It explains techniques like shading, perspective, and principles of design that artists use to create depth, movement and convey ideas/emotion. Key elements discussed include value, color theory, line quality, organic vs geometric shapes, and how elements work together in a composition.
Art can be defined as a visual representation that communicates an idea, feeling, or design. It is created by artists who use their imagination and skills to express themselves visually. Applied art refers to functional objects that are also visually pleasing. An artist's perception and understanding of elements like line, color, shape, form, space, and texture allow them to interpret the world around them and incorporate these fundamentals into their work. Principles of design such as balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, and unity are used by artists to organize the elements and create a sense of completeness or movement within a work of art.

The principles are balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm and movement, pattern and repetition, unity, and variety. They are the basic building blocks and organizational tools used to create visual artworks. Examples of artists who exemplified the use of these elements and principles in their works are provided.
Shapes are two-dimensional figures defined by lines that enclose an area and have width and height but no depth. There are geometric shapes with smooth edges like circles and triangles, and organic shapes found in nature with more complex edges. A form is a three-dimensional shape that has depth in addition to width and height. Shapes can create a sense of depth through techniques like overlapping or using positive and negative space between figures.
Elements and Principles of art and the Processes used to create artAramais Orkusyan
This document summarizes the key elements and principles of art. It outlines the core elements of line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture. It then explains the principles of balance, emphasis, contrast, rhythm and movement, pattern and repetition, unity, variety, and proportion. The document concludes by briefly mentioning different artistic processes and techniques like drawing, printmaking, painting, photography, sculpture, and architecture.
The document provides an overview of the key visual elements of art, including line, shape, color, value, texture, space, time and motion. It discusses each element in depth, providing examples of how artists use elements like line quality, shape, value contrasts and color symbolism to express themselves visually. It also explains how principles such as linear perspective, light and shadow, and implied motion can be used to create the illusion of depth, texture and movement on a two-dimensional surface.
This document discusses design principles and elements including balance, movement and rhythm, pattern, emphasis, unity, line, value, colour, texture, and space. It provides examples to illustrate each principle and element, such as a symmetrical image demonstrating balance, a painting using repetition to create rhythm, and a snow scene using techniques like perspective to depict space. The principles aim to create harmony and guide the viewer's eye through a work of art.
The document provides a study guide for a test on art history and visual art elements. It lists 18 works of art and their artists. It then defines and explains key terms related to visual art elements and principles such as line, shape, color, space, perspective and design principles. The definitions cover techniques, concepts and styles in both 2D and 3D art forms.
The document outlines five key design principles: balance, rhythm, proportion, harmony, and emphasis. It defines each principle and provides examples. Balance can be symmetrical, with equal elements on both sides of a central point, or asymmetrical, with differing but visually balanced elements. Rhythm leads the eye through a design. Proportion refers to the relative sizes of elements. Harmony involves both unity of style and variety through different compatible elements. Emphasis draws the focal point of a design.
The document discusses different elements of art including line, shape, form, space, and texture. It describes the five basic types of lines - horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved, and zigzag - and how each can communicate different feelings. Shape is defined as a two-dimensional figure enclosed by a line that has height and width. The two types of shapes are geometric, which are precise, and organic, which are irregular. Form refers to a three-dimensional object that has height, width and depth. Space is the area between, around, above and below objects. Texture describes the surface quality of an object and can be tactile, artificial, or visual.
Shape is defined as a two-dimensional area or mass delimited by contour lines. There are two main types of shapes: geometric shapes which follow mathematical patterns and transmit order, and organic shapes which have irregular profiles and convey more dynamism. Shapes can also be open or closed, and positive or negative. The key parts of a shape include the outline/contour, silhouette, and infill. Shapes are used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space by suggesting visual cues of distance and depth.
Line is the basic element of visual art and can be defined as a dot in motion that has position and direction in space. Lines can vary in width, direction, and length, and are used to define shapes, contours, outlines, mass, and volume. Different line qualities communicate different emotions - horizontal lines suggest rest, vertical lines communicate loftiness, diagonal lines imply movement, and curved lines can indicate comfort or confusion depending on their shape. Line is the main element in drawings, where it is used for contour or gesture drawings, and also plays an important role in painting through outlining forms and shading with techniques like hatching and cross-hatching.
The document provides an overview of principles of design including unity and variety, balance, emphasis and subordination, scale and proportion, and rhythm. It discusses key concepts such as symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, visual weight and emphasis, the use of scale and proportion in composition, and creating a sense of movement through repetition. Examples of artworks are presented to illustrate applications of these different principles.

1. Chaet contends that drawing consists of marks on a two-dimensional plane and that the purpose of a drawing is decided by the individual artist. A drawing can serve many unique ends or concepts through the use of techniques like line, texture, form, and space.
2. Chaet discusses negative space, or interspace, as the empty space between forms in a drawing. Negative space can play an important role in expressing the concept of a drawing, such as in Van Gough's drawing Landscape: The Harvest which uses negative space to depict motion from wind.
3. An artist achieves composition in a drawing through various strategies like figure-ground relationships, interspace/negative space, rhythm,
This document defines key vocabulary terms used in visual arts, such as elements of design (line, shape, color, etc.), principles of design (balance, emphasis, rhythm, etc.), art mediums, styles, and techniques.

The document is an overview of foundational elements and principles of visual design that artists use to structure works and convey messages visually.
This document discusses different types of balance in art composition. Symmetrical balance involves arranging elements so that one side of a composition mirrors the other, as seen in the Taj Mahal example where everything is identical on both sides. There are two types of symmetrical balance: bilateral symmetry, where both halves of an artwork exactly mirror each other across a central axis, and radial symmetry, where elements are arranged around a central point. Asymmetrical balance involves arranging unequal elements on both sides of a composition to create a visual counterbalance, as in the painting example where trees on one side are balanced by a large moon on the other.
The document discusses the 7 elements of art and design - line, shape, color, value, texture, form, and space. It provides descriptions and examples for each element. The assignment asks students to choose 2 elements to illustrate using mixed medias such as pencil, colored pencil, marker, or pastel. They will be graded on their understanding, communication of the elements, and creativity. The goal is for students to use the organizational principles of elements to solve visual art problems.
The document discusses key concepts in visual art design including elements, principles, and types of balance. It defines elements as the basic components of art like line and color. Principles are the ways elements are organized, such as emphasis, harmony, and rhythm. There are three types of balance: formal/symmetrical where both sides mirror each other; informal/asymmetrical where sides are not identical but appear balanced; and radial where all elements radiate from a central point. The document provides examples and definitions for various design elements and principles to help artists arrange elements in a visually cohesive composition.

This is an edited copy of a ppt originally written and uploaded by another Art teacher., Please go here for the original version
http://www.uek12.org/MrRodriguesSite.aspx
This document provides an overview of how to study art by learning about elements, principles, design psychology, and materials techniques. It discusses key art elements like line, shape, form, value, color, texture, light and space. Principles of design like contrast, harmony, balance, rhythm, unity and emphasis are also covered. Compositional functions of lines and shapes are explained through examples. Different types of art are defined as representational, abstract and non-representational. The importance of technique and using various materials to successfully translate ideas and emotions into art is highlighted.
The seven design elements are line, shape, color, value, texture, space, and form. The design principles that guide how elements are organized are balance, emphasis, variety, movement, proportion, contrast, and unity. Without using both elements and principles, art and design cannot reach their full potential.
This document discusses the elements and principles of art as they relate to photography composition. The elements are line, shape/form, space, value, texture, and color. The principles are emphasis, balance, unity, contrast, movement/rhythm, and pattern/repetition. Using these elements and principles intentionally in photographic composition can create more visually interesting and powerful photographs that draw the viewer's eye and engage them.

Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey ...SirmaDuztepeliler
"Rethinking Kållered │ From Big Box to a Reuse Hub: A Transformation Journey Toward Sustainability"
The booklet of my master’s thesis at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. (Gothenburg, Sweden)
This thesis explores the transformation of the vacated (2023) IKEA store in Kållered, Sweden, into a "Reuse Hub" addressing various user types. The project aims to create a model for circular and sustainable economic practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, and a shift in societal overconsumption patterns.
Reuse, though crucial in the circular economy, is one of the least studied areas. Most materials with reuse potential, especially in the construction sector, are recycled (downcycled), causing a greater loss of resources and energy. My project addresses barriers to reuse, such as difficult access to materials, storage, and logistics issues.
Aims:
• Enhancing Access to Reclaimed Materials: Creating a hub for reclaimed construction materials for both institutional and individual needs.
• Promoting Circular Economy: Showcasing the potential and variety of reusable materials and how they can drive a circular economy.
• Fostering Community Engagement: Developing spaces for social interaction around reuse-focused stores and workshops.
• Raising Awareness: Transforming a former consumerist symbol into a center for circular practices.
Highlights:
• The project emphasizes cross-sector collaboration with producers and wholesalers to repurpose surplus materials before they enter the recycling phase.
• This project can serve as a prototype for reusing many idle commercial buildings in different scales and sizes.
• The findings indicate that transforming large vacant properties can support sustainable practices and present an economically attractive business model with high social returns at the same time.
• It highlights the potential of how sustainable practices in the construction sector can drive societal change.
1. LINE
is a mark on a surface that
describes a shape or outline. It
can create texture and can be
thick and thin. Types of line can
include actual, implied, vertical,
horizontal, diagonal and contour
lines. (note: Ken does not list
"psychic line" - that was "new
term" to me)

2. SHAPE (2D)
is a 2-dimensional line with
no form or thickness. Shapes
are flat and can be grouped
into two categories,
geometric and organic.
http://www.incredibleart.org/files/elements2.htm
3. FORM (3D)
is a 3-dimensional object
having volume and thickness.
It is the illusion of a 3-D effect
that can be implied with the
use of light and shading
techniques. Form can be
viewed from many angles.
http://www.incredibleart.org/files/elements2.htm
4. COLOR
refers to specific hues and has 3
properties, Chroma, Intensity and
Value. The color wheel is a way of
showing the chromatic scale in a circle
using all the colors made with the
primary triad. Complimentary pairs can
produce dull and neutral color. Black
and white can be added to produce tints
(add white), shades (add black) and
tones (add gray).

5. DEPTH (Perspective)
effects of depth, space, projection
toward the viewer add interest.
Linear perspective in the real world
makes things look smaller in the
distance. Some artists try to avoid
depth by making large things duller
and small things brighter, and so
on, to make the objects contradict
realism. Many artists don't believe
in realism even though they could
do it if they wanted to. It seems too
boring to them. Realism wouldn't
be art for some artists.

6. LIGHT
is a form of visual art
where main media of
expression is light
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_art
7. DIRECTION (Motion)
is a visual flow through the
composition. It can be the
suggestion of motion in a design
as you move from object to
object by way of placement and
position. Directional movement
can be created with a value
pattern. It is with the placement
of dark and light areas that you
can move your attention through
the format.

8. MASS (Visual Weight)
is a concept that describes how
much something in an image
“pulls” your eye to look at it.
Imagine that you have an
almost entirely white image
with a small black dot in it.
That black dot will pull your
eye immediately; it carries a lot
of visual weight.

9. TONE (black and white)
This refers to the
lightness or darkness of
something. This could
be a shade or how dark
or light a colour
appears.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/art/practicalities/elementsofart4.shtml
10. VALUE
is the degree of light and
dark in a design. It is the
contrast between black and
white and all the tones in
between. Value can be used
with color as well as black
and white. Contrast is the
extreme changes between
values.

theory-to-practice/formal-visual-analysis.aspx
11. SPACE (positive and negative)
Positive space is where
shapes and forms exist;
negative space is the empty
space around shapes and
forms. In the photo below
the black area is negative
space and it serves to balance
the area in which the
marmot and rock occupy.
Areas of a picture that
contain "nothing" are
important visual elements
that provide balance in an
image.

12. BALANCE
is a feeling of visual
equality in shape, form,
value, color, etc. Balance
can be symmetrical or
evenly balanced or
asymmetrical and un-
evenly balanced. Objects,
values, colors, textures,
shapes, forms, etc., can be
used in creating a balance
in a composition.
http://www.incredibleart.org/files/elements2.htm
13. EMPHASIS
say "Center of Interest."
It is about dominance and
influence. Most artists put
it a bit off center and
balance it with some
minor themes to maintain
our interest. Some artists
avoid emphasis on
purpose. They want all
parts of the work to be
equally interesting.
http://www.goshen.edu/art/ed/Compose.htm
14. PROPORTION (scale)
Proportion refers the size
relationship of visual
elements to each other
and to the whole picture.
One of the reasons
proportion is often
considered important in
composition is that
viewers respond to it
emotionally.
http://photoinf.com/General/Robert_Berdan/Composition_and_the_Elements_of_Visual
_Design.htm
15. REPETITION (Rhythm)
Rhythm refers to the regular repeating
occurrence of elements in the scene just as
in music it refers to the regular occurrence
of certain musical notes over time. In
photography the repetition of similar
shapes sets up a rhythm that makes seeing
easier and more enjoyable. Rhythm is
soothing and our eyes beg to follow
rhythmic patterns.
Differences in the height of the fence posts
add interest to an otherwise monotonic
rhythm.
The yellow marigold is balanced by the
negative space of the complimentary
colored blue sky.

16. UNITY When nothing distracts from
the whole, you have unity.
Unity without variation can be
uninteresting - like driving on a
clear day through Western
Kansas on the interstate. Unity
with diversity generally has
more to offer in both art and in
life. Of course some very
minimal art can be very
calming and at times even very
evocative. Even a simple
landscape can have a powerful
effect.
http://www.goshen.edu/art/ed/Compose.htm
17. CONTRAST
offers some change in
value creating a visual
discord in a composition.
Contrast shows the
difference between
shapes and can be used
as a background to bring
objects out and forward
in a design. It can also be
used to create an area of
emphasis.

18. HARMONY brings together a
composition with
similar units. If your
composition was using
wavy lines and organic
shapes you would stay
with those types of
lines and not put in just
one geometric shape.
(Notice how similar
Harmony is to Unity -
some sources list both
terms)http://www.incredibleart.org/files/elements2.htm
19. PROXIMITY Where items are placed in
relation to each other is
another important gestalt
consideration. Proximity
relationships will generally
dominate over similarity
relationships. The strongest
control is available when the
two are used together.
There are four specific types
of proximity relationships
that will be studied in this
lesson: close
edge, touch, overlap and
combining.http://daphne.palomar.edu/design/simnprox.html
20. VARIETY
You create variety when
elements are changed.
Repeating a similar shape but
changing the size can give
variety and unity at the same
time. Keeping the same size,
but changing the color can
also give variety and unity at
the same time. In visual
composition, there are many
ways you can change
something while
simultaneously keeping it the
same.
