Assess and Reflect Examples Learn how to express identity lesson by Calli Loskill BIG PICTURE: line: a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional art work. color: reflected light, tones and hues unity: how well different parts of an artwork build on each other. Harmony, not the same as unity, is achieved by using similar elements throughout the work, giving an uncomplicated look to a piece of artwork or sculpture. value: the relative lightness or darkness of a color. It defines form and creates spatial illusions. Contrast of value separates objects in space, while gradation of value suggests mass and contour of a contiguous surface. metaphor:The representation of a person, place, thing, or idea by way of a visual image that suggests a particular association or point of similarity Sense of style, personality, character You will be able to describe the tone of the artwork and make an educated guess at its meaning What metaphors could these landscapes represent?
