Value

1. Why is value so important in ART?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Value (darkness and lightness) helps us tell what the shape/object infront of us is.

2. How does element of value relate to the element of texture?
Value makes us see the texture of the object without actually touching it.
 

3. List 5 ways of rendering (ir. drawing) value.
-Cross hatching
-Hatching
-Scribble hatching
-Stippling
-

4. Describe what we mean by building value in an element.
It's when the shading slowly becomes darker. In our value table we started from white all the way to black.
 

5. How do we best see value?
For exmple, in a cube we see value from one sides of it. Value starts off really light then darkens to black.

Geometric/Organic drawing

This is my drawing for the geometric and organic project. The organic side is on the left and the geometric side is on the right. I tried to change the colors between the two drawings to show the difference clearly between the organic and geometric side.

 

 

 

Real vs. Implied, Geometric vs. Organic

1- a) What do we mean by elements in art? Explain.
Elements in art are everything art is made up of. There are six important elements of art such as
Line, shape, form, value, texture, and space

b) How line and shape are related?
Shapes are made out of lines. For example, rectangles, triangles, squares, etc are all made out of lines.

c) How shape and form are related?

A shape has two dimensions (Length and width). A form has both length and width except it also has height.

d) Define and provide visual examples of real and implied lines?

Real lines are lines that continue going. 

Implied lines are dots that follow eachother in a straight line

e) Define and provide visual examples of geometric and organic lines/shapes, including the idea that organic shapes are typically found in nature (with some exceptions), and geometric shapes are typically human made (with some exceptions). Be sure to cite a couple of examples of the exceptions!!
Geometric shapes/ lines have clear edges when using tools to create them such as circles, rectangles, squares, triangles, etc.

Organic shapes/lines are shapes with a natural and flowing look.

Line

1. How does the author define "line"?
A line is a basic element in art, it is a dot that keeps going in a space Lines can be drawn as vertical, horizontal, diagonal, zigzag, curved, straight, etc. They can be short of long, wide or skinny, and rough or smooth.

2. What is required to make line? (This must be pretty important if it is so closely linked to line!)
Drawing tools are required to make a line such as a pencil or anything to draw with. Also, a ruler if the line is going to be straight and the artist needs to decide what type of line they're going to draw.

3. What is "dimension"?
Dimension is the length, height, or width of a shape or an object.

4. List many ways that artists create line.
Artists use different techniques to draw lines such as hatching, crosshatching, stippling wich can be an example of an implied line, changing the texture of the lines, etc. Artists always try to come up with unique ideas to make their paintings the best.

5. Define an "outline" and an "implied" line.

An outline is the edges of a paiting or anything drawn. 

An implied line can be dots that follow as a line.
