- 16. Composition Elements Line – the basic building block of a visual design A linear form in which length dominates ever width A color edge An implication of continued direction Picasso’s ‘Girl before a Mirror’
- 17. Composition Elements Cont… Form – the shape of an object within a composition The spaced described by the line
- 18. Composition Elements Cont… Color – hue, value, & intensity Hue – denotes the measurable wavelength of a specific color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) Value – key, relationship of blacks to whites to grays Intensity – chroma or saturation, degree of purity of a hue
- 19. Composition Elements Cont… Mass – the physical volume and density of an object the use of light and shade, texture, and perspective Texture – roughness or smoothness ( impasto, applied with a palette knife ) Giovanni Vanni’s “Holy Family with St. John”
- 20. Composition Elements Cont… Principles Repetition – rhythm, harmony, & variation Balance – equilibrium in a work (symmetrical, formal & asymmetrical, informal) Unity – means by which it achieves unity Focal area – the focal point Leonardo da Vinci, Last Supper
- 21. Composition Elements Cont… Perspective – indicates spatial relationships Chiaroscuro – light & shade, gives the picture its character Content – ranging from naturalism to stylization

- 23. Important Terms: QUICK REVIEW Intaglio Lithography Composition Line Form Hue Value Intensity Variation Symmetry Perspective Chiaroscuro
- 24. Intaglio (in-TAL-ee-oh ) The printmaking process in which ink is transferred from the grooves of a metal plate to paper by extreme pressure
- 25. Lithography A printmaking technique, based on the principle that oil and water do not mix, in which ink is applied to a piece of paper from a specially prepared stone.
- 26. Composition The arrangement of line, form, mass, color, and so forth in a work of art.
- 27. Line The basic building block of visual design: for example, a thin mark, a color edge, or implied.
- 28. Form The shape of an object within a composition.
- 29. Hue The spectrum notation of color.
- 30. Value The relationships of lights to darks in a visual composition.
- 31. Intensity The degree of purity of a color.
- 32. Variation The relationship of repeated items in a composition to each other.
- 33. Symmetry The balancing of like forms and colors on opposite sides of the vertical axis of a composition.
- 34. Perspective The creation of the illusion of distance in a picture through the use of line, atmosphere, and so on.
- 35. Chiaroscuro Light and shade; the balance of light and shade across the whole picture.
