Elements of Art
6th Grade visual arts Review
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the Elements of Art | They are the building blocks of art. |
| What is Line? | The path of a point moving through space. |
| How do you make a line? | You must put dots very close to one another until they become a line. |
| What is Shape? | Implies spatial form and is perceived as two dimensional; 2D or flat! |
| Examples of geometric shapes: | Square, triangle, circle, etc. |
| Examples of abstract/organic shapes: | Random blobs, wavy shapes, etc. |
| What is Form? | It has depth, length, and width and fills space; it is 3D! |
| Name two types of form. | Actual and Implied |
| Actual Form | You can physically walk around it and touch it. |
| Implied Form | The work appears to be 3D, but isn't literally 3D. (IMAX movies, street art, etc.) |
| What is Color? | What you see when light strikes an object and reflects back to the eye |
| Hue | the name of the color (ex: red, orange, yellow, etc.) |
| Intensity | the strength or vividness of a color; how bold or bright it is |
| Value | the lightness or darkness of a color |
| Primary Colors | the 3 main colors on the color wheel. These are the base colors for all other colors and cannot be made from any other color. (red, blue, yellow) |
| Secondary Colors | a color that results from mixing two primary colors together. (ex: orange, purple, green) |
| Complimentary Colors | Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel and when combined in the right proportions equal a white value tone. Very pleasing to the eye as a combination; sports teams often choose complimentary colors for their team colors. |
| Examples of complimentary colors | Yellow & Purple; Red & Green; Orange & Blue |
| Tertiary Colors | Colors that are made when mixing an equal amount of a primary color and a secondary color. Primary color must always be named first. (red-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, etc.) |
| Analogous Colors | A group of three colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. They are in the same "family". (red, red-orange, and orange) |
| Tint | A pale or lighter version of a color. To make a tint, you mix a color with white. (red + white = pink) |
| Shade | A darker version of a color. To make a shade, you mix a color with black. (blue + black = dark blue) |
| Warm Colors | Red, orange, and yellow |
| Cool Colors | Blue, purple, and green |
| Value | Refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. There are many different ways to show value in drawing. Shading/Blending, Hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling are all ways to show value. |
| Texture | Refers to the tactile (actual feeling) qualities of a surface or the visual representation of a surface (implied) |
| Space | Refers to the area in which art is organized. It represents a volume in an actual or implied 3-D way. |
| Actual Space | Is the space where you can physically walk around a form and touch the sides in a real life. |
| Implied Space | Is where the form appears 3-D, but isn't really 3-D in real life. (think: sidewalk art) |
