Match Gravity Created by MsZvinakis Learn terms that help us describe and define line and shape as vital elements of art. Terms in this set (17) contour line A line which shows the important exterior and interior ridges and edges, or definition of an object. outline a line that shows or creates the outer edges of a shape implied line
The type of line in art that is used to show an object's outline and other lines or edges within the object are what are called contour lines. Hope I helped let me know if you need further explanation!
Simplified outlines The basic outline shapes are square, rectangle, circle, triangle, star, and all polygonal shapes (hexagon, octagon, etc..). After these shapes that contain the minimum lines to create an outline, there are infinitely more complex outlines with more and more lines.
-The measure of a line refers to its length and width. -Given enough width, line can play the role of shape. Types and Qualities of Line -Lines can be curved, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. -The quality of a line is related to its measure (thick or thin) and its characteristics (smooth, jagged, or broken). -Line can also be symbolic.
A contour is the line which defines a form or edge - an outline. Contour drawing is the place where most beginners start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of a form, as well as dramatic changes of plane within the form.
contourscontours – showing the shape and form of something.
Contour- The outline of a shape.
Implied lines are lines that are suggested by changes in colour, tone and texture or by the edges of shapes. This lithograph print of The Scream (Edvard Munch, 1895) is entirely made using actual lines. Contour lines show the figure and its expression as well as outlining the bridge, the land, water and sky.
Implied lines (when the viewer eye's connects other elements of an artwork to create a line) that leads to a focal point.
At its most basic, a shape is created when a line is enclosed: a line forms the boundary, and the shape is the form circumscribed by that boundary. Line and shape are two elements in art that are nearly always used together. Three lines are used to create a triangle while four lines can make a square.
Line. A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.
Line is a mark made using a drawing tool or brush. There are many types of lines: thick, thin, horizontal, vertical, zigzag, diagonal, curly, curved, spiral, etc.
Line is an element of art defined by a point moving in space. It is probably the most fundamental of the elements of design as it is usually the starting place for much of artistic creation. Lines can be vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or curved. They can be any width or texture.
Abstract Line Art Unlike figurative line art, which uses lines to represent the outer world, its abstract counterpart uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to produce compositions liberated from the boundaries of the visual reality.
Directional lines in art, art lines that direct your eye around the artwork. Directional lines can be vertical, horizontal, diagonal or curvy. Directional line can direct your eye to an object in the artwork or can give the artwork a feeling of movement.
It is, essentially, the outline or silhouette of a given object or figure. Additionally, contour lines can be used to show any dramatic changes of plane within the object or form (like the inner seams within the structure of a shoe, for example).
The basic outline shapes are square, rectangle, circle, triangle, star, and all polygonal shapes (hexagon, octagon, etc..). After these shapes that contain the minimum lines to create an outline, there are infinitely more complex outlines with more and more lines.
The visual outline is the line or group of lines that define a shape or figure. By limiting the shape, the lines isolate this shape into the space or the composition. The outlines configure the shapes. The length or measure of a contour is called perimeter, used especially in mathematics and technical drawing.
The length or measure of a contour is called perimeter, used especially in mathematics and technical drawing. The stroke is the line of the outline. We will determine whether the stroke is more or less thick, more or less bounding and closed, or whether it will be discontinuous, for example.
Types of visual outline. 1. Marked sharp and strong contours. This outlines are clearly visible and distinguished. The marked strokes are better seen. Painting Heritage by Matt Sesow. Heritage (herencia), by Matt Sesow, is a painting with strong outlines on the characters. It´s used in the Expressionists and strong styles.
Painting by Sesow Matt. Another painting by Sesow Matt with very pictorial strokes. For example the circles in the eyes. The outlines also can be filled with color or not, as in this case. This is why a shape and a outline are not the same, although sometimes, the contour and the shape are attached.
horizontal lines imply calmness and balance; vertical lines suggest dignity, stability, power and structure; diagonal lines often create tension and visual movement. crosshatching. technique of crossing lines over each other to create a change in value. shape.
contour line. A line which shows the important exterior and interior ridges and edges, or definition of an object. outline. a line that shows or creates the outer edges of a shape. implied line. An arrangement of elements to create the illusion of a line. gestural line.
geometric shape= square) figure and ground. a shape that appears to be on top of background shapes and a shape that seems to be underneath or surrounding a figure. Often refferred to positive and negative shape.
structural lines. lines that hold the design together; generally mechanical or consistent in weight and placement. line personality. the general characteristics of a line, such as its direction, movement, quality, or weight; often defined by what made the line or whom. direction of line.
In art, a point (which has no measurable size in math). Line. is a moving dot in artistic vocabulary. The Measure of Line. -The measure of a line refers to its length and width. -Given enough width, line can play the role of shape. Types and Qualities of Line. -Lines can be curved, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
Types and Qualities of Line. -Lines can be curved, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. -The quality of a line is related to its measure (thick or thin) and its characteristics (smooth, jagged, or broken). -Line can also be symbolic. Actual Lines. are physically present in a work of art. Implied Lines.
Contour Line. is not an actual line but an edge that is perceived where a three---dimensional form curves away from the viewer. Chiaroscuro (or modeling) creates the illusion of three-dimensionality through gradations of light and shade. Value.
