Line
• Extension of a point• Write, draw, plan and play with lines• Visual means of communication• Line in 3-D? • In art and nature – lines as paths of action

Shape
• Refer to the expanse within the outline of a 2-D area or within the outer boundaries of a 3-D object
• 3-D object – mass, volume– Object is silhouetted – only as a flat shape

Time and Motion
• Nonspatial continuum• The fourth dimension, in which events occur
in succession• Although time itself is invisible, it can be made
perceptible in art• Become major elements in visual media such
as film, video, and kinetic sculpture
![Page 9: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 10: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Light
• Everything we see is made visible by the radiant energy we call light
• As light changes, surfaces illuminated by it also appear to change
![Page 11: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Color
• Component of light• Affects us directly by modifying our thoughts,
moods, actions, and even our health• Colors can affect work habits and mental
conditions• People exposed to red and orange• Some blues have calming effect
![Page 14: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Color• The physics of color– Affect on our eyes of light waves of differing
wavelengths or frequencies– When combined, these light waves make white– Color exists only in light, but light itself seems
colorless to the human eye
![Page 15: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Color
• Hue – refers to a particular wavelegth to which we give a name aka the color wheel
• Value – from light to dark• Intensity/saturation – purity of a hue or color;
pure hue is the most intense form of a given color; hue at its highest saturation
![Page 16: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Texture
• Refers to the tactile qualities of surfaces or to visual representation of those qualities
• Actual texture – feel by touching• Simulated (implied) – created to look like
something other than paint on a flat surface
![Page 18: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Principles of Design
![Page 20: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Unity & Variety
• Appearance or condition of oneness
• Feeling that all elements in a work belong together and make a whole
• When a work of art has unity, we feel that any change could diminish it’s quality
• Diversity; variety counters unity
• Balance between the two creates life
• Visual themes – balance unity, lines, shapes colors

Balance
• Visual experience and structural necessity• Achievement of equilibrium; influences held in
check by opposing forces• Symmetrical balance vs. asymmetrical balance
![Page 24: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Balance - Symmetrical
• Near or exact matching of left or right sides of both 2-D or 3-D design or structure
• Greatly used in architecture
![Page 25: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Asymmetrical
• Left and right sides are not the same. • However, various elements are balanced
according to size and meaning
![Page 27: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Emphasis & Subordination
• Draw our attention to a specific spot; “Focal point”
• Position, contrast, color intensity, size
• Creates neutral areas of lesser interest that keeps us from being distracted from the areas of emphasis
![Page 30: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Directional Forces
• Paths for our eye• ( l ) = standing still• ( - ) = at rest• ( / ) = in motion
![Page 31: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Contrast
• Juxtaposition of strongly dissimilar elements– Dark vs. light– Large vs. small– Bright vs. dull
• Without contrast, visual experience would be monotonous
![Page 33: Week 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162af550346895dd3335b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
