Line, Space, Shape

Line

• Can be actual or implied.

  Classification

• An enclosed space.

• A series of points.

• A three dimensional geometrical

  figure showing height, width &

  depth. (basic)

Contour Line

• an important factor for physical

  artwork, it can affect how a

  surface is viewed.

• It is the object, drawing or picture

  in a painting.

• A point moved/moving through

  space. This applies to drawing,

  painting, printmaking, sculpture,

  clay/pottery, & architecture.

• Denotes/describes an outside edge

  of an object.

Directional line

• Can be implied. (painted to look

  like in a certain way)

• Point/moves the eye in a

  particular direction.

• A point moved/moving through

  space. This applies to drawing,

  painting, printmaking, sculpture,

  clay/pottery, & architecture.

• Refers to the space of a shape

  representing the subject matter.

Horizontal Lines

• Have the clear edges one achieves

  when using tools to create them.

• Lines parallel to the ground.

• Have the clear edges one achieves

  when using tools to create them.

• Portray actions & excitement.

Vertical Lines

• It divides the plane/delineates am

  edge of a volume.

• Denotes/describes an outside edge

  of an object.

• Shows dignity, formality, &

  strength.

• Lines that are made by combining

  diagonal that change direction.

Diagonal Lines

• Lines that move up & down.

• Lines that slant.

• Lines parallel to the ground.

• Lines that are made by combining

  diagonal that change direction.

Zigzag Lines

• Lines that are made by combining

  diagonal that change direction.

• Lines parallel to the ground.

• It divides the plane/delineates am

  edge of a volume.

• Lines parallel to the ground.

Space

• Have height & width.

• Can be actual or implied.

• An area whose length is

  considerably greater than its

  width.

• Refers to the distance, areas,

  emptiness, between, around

  within components of a piece.

2D

• An area whose length is

  considerably greater than its

  width.

• It includes the background,

  foreground & middle ground.

• Flat. (drawings & paintings)

• Make-up of an item, including

  geometrical dimensions, color,

  density, weight, etc. that give it a

  unique identity.

3D

• An enclosed space.

• Sculpture, architecture, ceramics

  & jewelry.

• Square, rectangle, Trapezoid.

• Can be either organic/geometric

  shapes.
