Visual Art and its elements

What is art ?
Elements of Art

Composition B cc
In the visual arts, in particular painting, graphic design, and photography and sculpture composition is the plan, placement or arrangement of elements or ingredients in an art work. Basically the term composition means 'putting together', any work of art from music to writing is arranged or put together using conscious thought. The various elements in the overall design usually relate to each other and to the whole art work (Dunstan, 1979). There are fundamentally two types of composition: informal, and the less frequently found formal or symmetrical. Composition is also related to artistic canon, for example, the draughting of a pleasing face. In graphic design and desktop publishing, composition is commonly referred to as page layout.

Line ng nt
A line is defined as a mark with length and direction, created by a point that moves across a surface. A line can vary in length, width, direction, curvature, and color. Line can be two-dimensional (a pencil line on paper), three-dimensional (wire), or implied.

Shape Mng
A flat figure created when actual or implied lines meet to surround a space. A change in color or shading can define a shape. Shapes can be divided into several types: geometric (square, triangle, circle) and organic (irregular in outline).

Geometric (square, triangle, circle)

Organic (irregular in outline)

Color
The perceived character of a surface according to the wavelength of light reflected from it. Color has three dimensions: HUE (indicated by its name such as red or yellow), VALUE (its lightness or darkness), INTENSITY (its purity or saturation). * Primary colors: red, yellow and blue * Secondary colors: orange, green and purple

Value is often the single most important element in paintings and drawings that allow us to see forms. In other words, it is value and the changing values in pictures that make us see not just shapes, but 3-D looking forms...Implied Forms.

Texture To cht
The way a surface feels (actual texture) or how it may look (implied texture). Texture can be sensed by touch and sight. Textures are described by word such as rough, silky, or pebbly.
