Visual Dictionary

Elements of Art:

1.) Line: quality (thick, thin, broken), implied line, actual line, linear networks: cross-contours, psychic line.

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Summer Mecham

2.) Shape: is a flattened enclosed area. The boundary of a shape can be created by enclosing an area with a continuous line or implied line, filling an area with solid color/ texture, broken color texture

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Summer Mecham

3.) Texture: physical, visual (illusion), invented texture

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Summer Mecham

4.) Value: Contrast, value distribution (proportion of lights and darks).

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Abdullah Alsaif

5.) Color: Color has: HUE< SATURATION< VALUE plus WHITE = TINT plus GRAY = TONE plus BLACK = SHADE

Example 1: 
Example 2: 

SONY DSC

Example 3: 

Student: Abdullah Alsaif

6.) Plane: 3-d form that has length and width but with minimal thickness.

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Abdullah Alsaif

7.) Volume: refers to enclosed area of 3-d space

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Luna 

 

8.) Mass: solid 3-d form

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Luna

9.) Space: area within or around an area of substance: positive/negative, compression/expansion, activated, entering.

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Luna

10.) Light: can enhance or obscure, affect emotions, entice us to enter, create mystery, can even be the sculptural medium

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Tristan Procell

11.) Time/motion: actual and implied are two aspects of time.

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3:

Principles of Design

1.) Unity/variety: similarity, oneness, togetherness, cohesion

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3:  

Student: Tristan Procell

2.) Balance:
Symmetry/approximate symmetry: visual or actual equilibrium of two halves of a composition mirroring each other in size/shape and placement of elements of art.
Asymmetry: creates equilibrium among visual elements that do not mirror each other on either side of axis. (Depending, design can be quite dynamic or chaotic
Radial symmetry: equilibrium achieved by elements emanating from a point, usually the center of a composition

Example 1: Example 2:

Example 3: 

Student: Steven Valero

3.) Scale: Comparative size of an element of art or object in relation to other objects and expectations about what is normal. (Ex: human scale)
Proportion: Relationship of the size of parts to each other and to the whole artifact or image

Example 1: 
Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Steven Valero

4.) Rhythm: Sense of movement – regular, irregular, pattern, or grid

Example 1:

Example 2: 
Example 3: 

Student: Steven Valero

5.) Emphasis: Arrangements of elements of art to make some areas the primary focus of a viewers’ attention

How to upload a video

NOTE: Click on each image to expand it fully.

Step 1: Go to your blog page.

Step 2: Create a new post. It doesn’t have to be a “media” post.

Step 3: Click the “Add Media” button

Step 4: At the top of the window that pops up, you’ll notice a tab that says “Upload Files” right next to “Media Library”. Once you click on that, you’ll be asked to drag and drop the files of your choice. Alternatively, you can press “Select Files” like I did and navigate to the media file you want to download. Here, I chose a small video clip of me looking at the new Nintendo Switch at PAX South.

Step 5: Once you’ve selected your file, you’ll automatically be taken back to the “Media Library” tab. Once here, the file you uploaded should already be selected for you. If not, click on it once, then click the “Insert into Post” button in the bottom right-hand corner.

Step 6: Finally, publish your blog post! When you view your post, the video will come out at as a hyperlink like the one below. When you click on it, the video will be downloaded onto the computer you’re viewing the blog post from and can be played in Windows Media Player, or whatever else your system uses to view videos.

NOTE: The only catch here is that the video can’t be over 50MB. If your video is too big, you can always upload it to another video sharing site like youtube and then copy a link to that video and paste it in your blog post.  If you don’t know how to upload to youtube, click here for an article that explains the steps.
