Different elements of visual art

1. LINE,
Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, Curved Zigzag

Activity 1

What are the different lines?

Draw / Sketch anything that shows the different kinds of lines.

Sample: Create your own.

A. Regular shapes
Equilateral triangles, squares, regular pentagons, regular hexagons, regular heptagons, regular octagons,
regular decagons, and regular dodecagons
B. ORGANIC SHAPES D. Negative Shapes
These are free-form shapes It is the space around the
positive shape
They seem not to follow rules. E. Static Shape
Figures that have a natural look It appears stable and resting.
F. Dynamic Shape
and a flowing curving appearance It appears as if moving and
C. Positive Shapes active.

It is the solid forms in the design.

Occupy positive space
(The positive space is masked by black.

Activity 2
What are the different shapes?
Draw/Sketch any art subject that shows
the different shapes.
Sample: Create your own

3. FORM

Has always three dimensions; length, width and height.

A. Cube a regular solid of six equal sides.

B. Cylinder – A surface traced by a straight line moving parallel to a fixed

straight line and intersecting a fixed planar closed curve.

C. Cone – a solid generated by rotating a right triangle about one of its legs

D. Sphere – a round solid figure or its surface with every point on its surface

equidistant from its center.

Activity 3
Another element of art is form.
FORM
Has always three dimensions; length, width and height
Sample: Create your own.

4. SPACE
It is the creation of visual perspective; this gives the illusion of depth.
It can also mean the way an artist uses the area within the picture plane.
Real space is actually three-dimensional
a. Open and closed space
In a painting, if the viewer’s eyes are led off the canvas, the
space is open, or the painting has an open frame.

If the viewer’s eyes are kept in the center of the canvas and all the characters and action are within the edges
of the frame the artist has composed a closed space or closed frame.
2. Positive and Negative

All positive space, no room between them.

Lots of negative space employed to create tension, dynamic embrace

Activity 4
Space
It is the creation of visual perspective;
this gives the illusion of depth.
It can also mean the way an artist uses Close Space
the area within the picture plane.
Show in your artwork open and close space.
Sample is given. Create your own

Open Space

5. COLOR
Has three characteristics, which are hue, value and intensity

a. Hue – means the shades ( red, yellow or pink) Hue is the name given to a color,

such as yellow, green, red, orange, blue, or purple.

b. Value – When we talk about how light or dark a color is,

we’re talking about value. Value is a way to describe the

overall lightness or darkness of a color.

c. Intensity- refers to the brightness or dullness of the work of art.

Intensity is a property of a color in relation to how pure it is

Chroma refers to the strength or saturation of a color. It describes the color intensity, or how pure it is.

Pure colors at maximum chroma, or a high chroma color, have no white or black in them, making them bright

colors. It can also be thought of as the strength or dominance of a given color.

Lower chromas fall into the pastel category – think the diffuse, airy colors used around springtime
and Easter.
Colors with higher chromas are more saturated. These feel much bolder and more intense.

Activity 5

Colors have three characteristics. One of them is HUE. –

Hue – means the shades

Draw any art subject using any HUE colors.

Activity 6
Colors have three characteristics. One of them is value.

Value – refers to the lightness or the darkness

Create an artwork showing value of colors

Sample: Create your own.

Activity 7
Colors have three characteristics, One of them is intensity.

Intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of the work of art.

Sample: Create your own.

6. VALUE

Refers to the changes in the base color.

__

Value is one of the elements of art that dictates how light or dark a color appears.

The value of art refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Every color has a value between white and black, and

every shade can be arranged on a gradient value scale. The values of a color are often visualized in a gradient, which

displays a series of variations on one hue, arranged from the lightest to the darkest. The scale begins at the lightest

possible value (white, which has the lightest value) and ends with the darkest value (black, which has the darkest

value); between these two extremes of the scale are shades of grey that gradually become darker.

Types of Value in Art

Colors of different value in art interact with each other to create different effects that can change the mood or

depth of your painting. Here are some types of value in art.

High key: High key colors contain the most white and are on the palest end of the gradient scale.

Low key: Low key colors contain the most black, and are on the darker end of the gradient scale.

High contrast: When two colors have opposite values, such as very dark and very light blue, they are considered
high contrast.

Low contrast: When two colors have values that are only slightly different from one another, they are

considered low contrast.

RE
The quality
of a surface
or the way any work of art is represented.
Also refers to the way a picture is made to look rough or smooth.

Texture in art and composition is the visual and tactile surface characteristics that are added to a
work of art. It refers to the physical appearance or feel of an object, and can be seen through bumps,
ridges, grooves and other physical details.

Texture can also refer to the illusion of physicality it creates by adding depth to a painting or
sculpture. It is used by artists to add interest, dimension and drama to their artwork. It can be
achieved with different materials like paint, paper, metal and clay, or everyday objects like fabric or
foliage.

Textures can also be implied through brushstrokes, lines, patterns and colors. When used correctly it will
draw attention to certain elements in an artwork while evoking emotion from the viewer.
 Gritty Texture
Gritty texture in art is a type of medium-to-heavy textural effect created by the use of coarse brushes, palette knives or

other tools. It can be used to create rough, uneven surfaces that add depth and dimension to artwork.

Masato and I Visit the Ise Grand Shrine” (2021) by Kazumi Kamae

Smooth Texture Smooth texture in art is created by using tools such as a brush, roller or

sponge to create a flat, uniform surface.

Stippled Texture

Stippled texture is created by applying many small dots of different shades and tones to a surface
Drybrush Texture
Drybrush texture is created by
lightly dragging a dry paint brush
over the surface of the artwork.
This technique can be used to
create a broken, textured look that
adds special effects to a painting or
drawing.

Impasto textures can be created with a variety of

materials, such as heavy body acrylics, oil paints and

gels. An impasto texture typically stands out

from the canvas, creating a raised effect that

adds depth to artwork. Here it is used to create a

snow effect that also creates a sense of scale to the

skiing subjects.
Faux Texture
Faux texture is an art technique that uses different materials, such as sponging and glazing, to mimic the effect
of natural elements. It is a great way to create interesting textures without having to use expensive or difficult-
to-find materials. This is common in interior design and architecture.

Activity 8

made to look rough or smooth
