Studio Art | January 17th - Period 7

As the class enter they are directed to a set of lecture handouts.

"Welcome, kids, today we'll be discussing the Elements of Design.

"The major elements of design are as follows, Point, Line, Form (shape), Texture and Color. We'll be exploring some of these in greater detail as the term progresses, but for now we'll just stick to the basics"

Point

Exactly that, a point. A single mark or grouping of single marks used to draw focus to a certain spot on the page.

Line

A line connects two points. They can be curved, angular, thick, thin, vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Each of these options carries a different visual impact.

Form(shape)

What happens when you close lines and suddenly define an inside and an outside in your work. As with line, various shapes, and the placement and alignment thereof, carry different visual impacts.

Texture

How the work feels, or rather how it looks like it would feel. Smooth, rough, soft, hard, warm, cool.

Color

Red, green, blue, pink, yellow. Different shades carry different emotional connotations.

Today Jake is having fun with circles and the colour pink (http://pics.livejournal.com/courier_gavin/pic/000shep8/g62).

Parker blinked, then grinned. "That's way too amusing. Drawn from life?"

"Njet. But around here, I wouldn't be shocked if I did see flying pigs." Jake grinned back.

Parker smirked in agreement, then flipped over her art pad to show a sunset (http://pics.livejournal.com/mparker17/pic/0000abq6/) composed entirely of horizontal lines. "Might as well start simple. Although it would be more accurate with flying monkeys or pigs."
