FORM – ELEMENTS
of ART
(20 pts)
The length and thickness of lines in this artwork are varied
Line because it is abstract. There is no proper measurement but the
direction of the lines is against each other to form a branches-like
figure.
This artwork is two dimensional painting. There are few that has
Shape a geometric like figure but not completely just like the sun on the
upper right of the painting.
There are no form in this genre of art because it is only a 2D
Form painting and it has no depth.

The upper mid of my artwork is can be called a negative space as

Space it is no paint and it depicts the clear sky while in the lower mid
and side is a positive space as it contain my artwork.
The hue of this artwork is only two, the red and blue color, this
Color color also a primary colors. The value of the color in darker than
usual as it mix up in my artwork. The intensity is vibrant but
dark in color.
The texture of this artwork is real and it because of the thickness
Texture and strokes that create this kind of texture, although it cant be
seen but if you touch it, you can find an uneven distribution of
strokes and acrylics.

FORM – Principles of
Design (25 pts)
There are parts that it is symmetrical and other parts are
Balance asymmetrical. The branches on both side are symmetrical as it
has both branches each side while there are only one sun and that
it makes asymmetrical.
The proportion of the color is fairly equal and in the scale of the
Scale and Proportion branches compared to sun is a bit of exaggeration. The proportion
of putting a subject in the artwork is pretty much even.
The mix of colors emphasizes on its own and the branches lines
Emphasis and Contrast emphasize itself and also the contrast of color when they mix is
very strong.
The unity of the color that has been mix is according to what I
Unity and Variety imagine and the difference of colors makes it complete and of
course the subject that I create to make it depict with some sense.
The harmony of this artwork shows in how it became a scenery
Harmony of land, tree branches and sun. Color also has a big contribution
to harmonize he meaning of this artwork.
The movement of this artwork is very simple, I always want to do
Movement art freely with no restriction so I created this artwork that shows a
freedom of movement.
The repetition of this artwork is the strokes came from using a
Repetition and Pattern card board to mixed the colors and blend , also the pattern of the
branches that is against to each other.
