Lesson 6: Elements and Principles of Arts | Almyra Kasim Bssw 1A

Summary

This video script explores key elements of art, focusing on space, color, and texture. It defines the differences between 2D and 3D art, highlighting how space can be either real or implied. The script also covers the color wheel, detailing primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, as well as color properties such as value, tint, shade, and intensity. Finally, it discusses the concept of texture, explaining both real and implied textures in art and their role in enhancing the sensory experience. The script provides insights on how these elements contribute to visual storytelling in art.

Takeaways

• 😀 Space in art can be real or implied, with real space being three-dimensional and implied space used in two-dimensional artworks.
• 😀 Two-dimensional (2D) artworks are flat with only length and width, while three-dimensional (3D) artworks also have depth, allowing for different perspectives.
• 😀 Real space refers to physical space in sculptures, installations, and architecture, like the Cloud Gate sculpture in Chicago.
• 😀 Implied space creates illusions of depth or distance in flat artworks, such as paintings and drawings, through techniques like perspective and shading.
• 😀 Positive space is the main subject in a piece of art, while negative space refers to the empty area around it, helping the subject stand out.
• 😀 Color in art adds interest and emotional impact, and it is dependent on light, with no color existing without light.
• 😀 The color wheel includes primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, with primary colors being the building blocks for mixing other colors.
• 😀 Value in color refers to the lightness and darkness of a color, with lighter colors creating a sense of lightness and distance, while darker colors create depth and mood.
• 😀 Tint and shade describe variations in color brightness, with tints being lighter versions created by adding white, and shades being darker versions created by adding black.
• 😀 Intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of a color, with complementary colors creating strong visual contrast, and analogous colors offering a sense of unity.
• 😀 Texture in art can be real or implied, with real texture being tangible in 3D art and implied texture creating illusions in 2D art through techniques like shading and surface detail.

Q & A

What is the difference between 2D and 3D art?

2D art is flat and only has length and width, typically seen in drawings or paintings on surfaces like paper or canvas. 3D art, like sculptures, has length, width, and depth, allowing us to view it from different angles and even interact with it physically.

What is the concept of real space in art?

Real space refers to the physical space we experience in the real world, with three dimensions: length, width, and depth. Sculptures, installations, and architecture are perfect examples of real space, as they exist in physical space and can be interacted with.

How does implied space work in 2D art?

Implied space creates the illusion of depth or distance in a 2D artwork, like paintings or drawings. Artists achieve this by using techniques such as perspective, shading, and the arrangement of elements in the artwork to make it appear as if some objects are closer or farther away.

What is the role of positive and negative space in art?

Positive space refers to the area in an artwork that contains the main subject or object, while negative space is the empty area around the subject. Artists often use negative space to make the main subject stand out more and create a sense of balance or emphasis.

What is the significance of color in art?

Color adds interest to artwork and influences how people feel or remember the piece. It is important to note that color is not inherent in objects but is a result of light interacting with them. The study of color led to the creation of the color wheel, which organizes colors based on their relationships.

What are primary, secondary, and tertiary colors?

Primary colors (red, yellow, blue) cannot be created by mixing other colors. Secondary colors (green, orange, violet) are created by mixing two primary colors. Tertiary colors are made by combining primary and secondary colors, offering a wider range of hues for creating color schemes.

How do light and dark colors affect an artwork?

Light colors, closer to white, create a sense of lightness and distance, while dark colors, closer to black, evoke a sense of weight, depth, and moodiness. These variations help artists create contrast, depth, and emphasis in their work.

What are tints and shades in color theory?

Tints are lighter versions of a color created by adding white, while shades are darker versions made by adding black. For example, pink is a tint of red, and maroon is a shade of red.

What is the difference between complementary and analogous color harmonies?

Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, like red and green or blue and orange. They create strong visual contrast. Analogous colors are next to each other on the color wheel, such as blue, green, and purple, and create a harmonious, unified effect.

How does texture contribute to an artwork?

Texture in art can be real or implied. Real texture refers to the physical feel of the surface in 3D art, while implied texture in 2D art creates the illusion of texture through artistic techniques like shading, brushstrokes, and detail. Artists use texture to evoke tactile sensations and enhance the emotional impact of their work.
