Value--Mark Making

Mark making is a term used to describe the different lines, patterns, and textures we create in an artwork. It applies to any art material(s) we use on any surface(s), not only paint on canvas or pencil on paper. A dot made with a pencil, a line created with a pen, a swirl painted with a brush, these are all types of mark making.

Mark making can be loose or structured and controlled such as hatching. Most artists work with a variety of marks in every piece, but there are some styles where you use just one, such as Pointillism.

Element of Art--Shape

Everything has a shape, right? But what exactly is a shape? Shape is a flat area surrounded by edges or an outline.

Artists use all kinds of shapes. Geometric shapes are precise and regular, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. They are often found in human-made things, like building and machines while organic shapes are found in nature. These shapes may look like leaves, flowers, clouds—things that grow, flow, and move. 

What shapes do you recognize in Beasts of the Sea? Can you find shapes that remind you of fish? a seahorse? spiral shells? waving seaweed?  eels? curvy coral? What about geometric shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles?
