Transcript of In art, it is the use or purpose in an artwork. function.
In art, it is the use or purpose in an artwork.
function
The aesthetic value in an artwork.
Form (as opposed to function)
To create an image from a realistic subject altering the subject to appear less realistic.
Ex. Could be, but not limited to: Stretching, pinching, re-scaling, re-distributing proportions, zooming
in/out, texturizing, minimizing detail, changing line or shape quality, etc.
abstraction
A painting or drawing of inanimate objects.
Still-life
Are the seven basic building blocks of visual art.
Design Elements
LINESHAPECOLORVALUE
TEXTURESPACEFORM
Design Elements
A mark. Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and
can show emotion in an artwork.
Line
When line curves or corners around and crosses over itself it becomes a shape. Shapes are either geometric or organic.
Shape
Color has three main properties:1. Hue
2. Value3. Intensity
Color
Is the name of a specific color.
Hue
The lightness or darkness of a hue.
Value
The quality of a surface: Smooth, rough, bumpy, hairy, etc.
Texture
The physical quality of a surface that you can actually feel:
Plastic is smooth, my cat is furry, a rock wall is bumpy.
Actual Texture
An illusion of the quality of a surface. Using drawing, painting and layering techniques to create the appearance of texture in an
artwork.
Implied Texture
The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks.
Around, above, inside, outside, help describe space
Space
In 3D artworks it is the quality of the shape. Ex. Cubes, spheres and cones
Form
Are the guidelines to assist in organizing the elements in a work of art.

UnityBalance
Design Principles
Where an artist draws attention to one or more parts of a design.
Emphasis
The differences in any element in a work of art give it variety.
Ex: A variety of shape sizes or a variety of the same hue
Variety
The path the viewer’s eye is directed to take by the artist’s choice of elements such as
line.
Movement
The relationships of size in artworks in relation to how they are normally viewed.
Ex. A perfectly drawn person in proportion or a perfectly drawn person with an tiny head
Proportion – aka – Scale
A large difference between elements. Green and Red, dark and light, large and small,
thin and thick, bright and dull.
Contrast
A sense that all of the parts belong together as one piece of artwork.
Unity
An appearance of evenness in an artwork. There are two kinds: Symmetry &
Asymmetry
Balance
In composition it is an arrangement of elements using order or disorder.
Symmetry
A composition with identical or similar elements arranged on both the right and
left halves of an image.
Vertical symmetry
A composition with identical or similar elements arranged on both the top and
bottom halves of an image.
Horizontal symmetry
A composition with a center point from which the arrangement of elements radiate around in a
circular format.
Imagine:Cut a piece of “pie” out of an empty circle. Create a
design on the piece of pie.Repeat the pie piece to finish off the “pie.”
Radial symmetry
Radial symmetry
A composition with a heavy and light amount of elements. Asymmetry uses disorder to create
balance.
Asymmetry
The technique of marking over sketch lines to create a final and permanent drawing.
The medium can be: pen, marker, burnished colored pencil, etc.
Inking
The differences between elements in a single artwork create variety.
Variety
Creating value in an artwork that alludes to dimension, placement, texture, etc.
Shading
A smooth and gradual change in value.
Color to color, light to dark, busy to sparse, etc.
Gradation
A coloring agent bonded with wax, oil, chalk, or water based medium.
Pigment
The type of material used to create a piece of artwork.
Medium
GET OUT:Vocabulary Inventory
DO NOT Sign out a laptopTicket Question #4:
Please describe a complimentary color scheme.
Line or shape that has a rigid or mathematically correct path and is not
free flowing.
Ex. A Bookcase, a zigzag line, or a lampshade.
Geometric
Line or shape that has a natural or imperfect path rather than a rigid or geometric path.
Ex. A flower petal, squiggly line, or a curtain.
Organic
A storage place for artwork that can also be used as a mode of transportation for
artwork.
Portfolio
A place to compile notes, sketches, preliminary ideas etc.
Sketchbook
The execution of detail, organization and care that can be visually evaluated in an artwork.
Craftsmanship
Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and
can show emotion in an artwork.
Line
When line curves or corners around and crosses over itself it becomes a shape. Shapes are either geometric or organic.
Shape
A critical review of artwork.
Critique
A Formal location to showcase a group of artwork by one artist or a selection artists.
Gallery
A 3D artwork from which all elements project from a flat surface.
relief
A 3D artwork that can be viewed from all sides
In-the-round
The art and science of color interaction and effects.
Color Theory
Colors from which all other colors can be made from.
Subtractive Primaries are: Red, Blue and Yellow.
Primary
Colors made from mixing two primaries together.
Subtractive Secondary colors are: Violet, Green, and Orange.
Secondary
Colors made from combining one primary and the adjacent secondary.
Subtractive Tertiary colors are: Red Violet, Blue Violet, Yellow Green, Blue Green, Red
Orange, and Yellow Orange.
Tertiary
A color that is neither warm nor cool and is a result of two compliments being mixed.
Ex: Light brown, Navy green, French grey, Brown
Neutral
Using a specific combination of colors based on color theory in a piece of artwork.
Color Scheme
Colors that evoke a warm feeling, emotion or mood. Occupy ½ of the color wheel.
Ex. Red Violet, Red, Red Orange, and Yellow Orange.
Warm Colors
Colors that evoke a cool or cold, feeling, emotion or mood. Occupies ½ of the color
wheel.ex. Blue Violet, Yellow Green, Blue Green,
Navy Green
Cool Colors
A color scheme using hues opposite each other on the color wheel.
These colors will vibrate visually.
Ex: Red & GreenRed-orange & Blue-green
Complimentary
A color scheme using a hue and the hue(s) next to its compliment.
Ex: Red & Blue-green and/or Yellow-green
or Red-orange & Blue and/or Green
Split Complimentary
A color scheme that uses only one hue. From that hue variations are made: tints,
shades, tones, etc.Ex. Red, Pink, Plum, magenta, Light Red
Orange, Burgundy.
Monochromatic
A color scheme utilizing colors that share a common primary color, located next to
each other on the color wheel.Ex: Aqua, Light Blue, Light Red Violet,
Prussian Blue
Analogous
A color scheme using an equilateral Triangle to locate three hues equidistant from each
other on the color wheel.Ex: Violet, Green, Orange
Or Blue-green, Yellow-orange, Red-violet
Triadic
Adding white to a hue to create a lighter value of that hue.
Tint
Adding Black to a hue to create a darker value of that hue.
Shade
