0 THE FIVE ART ELEMENTS AND SPACE

Line

When dot are being draw there create line. It actually exists in nature or in the third
dimension. Lines provoke the freestyles into shapes, texture, value, and colour. By lines it
creates the form of the two dimensions and three dimensions. It acts as a graphic device
used to indicate the meeting of planes or the outer edges of shapes. Space is dependent on
line to be articulated as mention below:
Hatches: Crosshatching assimilating diagonal or vertical or horizontal line, contour
hatching a curve line.
Loose and Close lines: It gives the form to create the illusion of depth.
Convergence: Meaning of lines of a vanishing point. Achieve a sensation of interval
between two or more objects through diminishing or enlarging sizes.

One of the uses of line:

More on the Fundamentals of Perspective: An artist places him or herself before the
subject and imagines a space in front, which is in exact proportion to the size of his or her
drawing paper, which in term of perspective. As we generally know that when come to
Perspective a lot of line to be drawn. The line is used in Perspective is to dividing the
space to create depth.

Colour

Playing different colours can create different atmospheric and emotional effects. Each
colour represents the characteristic of the personality, simple form of communications
and symbols. Colours have it own concept and form:

Primary Colours: which are hues from other colour can be made; Red, Yellow and Blue.
This colour are the basically use by artist.
Secondary Colour: are made from mixing equal part of the primary colour; orange, green
and violet.
Complementary colour: colour that is opposite each other on the colours; red-green,
orange-blue, yellow-violet
Analogous colours: colours that are adjacent to each other on the colours wheel.
Monochromatic colours: variation in value of one colour by adding either white to make
tints or black to make shadow.
Tints: made when white is added to a pure hue to make light values.

By this colours structure it can create space in depth and distance for example like in the
foreground, mid ground and background that mention at above.
Shape

Shape involve in the conventional of linear perspective. This touch mainly on perspective
structure to manipulating the size of shapes, whether by minimizing or enlarging, to
produce the effect of space between objects. These mean that the object nearer to us looks
larger and the further look smaller. It also implies the totality of the mass or volume lying
between its contours, including any projections and depressions. To create good art work
on shape may goes for the manipulating of overlapping shapes and with odd angle. This
may also emphasis on two dimensions and three dimensions.

Texture

Enrich of a surface, complement the medium, and enhance expression and content. It can
either be replicated or fabricated or invented unto a artwork. The different degrees of the
extrication and itemization of texture could be attributed to the illusion of space.
Actually, texture can have the plastic function of describing the depth position of surface.
It created the speaking, sharp, clear, and bold texture advance, while fuzzy, dull and
minuscule texture recede. When modified through varied use of value, colour and line,
texture significantly contributes to the total pictorial unity.

Value

Value is to indictor the brightness and darkness by varying the tones. Value is the
quantity of light actually reflected by an object’s surface. The value is created as a sense
of volume and mass is simulated and the object seems to be unattached and separated
from the background. It also enhances the depth through darker or lighter tones for
shallowness or deepness and it gives a sense of realty to a painting.
