Elements of art and principles of design

\
Line 

Line  Line    Line  
Line- Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

i chose this painting because of the way the lines are strong and they create a person showing some kind of betrayal.
I chose this photo because of how the lines are everywhere and the kind of look like they are spiral.



shape- Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

I chose this painting because of how the shaped rectangles are shown in the pictures and how they stand out.


I chose this picture because i see how the circles are shown in a row and the shape gives the picture a different feel.


Color- Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
I chose this painting because of the way the colors go and blend together and they make the picture unique.

i chose this picture because of how in one side the colors are soft and in the other they are stronger.



Value (Tone)-Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.
   i chose this painting because the way the way the tone goes from darker to lighter in some parts.

                          I chose this picture because of how it goes from lighter to a stronger color.



Form- Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
                   I chose this because of how the form of the ball is shown in the painting.

             I chose this picture because of how the form of the eye and eyelid are standing out.



Texture- Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
       I chose this painting because of how the texture in the painting is shown and it shows detail.
                              I chose this picture because of all the details and texture it shows.

Space-Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. 
I chose this painting because it shows how there so much distance thats emitting from the painting and it looks very open.
I chose this picture because of the dark color it gives off and it loos very opens with space.





Balance-is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

           I chose this painting because in both side it shoes people talking and joking around and it balances out.
   I chose this picture because of how the reflection shows in the water and it shows the exact same thing. 




Contrast-is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

I chose this painting because of who the light colors contrast with the dark strong colors making the painting stand out.
this picture is showing all different kinds of colors contrasting with each other, some are darker than the other colors.



Emphasis-in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.
 the painting emphasis the water and the broken land so the views can see whats happening and the it focuses on the people that are on the art.
The picture emphasis  on the big bright orange tree that look alive and well then it focuses on the rest of the dull trees that surround it.



Movement-in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement 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.



   the painting shows the shapes and different color that it creates and it flows in background with the blue.





Pattern- are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.  


           The painting shows the squares that create a pattern that goes from black and white. 


In the picture the pattern show the shapes going straight up while the others lay down and it continues doing the same thing.


Rhythm-is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.


   The painting shows how the shapes and the forms repeat and create a cycle that repeats again and again. it has a rhythm.

                    the pictures shows the colors creating a rhythm and it also shows the shapes of circles.








Unity-means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.
     i chose this painting because  shows how the elements don't change and it keeps it constant.


     I chose this picture because of how the shape stays constant and it doesn't change and it has unity.
