Visual Arts Concepts
Elements of Art - Arts EALR 1.1.1
Line
Line quality/Expressive line - thick, thin, soft, crisp, feathery, bold, dashed, etc.
Line direction - straight, curved, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, spiraling, hatching,
cross-hatching, etc.
Descriptive line - contour, outline
Shape
Open shape/form - shape/form whose perimeter is broken so that space penetrates it
Closed shape/form - shape that completely encloses space, solid form
• Organic (irregular shapes, from nature) vs. geometric shapes (regular shapes with
math names, made according to rules of geometry, e.g. square, circle, triangle, etc.)
Shape (2-D) vs. form (3-D)
Value
• Black, grey, white - value scales (any number of even gradations between black and
white)
Tints (adding white) and shades (adding black) to colors
Color
Three properties of color - hue (name of color), value (lightness or darkness),
intensity (brightness or dullness)
Color wheel- primary, secondary, tertiary/intermediate colors
Warm (yellow, orange, red) vs. cool (blue, green, violet) colors
Complementary colors (colors directly opposite each other on the color wheel, e.g.
red/green)
Neutral colors (colors mixed with their complements)
Texture
Actual texture - what surface feels like, e.g. rough, smooth, bumpy, ridged
Implied texture - 2-D techniques (painting, drawing, printmaking) that suggest the
textures of our natural world: hair, velvet, fur, granite, bark, etc.
Pattern
Repetition of motifs (any shape that repeats)
Regular vs. irregular - stripes (bands), zigzags (chevrons), scallop (fish scale),
notched (crenellated), checkerboard (counterchange)
Mathematical patterns - fractals, tessellations
Principles of Organization - Arts EALR 1.1.2
Space
Positive space
Negative space
Compiled by Beverly Harding Buehler
6-31
•
Illusion of depth - overlapping, horizon line, perspective (I-point, 2-point, multiple
points), diminishing size, atmospheric perspective
Composition
Open vs. closed composition
Emphasis - focal point, dominance vs. subordination
Variety
• Unity
Balance
Formal balance (mirror symmetry, radial symmetry)
• Informal balance (asymmetry)
Skills and Techniques - Arts EALR 1.2
Drawing - gesture, contour, life, still life, landscape, portraiture
Painting - ink, watercolor, acrylic, oil
Printmaking - stamping, monoprints, relief prints (scratch foam, lino cut, woodcut),
silkscreen (serigraph), intaglio (etching with acid)
Sculpture - bas-relief (metal tooling, wood cut), in-the-round (free-standing sculpture)
Ceramics - hand-building (pinch pots, coil, slab), wheel-throwing
Textiles - weaving, quilting, dyeing, paper-making
New Media - digital photography, computer graphics
Styles - Arts EALR 1.3
Naturalism - observational drawing, rendering in light and shadow, cast shadows,
naturalistic proportions
Abstraction - simplification, exaggeration, altering space
Non-representation - subject has no reference to nature
Cultural styles - e.g. Australian Aboriginal dot painting, Northwest Coast Native
forrnline design, Islamic tessellated patterns, Celtic eternal knot designs, etc.
Historical art movements - e.g. Impressionism, Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, etc.
