Lines
LINES IN WIRE
LINES IN PAINT
SHAPE
A LINE ENCLOSING A SPACE
 There are two kinds of shapes
ORGANIC
GEOMETRIC
GEOMETRIC SHAPES
ORGANIC SHAPES
Color
The effect of light on an object
 Primary
 Secondary
 Tertiary
 Analogous
 Monochromatic
 Complementary
 Warm
 Cool
COLOR

COLOR WHEEL
Primary Colors
 One
of any three basic colors (red, yellow, blue)
that cannot be made by mixing colors.
 Primary
colors are used for mixing other colors.
Primary Colors
A
Secondary Color
color made by mixing equal amounts
of two primary colors.
 Green,
orange, and violet are the
secondary colors.
Secondary Colors
Tertiary Color

A color made by mixing a secondary color with a
primary color.

Blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange, red-orange,
red-violet, and blue-violet are intermediate colors.
Tertiary Color
Complementary
 Colors
that are directly opposite each other on
the color wheel.
 red
and green, blue and orange, and violet and
yellow.
COMPLEMENTARY
ANALOGOUS COLORS
 Colors
that are closely related because they have
one hue in common.
 These
wheel
colors fall next to each other on the color
Analogous
TEXTURE
Monochromatic
 Made
of only a single color or hue and its tints
and shades.
 Tint=color+white
 shade=color+black
or complement
Monochromatic
 The
Value
darkness or lightness of a surface.
 Value
depends on how much light a surface
reflects.
Value
Space

The empty or open area between, around, above,
below or within objects.
Positive space is filled by a shape or form.
 Negative space surrounds a shape or form.

SPACE
Form
Any three- dimensional object.
 A form can be measured from top to bottom, side to
side, front to back.
 A shape that can be geld in your hand.
 Cube, cylinder, cone, prism, sphere.

Organic Form
Geometric Form
