Outlines
🎨 Understanding Art through Line and Color
In this segment, Teacher Ricky from Trimex Colleges introduces viewers to the elements of design in art, focusing on line and color. He explains that lines can be defined as a series of dots connected to form straight, vertical, horizontal, curved, or jagged lines. Curved lines are associated with emotions like softness and fluidity, exemplified by Edvard Munch's 'The Scream'. Jagged lines, on the other hand, convey sharpness and activity, as seen in Pablo Picasso's 'The Weeping Woman'. The discussion then transitions to color, starting with primary colors. Red is linked to fire, blood, and anger, with Henri Matisse's 'The Red Room' as a prime example. Yellow is associated with sunlight, fun, and happiness, as depicted in Gustav Klimt's 'The Kiss'. The segment concludes with a brief mention of the upcoming discussion on the remaining elements of design.
🖌️ The Emotional Impact of Colors in Art
This part of the video script delves deeper into the emotional significance of colors in art. Blue is described as evoking calmness, sadness, and the night, with Vincent van Gogh's 'Starry Night' serving as a notable example. The artist's use of blue, along with curved lines, reflects his complex mental state. The discussion then moves to the non-colors of black and white. White is considered the presence of all colors, symbolizing purity and cleanliness, as seen in Kazimir Malevich's 'White on White'. Black, representing the absence of color, is associated with darkness, sadness, and evil, exemplified by Francisco Goya's 'The Witches' (also known as 'The Flying Witch'). The segment wraps up by summarizing the elements of line and color discussed and hints at the forthcoming exploration of space, light, and shape in the next video.

different elements of design
now the different elements of design is
line color
space light and then shape
okay now to review the last vlog we
talked about
how do we first approach an artwork now
when you look at an artwork
you look at the artist okay the title of
the work
when it was made where it was made
the materials used and then also the
size of the work
okay now in today's vlog we will be
talking about the elements of design
which is line
so we'll start with line now if you
define
line it's just you know dots a series of
dots and then
these stats are connected now if you
continue to make dots
it become a line right so the different
kinds of lines there's the dash
the straight vertical horizontal
and then you have curve and then you
have jagged lines
now we will talk mainly about curve
and jagged lines now when you talk about
curved lines
you know it exudes an emotion so
let me show you some examples okay
now um some adjectives that i know are
when you talk about curved lines would
be soft water
curly spiral now
some works of art use this very well and
express a certain feeling
now uh the artwork of edward
munch the scream from norway
it's an oil on canvas it was made in 19
1893 and it's 91
centimeters by 73.5 centimeters it's as
big as a tv basically an led big
led tv now if you look at this painting
um it uses curved lines
when he when when it's uh trying to
express
fluidity okay now how about
jagged lines now jagged lines i'll give
you an example
okay now let me
ask you what impression or
how what do you feel or what adjectives
do
jagged lines say or express
so some of them are sharp active
static not smooth
of course and then electric now uh
some works of art use jagged lines
also to express those emotions
now let me show you one example by pablo
picasso
it's called the weeping woman it was
made in france
in 1937 oil on canvas
uh the size is 60 centimeters by 49
centimeters it's just
it's a portrait type of uh
of a painting now if you notice
um with the title
weeping woman so sad
you know uh maybe angry
you know if you look at her eyes so this
is one of the one of the best works of
pablo picasso
now uh pablo picasso used
jagged lines the nose the teeth
no just express some sort of
perplex feelings of this woman
okay now the second element is color
color so you have red blue and yellow
the primary colors now um these colors
also give us
some significance or some adjectives
right so
when you talk about red you say fire
blood anger or even the stop light when
you look at the stop light and it
flashes thread you start to slow down
right
venom you don't go faster when it's red
light
you stop now here's an example of a
painting that
uses uses predominantly red now this is
a henry matisse painting
the title of the work is the red room
this was made
in 1908 oil on canvas
it's 1.8 meters by 2.2 meters
quite big it's quite big now here
matisse made a
made use of red to show the following
emotions
energy optimism actually this is one of
his best works
now if you look at it it's totally 80
percent of the painting is
red okay now
yellow uh the second primary color
now if you talk about yellow like my
background
uh adjectives come to mind
is the sun light
fun happiness
so uh i'll show you one example of an
artwork that uses predominantly
yellow okay okay this artwork was made
by
gustav klimt the kiss uh
it was approximately made in 1907 to
1908
in austria item all oil and
oil on canvas with gold leaf
now it's 1.8 meters by 1.8 meter
quite big though now the use of yellow
in the painting evokes feelings of
abandonment ecstasy
and also delight so
if you see uh from the title itself
the case okay now the next caller that
we'll be talking about
the third primary color is blue so if
you talk about blue you say
calm sad night
water then peace now a sample of
a predominantly blue painting would be
vincent van gogh
starry night it was made on june
1889 uh
at the same remy de provence
it's a 74 centimeter by 92 centimeter
oil
painting now this was made uh
when he was in the hospital
for mental uh illness uh
it's quite beautiful and also very
expressive
if you also notice he used curved lines
here
but uh in his mental state
uh he was in an asylum you could see
that he was a bit
sad gloomy to a point
but yet was optimistic because of the
yellow sunburst in the sky
so kind of perplexed but very very
beautiful actually vincent van gogh is
one of my favorite
artists now how about black black and
white
technically it's not a color now if you
project white light in a present
uh when it comes out the present it
shoots out
all the colors all the colors so
uh if you define white basically this
white
is a combination of all the colors
now if you if you ask about white
some adjectives come to mind so you have
purity
bright clean cleanliness
plain angel you know usually they're
depicted in white
now sample uh i'll i'll show you a
sample of an artwork
no this is by casimir malevich
okay it's called white and white it's
uh it was made in 1918 in russia
oil on canvas now this the size of the
painting is
1779 centimeters by 79 centimeters
interestingly now this was made right
after the russian revolution
so it looks very simple
but if you take it into context
when this was made right after the
revolution the
russian revolution it's it speaks for
volumes
okay next if
there is white of course there's
platinum uh
black is the absence of color
okay if uh white is the presence of
all or combination of all the colors
black would be the opposite uh
adjectives for black would be the
opposite of white so
you have dark sad evil
and empty now i'll show you a sample of
uh an artwork that is predominantly
black by francisco goya
entitled bewitch
then it's also called the devil slam
this was made in 1798
it's oil on canvas the size of the work
is 42.5 centimeters by 30.8
centimeters now if you notice the paint
in the painting
uh just by the the title itself
france francisco goya or hoya
tried to depict evil
darkness by the color black
okay so in summary now the two elements
discussed are line and color
and in the next video we'll discuss the
next three elements which
are space light and shape now again
