Line is a mark made using a drawing tool or brush. Line is the path of a moving point through space. Lines are basic tools for artists. Line is a one-dimensional figure, which has length but no width. Line may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.

 (^) Color is defined by hue, value, and intensity. It is the range of visual light in the spectrum and properties of the pigments used in making visual art.  (^) Color is what we see because of reflected light. Light contains different wavelengths of energy that our eyes and brain "see" as different colors. When light hits an object, we see the colored light that reflects off the object.

 (^) Hue is the name given to different wave lengths of light from the visual spectrum. Hue is the name of the color.  (^) Value is the degree of lightness or darkness. (a color’s value changes when white or black is added)  (^) Intensity is the amount of pigment or saturation. The bright a color the more pigment it contains. (high intensity= color is strong and bright; low intensity= color is faint and dull).

Example of ColorsExample of Colors

Red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors. With paints of just these three colors, artists can mix them to create all the other colors. When artists mix pigments of the primary colors, they make secondary colors.

Red + Blue = Purple

Red + Yellow = Orange

Blue + Yellow = Green

TriviaTrivia

● Did you know that your computer screen also works by using three primary colors? But here, since the colors are light from the monitor and not paints, the three primaries are not the same. Instead, your computer screen mixes other colors from red, blue, and green.

 (^) Textures is an element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched. Texture refers to what the surface feels like, the tactile sense, as well as the representation of texture. Can be rough, smooth.  (^) Texture is the look and feel of a surface. Painters have many ways to create different textures. They use different sized and shaped brushes: everything from tiny pointed brushes to flat, wide brushes. They can also use other tools—special knives, sponges, even fingers—to put paint on

What are some ways that artists create texture?

What are some ways that artists ● (^) They brush paint on in watery strokes and thick drips. create texture? ● (^) They put paint down in short, fat dabs and long, sleek strokes. ● (^) They twirl their brushes to make circles and curls. ● (^) They apply paint in thick layers that stick out from the canvas. ● (^) They put different colors on top of each other. ● (^) They mix in sand, dirt, or other materials into the paint. ● (^) They add white highlights to make things look shiny. ● (^) They scratch through paint to show colors underneath.

There are several different types of

perspective:

There are several different types of

perspective:

 (^) Aerial perspective is a “bird’s view,” seen from above high angle.  (^) Atmospheric perspective gives the illusion of a great distance in the background of the image.  (^) Linear perspective or one-point is also referred to as one- point perspective. This perspective leads the eyes to a vanishing point that disappears deep into the image. The lines leading to the vanishing point created by the rails are called orthogonal.  (^) Two-point perspective for a horizon line.

 (^) Volume is the representation of mass in an art work or a sculpture. The three dimensional form of an object or shape is said to have volume.  (^) Volume (three-dimensionality) can be simulated in a two-dimensional work (like a drawing) thanks to the use of light and shadows, perspective, etc.

● Artists use all kinds of shapes. Geometric shapes are precise and regular, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. They are often found in human-made things, like building and machines while biomorphic shapes are found in nature. These shapes may look like leaves, flowers, clouds—things that grow, flow, and move. The term biomorphic means: life-form (bio=life and morph= form). Biomorphic shapes are often rounded and irregular, unlike most geometric shapes.
