Art Text Questions
Question one: There were seven elements of the design listed in the unit. Please name five of them, and give a short description of each.
Answer: line, shape, space, value, form, texture, and color.
Line: I thin or thick drawn/made considered a moving point in space, It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length.
Shape: a two-dimensional form tends to be colored or circled/lined
Space: the feeling of depth or three dimensions there’s a positive and negative space, Positive space is filled in or used to be a part of the drawing, the negative can be the empty space in the painting
Value: it sometimes light and dark colors it is used a scale at times and used to make high or low contrast
Form: has a physical being and the other could be like a message from an image,
Textures: surface quality, there are real and actual textures, some textures aren't as they seem or made something created to look like something it is not
Color: the element of art

Question two: There were also seven principles of the design listed in the unit. List five of the principles of design and explain what each means.
Answer: Emphasis, contrast, balance, pattern, and rhythm.

Emphasis: The principle of art that helps the audience put the story of a painting together in their own minds. Any object or area of emphasis is called a focal point.
Contrast: The arrangement of opposite elements and effects. For example, light and dark colors, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes.
Balance: The distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space.
Pattern: A design in which lines, shapes, forms, or colors are repeated.
Rhythm: The principle of design that suggests movement or action.

Question three: There are three different ways that balance is used. Please list the three different ways and explain what each means.
Answer: Symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial

Balance is the principle of design that teaches the work of art should be in harmony, and that its sides “weigh” the same so that it doesn’t look uneven. The three types of balance are symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.
Symmetrical balance means the two parts of the art are identical. If we were to separate the picture or art piece in the middle, the two sides would be equal, presenting the same elements and weighing the same.
An asymmetrical balance occurs when the two parts of the painting or work of art are not the same, yet they weigh the same. They are in harmony, but they have different components. For example, maybe one side presents larger elements, but the other side has brighter colors, so there is no tension, and the observer sees composure on the piece.
Radial balance is presented as elements gathered around the joined center. They can go towards it, or from it, but they seem as if to radiate from the same point.

Question four: In the unit, elements of content were discussed. There were four elements of content listed; please name all four and write one sentence explaining each?
Answer: line, shape, form, and texture
Line: Lines, a line is the starting point of every artist's artwork, the line could either be broken, jagged, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal, so basically, a line is the start of the art.
Shape: A shape is anything with edges or is surrounded by an outline, a shape can be anything, but it just has to all end and connect at a certain point to make it a certain shape you want, or you can make your own shape!
Form; Form, a for is a shape but shaped differently, if you were to make a 3d art like a cube, that is a “form” of shape that is not 2d but 3d, a form can be viewed differently from an angle.
Texture: Texture is the way it feels when you touch an artwork, for example, if you were to make a rocky mountain artwork, then you would choose a more rough medium for the rocky mountain part, and maybe a softer one for grass or moss.

Question five: In the unit, we learned about value scales. If you were going to make your own value scale, how would you do it? Please list the steps that you would take and what kinds of materials you would need to make a value scale.
Answer: How to make a value scale? Or what materials would you use to make it? Well, I’m am going to tell you!
Step one: First I draw out a rectangle and draw nine lines in it (basically making it into nine squares).
Step two: now I get either a pencil or some black and white paint
Step three: Then I would use the pencil to push it hard against the paper on the last box to the right to make it black, then I would make the ones to the left ligj=hter and lighter and the last box to the left would be blank representing it is white.
Step three (again?): If I was to use the paint, then I would use the black paint and paint the last box to the right black, then I would mix white with black more and more until I paint in the last box to the left white.

I will add the rest of my answer soon!
