The Elements of Art- Shape and Form
A shape is created when a line is enclosed. Shape is one of the seven elements of art and it has a variety of uses in the creation of art. Shape is a two-dimensional area that is defined by a change in value or some other form of contrast. All shapes are two-dimensional, meaning that they have only length and width. All shapes will fall into one of two categories. Organic or freeform shapes are shapes that seem to follow no rules. We can learn to see the world around us as shapes. Shapes defined by objects are positive shapes (space). The relationships between the positive and negative shapes help the brain of our viewers understand what they are seeing. By organizing geometric and organic shapes, we can draw anything. Terms Shape- an element of art that is a two-dimensional area that is defined in some way. Geometric shapes- precise shapes that can be described using mathematical formulas. Freeform Shapes- also called organic shapes, are irregular and uneven shapes.
Visual Design Basics
Visual design focuses on the aesthetics of a site and its related materials by strategically implementing images, colors, fonts, and other elements. A successful visual design does not take away from the content on the page or function. Instead, it enhances it by engaging users and helping to build trust and interest in the brand. Basic Elements of Visual Design The basic elements that combine to create visual designs include the following: Lines connect two points and can be used to help define shapes, make divisions, and create textures. Principles for Creating a Visual Design A successful visual design applies the following principles to elements noted above and effectively brings them together in a way that makes sense. Unity has to do with all elements on a page visually or conceptually appearing to belong together. Example of Pulling it all together Additional Information
The Visual Elements of Art
The Visual Elements - Pattern PAUL KLEE (1879-1940) Dream City, 1921 (warercolor and oil) Pattern is made by repeating or echoing the elements of an artwork to communicate a sense of balance, harmony, contrast, rhythm or movement. There are two basic types of pattern in art: Natural Pattern and Man-Made Pattern. Natural Pattern: Pattern in art is often based on the inspiration we get from observing the natural patterns that occur in nature. Man-Made Pattern: Pattern in art is used for both structural and decorative purposes. Examples of the use of Pattern in Art Pattern Click here for our selection of great artworks that have been chosen because they all use pattern in an inspirational manner.
Understanding Formal Analysis
The principles of design describe the ways that artists use the elements of art in a work of art. Below are a few examples of principles of design, which are illustrated in works of art in the Museum's collection. Learn about the elements of art here. Download a student handout containing a list of the principles of design and their definitions. (PDF, 190KB) Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, textures, and space. Symmetrical balance conveys a sense of stability. Asymmetrical balance often conveys a sense of movement since the elements of the composition are unbalanced. Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer's attention. In this sculpture, the central figure stands out due to his relative size and position above the other figures. Movement is the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. In this photograph the diagonal lines lead the eye into the space to the point where the lines converge.
The Principles of Design
The web professional's online magazine of choice. In: Columns > Design in Theory and Practice By Joshua David McClurg-Genevese Published on June 13, 2005 Starting with the Basics This column is about Web design—really, it is—though it may at times seem a bit distant and distracted. We can group all of the basic tenets of design into two categories: principles and elements. Web design is a relatively new profession compared to other forms of design, due to the youth of our medium. How Does Web Design Fit In? I tend to define Web design as being one of many disciplines within the larger field of design (a peer to print design, industrial design, interior design, etc.). The first three articles of this column will be dedicated to unearthing these universal gems of insight so that we may better understand our profession. The Principles of Design There are many basic concepts that underly the field of design. Let’s begin by focusing on the principles of design, the axioms of our profession. Rhythm
Understanding Formal Analysis
Discover how to analyze the formal aspects of a work of art by learning about the elements of art and principles of design that are used by artists working in various media. Students who can identify the elements and principles and evaluate their role in the composition of a work of art will be better able to understand an artist's choices. They will be equipped to address whether a work of art is successful, and why. The list below describes each element of art. Learn about the principles of design here. Elements of Art The elements of art are components or parts of a work of art that can be isolated and defined. Download a student handout containing a list of the elements of art and their definitions. Line A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. Horizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose because objects parallel to the earth are at rest. Horizontal and vertical lines used in combination communicate stability and solidity.
