1. Body
The human body in art
- Visual Arts: Elements, Principles and the Creative Process – Every artwork, from a pencil sketch to a sculpture or a poster, is built from the same seven elements: line, shape, form, colour, texture, value (tone) and space. Artists arrange these with principles of design: balance, contrast, emphasis, rhythm and pattern, proportion and unity. Colour theory (primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, warm and cool) and perspective help you make pictures look real or feel a certain way. In school art courses you also learn a process: research artists, develop ideas, experiment with media, record observations, and present a final personal response in a portfolio.
