LESSON :
ARTIST AND ARTISANS
Claude Monet 1840-1926

Claude Monet was born on born November 14,

1840, Paris, France, died December 5, 1926, Giverny). He
enrolled in the Academie Suisse. After an art exhibition in
1874, a critic insultingly dubbed Monet's painting style
"Impression," since it was more concerned with form and
light than realism, and the term stuck. Monet struggled with

to render people in their various moods and dramatic guises.
Rembrandt is also known as a painter of light and shade and as
an artist who favored an uncompromising realism that would lead
some critics to claim that he preferred ugliness to beauty.
 His full name is Vincent Willem van Gogh, (born March
30, 1853, Zundert, Netherlands—died July 29, 1890, Auvers-
sur-Oise, near Paris, France), Dutch painter, generally
considered the greatest after Rembrandt van Rijn, and one of
the greatest of the Post-Impressionists. The striking colour,
emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work
powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern
art. Van Gogh’s art became astoundingly popular after his
death, especially in the late 20th century, when his work sold
for record-breaking sums at auctions around the world and was
featured in blockbuster touring exhibitions. In part because of
his extensive published letters, van Gogh has also been
mythologized in the popular imagination as the quintessential
tortured artist.

LESSON : 6 ELEMENTS of ART:
VISUAL
Line
A mark left in the path of a moving
point, a mark with length and direction(s)
• Lines can be: vertical, horizontal,
diagonal, straight, curved, angular or bent,
thick or wide, thin, blurred, fuzzy,
controlled, or meandering.
• Lines can create an outline or contour. Shape and Form
• Lines are often used to define space or
direct the movement of your eyes.

Shape is one of the elements

of art. When lines meet shapes are
formed.
Form is one of the elements of
art. Forms are three dimensional---they
have height, width and depth. Shapes are
flat, forms are not.

Color
Color (hue) is one of the elements of art. Artists use color in many
different ways. The colors we see are light waves absorbed or reflected by
everything around us. In nature, a rainbow is white light that is broken apart by
the moisture in the air.

Color has three properties:

Texture

Texture is one of the

elements of art. Texture is the way
something feels when you touch
it- actual texture: examples, rug,
clothes, wood etc. Artists also
create the illusion of texture in
artworks such as paintings
drawings and prints- implied
texture; created with elements
such as pattern and line.

Space

Space is one of the elements

of art. Space is an empty place or
surface in or around a work of

three-dimensional, negative and or
positive. AUDITORY

RHYTHM
Rhythm is the element of "TIME" in music. When you tap
your foot to the music, you are "keeping the beat" or following the
structural rhythmic pulse of the music. There are several important
aspects of rhythm:
DYNAMICS
All musical aspects relating
to the relative loudness (or
quietness) of music fall under the
general element of DYNAMICS.

MELODY

Melody is the LINEAR/HORIZONTAL presentation of pitch (the word

used to describe the highness or lowness of a musical sound). Many famous
musical compositions have a memorable melody or theme.
Melodies can be described as:
• CONJUNCT (smooth; easy to sing or play)
• DISJUNCT (disjointedly ragged or jumpy; difficult to sing or play).

Harmony is the
VERTICALIZATION of pitch. Often,

combining pitches into chords (several
notes played simultaneously as a "block").
HARMONY
These chords are usually arranged into
sentence-like patterns called chord
progressions.
TEXTURE

Texture refers to the number of individual musical lines

(melodies) and the relationship these lines have to one
another.

PRINCIPLES OF ART
BALANCE
 Balance is concerned with the visual distribution or weight of
the elements in a work of art. A painting could be balanced if one half
is of the same visual weight as the other half? Or, you could have a
small area of heightened significance which is balanced against a
much larger area of less significance, like in the painting below.

SCALE

Scale refers to the size of an object compared to the

rest of the surroundings. For example, the size of a man
compared to the tree he is sitting under or the size of a
mountain compared to the clouds. Scale is different to
proportion in that scale refers to the size of an entire object

principles. Generally speaking, it refers to how well all the visual
elements work together in a work of art. Elements which are

relationship. If there is an element which is not in harmony with

qualities or instances of the visual
elements. Variety can be used to break up
monotonous or repetitive areas.
