Value - What is it?

1. Value is so important in art because without value there wouldn't be any art, the reason why you see stuff, the objects around you, is because of value, it tells you about the item. In this picture you can see the artist shaded the underneath and the back leg of the wolf darker then the rest of the wolf because there is a shadow being cast.

2. The element of value relates to the element of texture because in order to make texture you need to have value to distinguish the texture. In this picture the artist uses value to make the wolf look furry.

4. "building Value" means lightness and darkness, the darker it gets the more  value it has and the lighter it is the less value you have.


5. We best see value by using lightness and darkness, and shadows, since the highest value is when it's darker shadows have a lot of value and are usually easy to see.

Geometric and Organic Project

This is my Organic and Geometric Project. I was inspired to do this design because I really like drawing these kinds of trees. I used natural things and  turned them into something Geometric, such as the river, grass, bushes and tree trunk. I also used various colours for the river, grass, bushes and tree trunk to give them a more Geometric look, like they are mechanical almost. I gave the organic parts, the tree, sky and icicles natural colours, because they are natural, the icicles reflect the colour that is around it, blue for the sky, and a red-orange for the sun. My picture represents not only Geometric and Organic, but spring and winter too.

Real vs. Implied, Geometric vs. Organic

A) What do we mean by elements in Art?

   By elements we mean the basic things, or essentials needed to create art, such as LINE, and SHAPE. Without LINE or SHAPE you wouldn't be able create Art.

B) How are LINE and SHAPE are related?

   LINE and SHAPE are related because all a shape is, is a line connecting with it's self, but there are different kinds of lines which make different shapes, such as, precise, or regular lines create Geometric shapes, and irregular lines which create Organic shapes.

C) How are SHAPE and FORM related?

    SHAPE and FORM are related because without FORM, there wouldn't be SHAPES. The reason why there wouldn't be any SHAPES is because in order for something to have SHAPE, it needs to take a FORM.

D) REAL lines are lines that physically connect, they are touching. IMPLIED lines are lines that don't physically touch, but are in close proximity that our eyes and mine connect them and register them as a LINE.

                                     Examples of REAL lines are:
           
                                                     Rivers                            
                                           Roads and Pathways

                               Examples of IMPLIED lines are:                                                          

                                The computers in the art room                                                                         Children lining up 

D)Define and provide visual examples of GEOMETRIC and ORGANIC  LINES/SHAPES

   GEOMETRIC means it's more precise, it looks like it was made by mechanics, such as a square, triangle, trapezoid, etc.  

   ORGANIC means it's more irregular, and natural looking, such as a blob of paint, it has rounded sides, jaggedy sides, pointed sides, etc. 

LINE

1. How does the Author define "LINE"?

   The Author Defines "LINE" as: "An element of art that is the path of a moving point through space"

2. What is required to make a "LINE"?

   To Create a "LINE" you are required to have movement.

3. What is "Dimension"?

   Dimension is the amount of space an object takes up in one direction. Two Dimensional (2D) objects have height and width, and Three Dimensional (3D) objects have height, width, and depth.

4. List many ways Artists create "LINE"

   Artists create  "LINE" by: 

•  Drawing on paper with a pencil, such as this drawing where you can clearly see the lines the artist drew.

• Scratching into wet clay, lines were scratched into this sculpture to define the hair and facial features.

• or by painting them, in this famous painting "Starry Night" the Artist Vincent Van Gogh uses many lines to create this painting.
  

5. Define an "Outline" and an "Implied Line"

   An "Outline" is a line that shows or creates the outer edges of a shape. 

  

  

 "Implied Lines" are a series of points that the viewer's eyes automatically connect.
