| Elements of Art & Design | ||||
Form is three-dimensional and encloses volume. Cubes, spheres, and cylinders are examples of various forms. Line refers to the continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point. It may be two dimensional, like a pencil mark on a paper or it may be three dimensional(wire) or implied( the edge of a shape or form) often it is an outline,contour or silhouette. Shape is an enclosed space defined by other elements. Shapes may take on the appearance of 2-D or 3-D objects. Color Is an element of art with three properties1) Hue, the name of the color, e.g. red, yellow, etc. 2) Intensity or the purity and strength of the color such as brightness or dullness. And 3) value, or the lightness or darkness of the color. Texture refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object, such as roughness, smoothness, or softness. Actual texture can be felt while simulated textures are implied by the way the artist renders areas of the picture. A variety of textures are needed in floral design. Space refers to the distance or area between, around, above or within things. It can be a description for both 2 and 3 dimensional portrayals. Value describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Value is needed to express Volume. Food for thought - Apply these elements to the floral design below. | ||||
