FORM 1

ELEMENTS OF ART: FORM AND VALUE

Elements of Art: Form

Form- an element of art, means objects that have three dimensions.

The world we live in made up almost entirely of forms.

Elements of Art: Value

Value is perhaps the most important element of art when it comes to drawing. It can help create the illusion of form in a drawing or painting when used properly.

Shapes into Forms:

Learn how to draw shapes and turn them into forms in this video demonstration.

Making Things Look 3D

You can simplify pretty much any organic object into sphere, cylinders and cubes or a combination of these three forms.

Practice drawing cylinders and cubes from various angles.

ELEMENTS OF ART: SPACE

Space

Is the area between and around objects. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art, when we create the feeling or illusion of depth, we call it space.

Note: Only the first four techniques were practiced in class. Don't panic!

• Space • Illusion of form • Overlapping

• Placement • Detail • Size • Illusion of depth

ELEMENTS OF ART: TEXTURE

Texture

It refers to the way an object feels to the touch or looks as it may feel if it were touched. Texture is one of the seven elements of art.

When drawing or painting texture, it is important to pay close attention to the values- they reveal the illusion of texture.

Implied or Visual Texture

It is the illusion of a 3-D surface Simulated- imitate real textures.

Assignment #1 (Form 1G-1L-1M)

Draw and recreate the 12 different textures uploaded as a .pdf file. in

7 x 7 cm squares. Use a variety of pencils (H for light values- B for dark values). Assigment must be done in your journal.

STEPS

• Download the .pdf file titled "Textures" and print the document.

• Observe carefully and trying to identify lines, shapes and the different values. Note: use the value scale to identify the lightness and darkness of the texture.

• Draw each one of them in a 7 x 7 cm square.

Remember draw what you see not what you think you see.

Real or Actual Texture

It refers to the tactile qualities of the physical surface of the object, in other words, it's how the surface of the object or work feels when you touch it.

Assignment #2

Design a create a chart of 8 different textures by following the next instructions:

• It must be done with black bristol board and white paper.

• The size of the chart is: 12 x 22 inch (black bristol board).

• Each texture must be done in a 4 x 4 inch square.

• The 8 textures will be displayed on the 12 x 20 bristol board.

• Chart must be titled TEXTURES.

Materials: black bristol board, white paper (computer pages), glue, your hands and creativity :)

TIP: They are different ways to create texture with paper. You make different textures by various methods such as twisting, crumpling, cutting tearing, curling, braiding etc. Do some research and get inspire before you start working.

In fine art, the term 'landscape' - from the Dutch word 'landschap', describes any painting or drawing whose "principal subject" is the portrayal of a scenic view. Such scenery encompasses meadows, hills, mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, forests, coastal views and seascapes. The view depicted may be of a real place, or it may be an imaginary or idealized scene.

Landscape paintings are not necessarily limited to depictions of land. For example, they can also include images of seascapes, cloudscapes, skyscapes, riverscapes, or cityscapes (otherwise known as "urban landscapes"). The main unifying element of any of these -scape artworks is that they all center around some kind of scenery.
