle to carry our intent.
• But the content that we instill on or in our chosen
media is not in itself the art. Art is to be found in how
the media is used, the way in which the content is
expressed.

3. • Beauty is much more than cosmetic: it is not about
prettiness.
• Beauty is rather a measure of affect, a measure of
emotion.
• In the context of art, beauty is the gauge of successful
communication between participants – the
conveyance of a concept between the artist and the
perceiver. Beautiful art is successful in portraying the
artist’s most profound intended emotions, the
desired concepts, whether they be pretty and bright,
or dark and sinister.
• Beauty in art is eternally subjective.

4. Van Jones presented a graph that accurately
represents the interaction between the four
aspects of society and its different members.

6. A path created by a moving point,
mark or object. It is a dot that takes a
walk. A line can be straight, swirly,
wavy, jagged, dotted, dashed, broken,
thick, thin, zig zag, diagonal, vertical,
horizontal, curved, bold, parallel or
perpendicular.

7. A two-dimensional (2D), flat enclosed
area. When a line crosses over itself it
creates a shape. Examples of shapes
could be geometric, organic/natural,
irregular, circle, square, rectangle,
diamond, oval, crescent, heart,
triangle, octagon.

8. The element of art derived from
reflected or absorbed light. Color adds
interest and mood to a work of art. It is
also referred to as "Hue". The primary
colors are red, yellow and blue. The
secondary colors are created by mixing
the primary colors. They are purple
(violet), orange and green.

9. How something feels or looks like it
would feel if you could touch it. There
are two kinds of texture: Real (how
something actually feels, such as a
sculpture) and Implied (when an artist
paints or draws a texture but it is
artificial).

10. Objects having three dimensions (3D),
or height, width, and depth. You can
walk around a form. Examples of form
can include cubes, cylinders, and
spheres.

11. The lightness or darkness of an object; the
degree of lightness or darkness in a piece of
art; or the effect of light and shade on
objects in a picture. Value vocabulary
includes tint (adding white to make
something lighter), shade (adding black to
make something darker) and hue (the true
color). Shadow, highlight, and light source
are also some vocabulary words to consider
with this element of art.

12. The element of art that refers to the
emptiness or area around or within objects.
Positive space refers to the part of the
artwork that takes up space. Negative space
is the area around that object. This element
of art also refers to the "parts" of the
picture... Foreground, Middle ground and
Background!

14. the distribution of the visual weight of
objects, colors, texture, and space. If the
design was a scale, these elements should be
balanced to make a design feel stable. In
symmetrical balance, the elements used on
one side of the design are similar to those on
the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the
sides are different but still look balanced. In
radial balance, the elements are arranged
around a central point and may be similar.

15. The part of the design that catches
the viewer’s attention. Usually the
artist will make one area stand out
by contrasting it with other areas.
The area could be different in size,
color, texture, shape, etc.

16. the path the viewer’s eye takes
through the work of art, often to
focal areas. Such movement can be
directed along lines, edges, shape,
and color within the work of art.

17. the repeating of an object or
symbol all over the work of art.

18. works with pattern to make the
work of art seem active. The
repetition of elements of design
creates unity within the work of art.

19. the feeling of unity created when all
parts (sizes, amounts, or number)
relate well with each other. When
drawing the human figure,
proportion can refer to the size of
the head compared to the rest of
the body.

20. created when one or more
elements of design are used
repeatedly to create a feeling of
organized movement. Rhythm
creates a mood like music or
dancing. To keep rhythm exciting
and active, variety is essential.

21. the use of several elements of
design to hold the viewer’s
attention and to guide the viewer’s
eye through and around the work
of art.

22. the feeling of harmony between all
parts of the work of art, which
creates a sense of COMPLETENESS.
