Art can be defined as a visual representation that communicates an idea, feeling, or design. It is created by artists who use their imagination and skills to express themselves visually. Applied art refers to functional objects that are also visually pleasing. An artist's perception and understanding of elements like line, color, shape, form, space, and texture allow them to interpret the world around them and incorporate these fundamentals into their work. Principles of design such as balance, emphasis, contrast, repetition, and unity are used by artists to organize the elements and create a sense of completeness or movement within a work of art.
This PowerPoint helps students to consider the concept of infinity.

by a moving point.

9. LineLines can be described as
having/being
length and width
short/long,

•Intensity (brightness)
•Value (lightness or darkness).
Henri Matisse

• HueHue : name for the color
• Intensity:Intensity: brightness or dullness of a hue.
• Bright pure hues are called high-intensityhigh-intensity colors
• Dull hues are called low-intensitylow-intensity colors.
• ValueValue :: lightness or darkness of a hue.
• When white is added to a hue the result is a tint.tint.

14. Color
Primary colors are basic
colors that can not be
obtained by mixing. They
are red, yellow, and blue.
Secondary colors: are
obtained by mixing
primary colors. They are
orange, green, and purple.
Tertiary or Intermediate
Colors: in between
primary and secondary
colors on the color wheel,
have more of a primary
color in them. They are:
red-orange, yellow-green,
blue-green etc.

The color wheel is a tool
to help you organize
colors, mix colors and
compare colors.
Colors across from each
other on the wheel are
complementary
colors.
Colors next to each
other within the same
family are analogous
colors.

visual elements of

that artists use to convey

21. The distance or area between, around, above, below, or within
things.
Linear perspective- the lines of
buildings roads and similar objects
are slanted to make them appear
to come together or meet in the
distance.
Size- objects in the foreground
(front) are made bigger than
objects in the background.
Overlapping- nearer shapes and
forms overlap or partly cover those
meant to appear farther away.
Placement- distant objects are
placed higher up in the picture.
Foreground, Middle ground and
Background (creates DEPTH)
La Rue de la Bavolle in Honfleur by Claude
Monet.
Space
22. Space
Positive space filled with something
Negative empty spaces between the shapes or forms
in two and three dimensional art.
Intensity and value- the colors of objects meant to
appear in the distance are lower in intensity than
those of objects meant to appear nearer. They are also
lighter in value.
Detail- more detail is added to closer objects and less
detail is added to those in the distance
