Elements of Art

Elements Of Art 

      There are a lot of elements to art. Elements of art include color, texture, shape, line, form, pattern and shape. www.getty.edu on this website it lists the elements to art. John Paul Getty Museum is one of the best art museum to go to because it shows a lot of those elements. I learned from reading this website is that to get a good photo you have you have these elements on the photo.  

Line: it marks with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal; straight or curved; thick or thin.

Shape: is a closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares and circles; or organic, like free-form or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and can express length and width.  

Forms: are 3D shapes expressing length, width, and depth. Balls, cylinders, boxes, and pyramids are forms. 

Space: is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is 3D; in visual art, when we create the feeling or illusion of depth,we call it space.

Color: is light reflected off of object. Color has 2 main characteristics: hue( the name if the color such as red, green, blue, ect.) value ( how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is ). 

  •  White is pure light; black is the absence of light.
  • Primarly colors are the only true color (red, blue, and yellow). All the other colors are mixes of primary colors.
  • Secondary colors are 2 primary colors mixed together (green, orange, violet). 
  • Intermediate colors, sometimes called tertiary colors, are made by mixing a primary and secondary color together. Some examples of intermediate colors are yellow green, blue green, and blue violet.
  • Complementary colors are located directly across from each other on the color wheel (an arrangement of colors along a circular diagram to show how they are related to one another). Complementary pairs contrast because they share no common colors. For example, red and green are complements because green is made of blue and yellow. When complementary colors are mixed together they neutralize each other to make brown. 
Texture: is the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft, or hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look; for example, a drawing of a porcupine may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth. 

All the above are examples of elements used in photography.

Composers And Composition

     There are rules of compotition in photography. There are many perspectives of the photographer or the view of the photograph. Third of rules, leading lines, simplicify, framing, symmetric are rules of compotion.( photographyblogger.net )

     Beethoven, Ludwig Van was a great composer. He did not write as much as Mozart or Schubert but he produced is all worth listening to. On this page that I found is  great source to learn more about him as well as his music. ( lvbeethoven.com )

     There are 5 elements of composition in photography. The key to remember that in the same way as a chef rarely uses all the ingredients of compositionin the making of the image. On this site it lists the 5 elements .  ( Digital Photography School )

1st assignment: Looking at light

  
I seen shadow in my face because of my dark hair. I looked lighter because my shirt reflexs light to my face and body. Because of the bronzer and how I highlighted my face with makeup some parts of my face looks lighter then the rest . When i was outside I got nervous when my group stared at me to see how light worked on me . After a while i got use to it and got confortable and lost all my nervous. I got my confiedence back. Me as a photographer, when I photograph other people I will be my self and try to make them feeel comfortable.
