Elements and Principles of Design

Elements

Line: linear marks made with a pen or brush. OR the edge created when two shapes meet.

Shape:a self-contained defined area of geometric or organic form. A positive shape in a painting automatically creates a negative shape.

Direction: All lines have direction (horizontal, vertical, or oblique). Horizontal suggests calmness, vertical gives balance and formality, and oblique suggests movement and action.

Size: the relationship of the area occupied by one shape to that of another.

Texture: surface quality of a shape (rough, smooth, glossy, and so on), it can be visual or tactile.

Color (Hue): combinations of color can be used to create focus, balance, harmony, and mood

Value (Tone): the lightness or darkness of a color.

Principles

Balance: similar to balance in physics, large shapes in the center are balanced by smaller ones near the edge, and dark is balanced with light.

Gradation: of size and direction creates linear perspective, of warm to cool and dark to light creates an areal perspective. It can add interest and movement to a shape.

Repetition: to create interest, any repeating element should have a degree of variation. 

Contrast: the juxtaposition of opposing elements, major contrast often creates a focal point.

Harmony: the visually satisfying effect of combining similar and related elements.

Dominance: creates emphasis or an area of focus by having one area stand out.

Unity: relating the elements of design to the idea being expressed.

Illustrator

 The artist I chose was Marion Bolognesi. I chose her illustrations because we have a similar fixation, eyes. Her paintings focus on the emotional intensity a person can show throw just their eyes. Another aspect of her work that I love is the dripping of paint. All of her works have this, which I equate to some sort of sorrow or suffering like the face is crying or melting. In all of her works the eyes just pull you in.

The artwork I created was a more solidified version of her work. A lot of her pieces have a lot of white space in which  there would typically have been a lighter or middle tone. With my piece I made it a bit more  opaque and I used a lot more skin tones than she usually does.  I love her use of cool colors and layering so I tried to incorporate that as well.

So, first thing to get out of the way is my name, Jillian and I put together this collage.  There isn't really that much that's interesting about me. I'm a gluten-free vegan, which in all truth really isn't that much fun. Art is probably one of my biggest passions, being able to turn your thoughts and feelings into expressive images is amazing to me. Another thing that is a passion of mine is French, in all honesty I'm not sure why, I just really enjoy it. But, if i had to pick one thing that was most important in my life I'd have to say it is the people around me, my friends and family. Besides all that I'm really into reading, music, drawing, and way too many other things to list in one post.
