Post-Test Review6th Grade
ELEMENTS OF DESIGN are:• Line• Shape• Color• Value• Texture• Space• Form
LINE• A mark made on a surface that
has length and direction.
SHAPE
• A two-dimensional enclosed area, or object.
SHAPE
ORGANIC
GEOMETRIC
SHAPES
• BLOCK LETTERS & NUMBERS ARE SHAPES.
• CURSIVE LETTERS ARE LINES
COLOR• The quality of light
reflected from an object, and not absorbed.
• Isaac Newton discovered that white light (from the sun), when refracted through a prism, would break up into it’s separate colors (ROY G BIV).
COLOR WHEELColors are divided into
groups or “schemes”.• Primary• Secondary• Tertiary/Intermediate• Complementary• Analogous• Warm /Cool
PRIMARY COLORS CANNOT BE MADE FROM OTHER COLORS
Secondary colors can be created BY mixing primary colors.
Tertiary Colors A tertiary color
is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color.
Complementary colors are colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, red and green, violet and yellow.

Analogous Colors Are next to each other on the color
wheel.
VALUE
• THE LIGHTNESS OR DARKNESS OF A COLOR.
VALUETINTS: Color mixed with white SHADES: Color mixed with black
TEXTURE
• The tactile quality of a surface. It can be actual or implied.
TEXTURE
ACTUAL TEXTURE
IMPLIED TEXTURE
SPACE
• The illusion of depth & distance.
POSITIVE / NEGATIVE SPACE
THE AIRPLANE IS NEGATIVE
THE TREE IS POSITIVE
SPACE
• The cut outs are negative and the left over dough is positive.
SPACE
FOREGROUND- Objects larger and warmer in color.
MIDDLEGROUND- Objects get smaller
BACKGROUND- Colors get cooler & objects get blurrier
ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE
FORM
• Three-dimensional shapes or objects. • Form can be implied or actual. • Value is used to create form in painting and
drawing.
CONTOUR LINE VS. FORM
REALISM VS. ABSTRACT
This one has form This one has shape
SCULPTURE
An ARMATURE is:• The skeleton that
supports the material by which the sculpture is made (i.e. clay, paper mache, etc.)
The Principles of Design • …are the rules by which we use
the ELEMENTS.• The recipe or guidelines on how
to use the elements of design.
The Principles are:• Balance• Contrast• Emphasis• Rhythm
• Movement• Proportion• Unity• Pattern
BALANCEBalance is a feeling of equality
or stability in a piece of artwork. There are three types:
1.Symmetrical2.Asymmetrical3.Radial
SYMMETRICAL & RADIAL
CONTRAST• … is achieved by using
opposite elements in an artwork to create interest.
RHYTHM
• Rhythm is created when similar elements repeat, creating a sense of movement. Repeating elements do NOT have to be exactly alike.
THIS CAN ALSO BE UNITY!
MOVEMENT• …is the way the human eye
travels through an artwork in a particular direction.
UNITY• .. is when SIMILAR elements
work together to create harmony (mood or theme).
EMPHASIS• … is the focal point in an
artwork, or the most important part.
PROPORTION• … is the comparative relationship of one
part to another, such as the size, amounts, or number of elements in an artwork.
PATTERN• Created when identical elements
repeat sequentially.
