Brief Summary
This video provides an overview of the elements of art, which are the fundamental building blocks used in creating artworks. It covers line, shape, space, value, color, texture, and perspective, explaining their properties and how they are used to create different effects. The video also includes activities to test understanding and apply the concepts learned.
- Elements of art are the building blocks of an artwork.
- The elements discussed are line, shape, space, value, color, texture, and perspective.
- Activities are included to apply the concepts learned.
The video introduces the topic of art elements for the first quarter, module one. The objectives are to identify elements of art in various art movements, appreciate these elements, and create artwork using principles of design based on examples.
The elements of art are described as the building blocks used by artists, while the principles of design dictate how these elements are arranged. The principles of design include contrast, rhythm, proportion, balance, unity, emphasis, movement, and variety. The core elements of art are line, shape, space, value, color, texture, and perspective.
Line is a basic means of recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and feelings, serving as a primary tool for visual communication. Lines possess direction and are always active. Actual lines are visual marks, while implied lines are imaginary, created by connecting dots or elements through changes in color, tone, texture, or edges of shapes. Different types of lines convey different attitudes, such as vertical lines suggesting alertness, horizontal lines suggesting repose, and diagonal lines indicating action. Other line variations include jagged, curved, hard, and irregular lines.
Shape refers to the expanse within the outline of a two-dimensional area or the outer boundaries of a three-dimensional object. Shapes can be geometric (precise and regular, like circles, triangles, and squares) or organic (irregular, open, curving, or rounded, and more informal). Geometric shapes are common in human-made objects, while organic shapes are prevalent in nature. Mass or form refers to a three-dimensional volume that has or gives the illusion of weight and density. Examples of artworks featuring shape or mass include "Recumbent Figure" by Henry Moore, "Visual Elements" by John McTaggart, and "The Three Musicians" by Pablo Picasso.
Space in art refers to the appearance of depth or three dimensions. It also involves the artist's use of the area within the picture plane. The area around primary objects is negative space, while the area occupied by the objects is positive space. Visual arts are often called spatial arts because most art forms are organized in space. Architects are particularly concerned with three-dimensional space, while two-dimensional works define space by height and width. The illusion of three dimensions in two-dimensional works is spatial depth. Techniques for creating spatial depth include overlap, diminishing size, and vertical placement.
Creating the illusion of depth on a 2D surface is crucial in realistic art. Linear perspective, using one, two, or three-point perspectives, is a method to draw objects in space. Overlapping occurs when one object is in front of another, blocking part of the object behind it. Size is used to show that closer objects appear larger. Placement on the surface involves positioning objects lower on the picture plane to make them appear closer. Color and value are used to make closer objects appear darker and warmer, while distant objects appear lighter and cooler. Shading adds value to create the illusion of form, space, and light.
Value refers to the lightness and darkness of surfaces, ranging from white to various grays to black. It can be a property of color or an independent element. Chiaroscuro is the use of light and shade to reveal forms through subtle shifts from light to dark areas, a technique developed during the Renaissance to create the illusion of natural light conditions on a flat surface.
Color directly affects our thoughts, moods, actions, and health. Color exists only in light, and what we perceive as color is the effect of light waves of different wavelengths on our eyes. Hue refers to a gradation or variety of color. Primary hues are red, yellow, and blue; secondary hues are orange, green, and violet (created by mixing primary hues); and intermediate hues are combinations of primary and secondary hues. Value refers to the relative lightness and darkness, while intensity (or saturation) refers to the purity of a hue.
Texture refers to the tactile qualities of surfaces or the visual representation of these qualities. Actual textures are those we can feel by touching. Simulated texture is an illusion where an artwork's appearance differs from how it feels, often seen in hyper-realistic drawings.
Perspective is the point of view in visual arts and represents three-dimensional objects in space on a two-dimensional surface. Linear perspective makes objects appear smaller at a distance because parallel lines converge as they recede, meeting at a vanishing point on the horizon. The video details the steps to draw a simple box in one-point perspective, including drawing a horizon line, marking a vanishing point, drawing a square or rectangle, and using orthogonal lines.
The video presents an activity where viewers evaluate designs and identify the elements of art applied.
In option one of the second activity, viewers are instructed to apply the elements of art by creating a one-point perspective drawing of multiple shapes, following the steps outlined earlier in the video. The required materials include paper, ruler, triangle rule, pencil, mechanical pencil, eraser, and sign pen. A rubric is provided to rate the artwork.
Option two involves performing an artwork that exhibits the elements of art, using materials such as paper, color pastel, crayons, watercolor, or acrylic paint. The steps include thinking of a beautiful and useful artwork, applying the learned elements of art on oslo paper, and writing a reflection on a sheet of paper. A rubric is provided for rating this option as well.
The video concludes with a thank you for listening.

3:07 most shapes in nature are organic mass or form refers to a shape or three-dimensional volume that has or gives the illusion of having weight density or both artworks with shape or mass recumbent figure by henry moore visual elements by john mctaggart the three musicians by pablo picasso three space space in a work of art the first appealing of depth or three dimensions it can also refer to the artist's use of the area within the feature plane the area around the primary objects in a
3:53 work of art is known as negative space while the space occupied by the primary objects is known as positive space the visual arts are sometimes referred to as spatial arts because most of the art forms are organized in space spatial depth in two-dimensional surface architects are especially concerned with space with three-dimensional objects such as in architecture and sculpture one has to move around to get a full experience of three-dimensional space with two-dimensional works such as drawings prints photographs and paintings the actual space is defined by its edges
4:40 usually the two dimensions of height and weight the illusion of three dimension in two dimensional works is spatial depth diagrams up close to spatial depth in two-dimensional surface by preble 1999 a overlap b overlap and diminishing size c vertical placement nd overlap vertical placement and diminishing size space creating the illusion of depth when it comes to drawing and painting it is important for artists to be able to create the illusion of depth on a 2d surface in reality all realistic
5:26 or representation of art is dependent on creating an illusion there are a few tricks that can be used to create the illusion of space on 2d surface one linear perspective by using either one point perspective two-point perspective or three-point perspective an artist can create illusion of space linear perspective is a drawing method that uses lines to draw objects in space 2. overlapping when one object is positioned in front of another object part of the object behind it may be blocked from view three size objects that are closer to a viewer appear larger than objects that are
6:11 further off in the distance four placement on the surface generally objects that are positioned lower on the picture plane will appear closer than objects that are positioned higher on the picture plane five color and value objects that are closer to a viewer appear darker in value and warmer in color objects that are further away appear lighter in value and cooler in color 6. shading is the process of adding value to create the illusion of form space and most importantly light in a drawing
6:58 number four volume it reverses the lightness and darkness of surfaces it ranges from white to various grays to black it can be a property of color or an element independent color chiaroscuro is the use of of light and shade in which the forms are revealed by the subtle shifting from light to dark areas this technique was developed during the renaissance period to create illusion that figures and objects depicted on a flat surface appear as they do in the natural light conditions number five color this component of light affects us directly by modifying our thoughts moods actions and even our
7:45 health color exists only in light but light itself seems colorless to the human eyes and so called color is the effect on our eyes of light waves of deferring wavelengths or frequencies properties of color a u it refers to a gradation or variety of color types of hues primary use red yellow and blue secondary use orange green and violet these are produced by the mixture of primary use intermediate hue are red orange yellow green blue green and red violet each are located between the primary and secondary use up which they are composed
8:32 b value it repairs the relative lightness and darkness from white through grays and black c intensity it also called saturation refers to the purity of you or color the pure u is the most intense form of a given color the u at its highest saturation and the you in its brightest form 6 texture the textile qualities of services or to the visual representation of those qualities is referred to as texture in virtual arts actual textures are those we can peel by touching simulated texture is when an artwork's appearance
9:18 looks different to how it feels it is an illusion created by the artist to make a surprise appear different to how it actually is examples of simulated texture is a hyper realistic drawing 7 perspective perspective is point of view in visual arts it can refer to any means of representing three-dimensional objects in space on a two-dimensional surface it is a system designated to depict the way objects in space appear to the eye in linear perspective objects appear smaller at a distance because parallel lines appear to converge as they recede into the distance and the last meeting of the lines on the horizon
10:04 is called vanishing point one point perspective steps in drawing a simple box in one point perspective a draw a horizontal line about one third down your page b use a small dot or line to mark a spot roughly in the middle of the line that's your vanishing point c draw a square or rectangle well below and to one side of your vanishing point d make sure your vertical lines are perpendicular at right angles to your horizontal line and your horizontal lines are parallel use a ruler to ensure your lines are perfectly straight e draw a line from each corner of your
10:50 square or rectangle to the vanishing point f make sure they are straight and finish exactly at the vanishing point note in perspective drawing these lines are called orthogonal lines or orthogonals g draw a horizontal line starting a little way along the bottom left punishing line across until it joins to the bottom right vanishing line this is the bottom edge of the back of your box make sure it is straight and parallel to the horizon and front edge age draw two vertical lines straight up from where that back line meets the two vanishing lines up to the two top vanishing lines i
11:35 add the horizontal line that joins the two vertical lines you just draw j as your pin is constructing the box you can erase the vanishing lines to test your knowledge regarding the topic let's have activity number one directions evaluate the designs below try to see what elements of art are applied write your answer on a one whole sheet of paper for activity number two we have option one and option two option one direction apply the elements of arts by creating a one point perspective of multiple shapes apply the steps in creating a one point perspective drawing materials
12:21 also paper ruler triangle rule pencil mechanical pencil eraser and sign pen for one point perspective we have a rubric to rate your work option 2 direction perform an artwork that exhibits the elements of arts materials also paper color pastel crayons watercolor acrylic paint or any paint available steps a think of something beautiful and useful artwork to make your life more meaningful b apply the different elements of arts that you have learned c do this on oscillopaper
13:07 you may use crayons color pastel watercolor acrylic paint or any available resources that you have t write your reflection on a sheet of paper to rate your work we have rubric for option 2. i hope you liked the video thank you for listening you
