monochromatic art

Assignment: Create a piece of art that uses a monochromatic color scheme.

Your artwork should:

1. Have at least 10 shapes.

2. Show 10 value steps.

3. Use both geometric and organic shapes.

4. Have a strong center of interest. Make one shape larger than the others.

Vocabulary

Monochromatic: Art made up of only one color, plus tints and shades.

Value: the lightness or darkness of a color.

Tint is adding white to color to create lighter values such as light blue or pink.

Shade is adding black to color to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red.

Shape: a two dimensional area with identifiable boundaries.

Geometric shapes: mechanically drawn lines, squares, rectangles, circles.

Organic shapes: shapes based on forms of nature, which are usually rounded, irregular and curving.

Emphasis is given to an area within the design because that area is meant to be seen or is more important to be noticed when compared to other places of the design. Emphasis creates a center of interest.

Space: An art element that indicates areas between, around, above, below, or within something.

Negative space: The space NOT occupied by and object or figure, but circulating in and around it.

Positive space: The enclosed areas or objects in an artwork.

This is called actual texture. Actual texture may be rough, smooth, grainy, slick, gritty, etc.
