Elizabeth Murray 
The Sun and the Moon 
2005 
Oil on canvas on wood 
9'9” by 8'11” by 2” 
First glance – looks like a 
controlled explosion of 
colorful jigsaw puzzle pieces 
Further look – Pink-red figure, 
a person stepping over a cat, 
a speech bubble, a window 
frame 
Strikes a balance between 
abstraction and 
representation. 
We notice range of colors 
Some lines that suggest 
texture (within objects)

Eight terms to analyze this Painting are called the 
Visual Elements: 
Line, Shape, Mass, Light, Value, Color, Texture, 
Space 
These can be used by any artist when creating a 
piece 
In the 20th century Time and Motion were added to 
the traditional list of elements.
Keithe Haring 
Untitled 
1982 
Vinyl paint on vinyl tarpaulin 
72 by 72” 
Thickly brushed green lines to 
portray a winged merman and a 
dolphin 
Wavy lines – spiritual energy – 
symbolic 
In reality there is no line separating a 
body from the space around it, but 
Haring uses thick outlines around the 
figures and forms 
The wavy line is a symbol of 
perception. 
Our mind creates that boundary 
where the body is separate from the 
air around it, and we indicate this 
with a line in drawing

Contour and Outline 
An outline defines a two-dimensional 
shape 
Contours are the boundaries 
that we perceive of 2 
dimensional forms and 
contour lines are the lines that 
record those boundaries

Henri Cartier-Bresson 
Aquila, Abruzzi, 
Italy 1951 
Henri Cartier-Bresson uses line to 
show direction 
The “decisive moment” here is the 
woman being framed by the 
archway of the stair as she walks 
The happy visual coincidence is 
that the bread loaves she carries 
resemble the cobble stone street 
Our eyes slide down the railing and 
then see the cluster of people in 
the background 
Flat, horizontal lines don't seem to 
have any movement to us, vertical 
lines look like they are jutting 
straight down and have an 
assertive quality, but diagonal lines 
seem so speak to direction and 
action.

Gericault's work uses linear movement for emotional effect 
The wreck of the French government ship Medusa off North Africa in 1816, where only a few 
survived. 
Depicts the moment when they sight a rescue ship 
Two conflicting points of interest with line: the arms of the figures reaching up to the figure 
waving the shirt on the top right, and the the rope of the sail and the sail itself pull our eyes 
up to the top of the mast. This shows that the wind is moving us away from the desired 
direction. 
This creates a visual tension which helps the scene because it is an intense subject matter

Implied Lines 
Our eyes follow the curved line of the couples, starting at the front right. It isn't really a 
complete line, but our eyes fill in the blanks. 
Cythera is the mythological island of love 
Watteau is part of the Rococo movement where everything is over the top frilly, airy fairy, 
and depicts wealthy artistocrats in the works 
The statue of Venus in the right of the page points downward, which creates an implied line. 
Our eyes naturally want to follow where somebody points. 
The woman toward the centre who looks back also gives us an implied line to look back in 
that direction too

Shapes can be 
placed in two 
categories, 
geometric and 
organic. 
Geometric – 
square, triangle, 
circle etc. 
Organic – irregular 
and evoke things in 
nature

Feathers, diameter 27” 
upside down house-like shapes outlined in white are

A figure is the shape we detach and focus on 
A ground is the surrounding information, the 
background 
the shapes we perceive as figures we call positive 
space, and the background we call negative space.

more lines crossing each other create darker values, and

Stippling is another method of doing this where single dots

the further apart they are the lighter the values are

Hue – name of the color according to the categories of the color wheel 
Value – lightness or darkness, amount of white or black mixed in the color 
Intensity – adding black and white or some of the color on the opposite end of the color 
wheel to dull the color, or the purity of the color, like an unmixed red will be intense and 
highly saturated

Oil on canvas 
25 by 32” 
Optical Effects of Color 
Impressionist painters tinted 
the shadows in their paintings 
with the complimentary color 
of a nearby highlight 
warmer hues, high intensity 
and dark value of the color of 
an object make them look 
larger and closer 
Seurat used pointillism in his 
pieces, he did not blend the 
color but placed the tiny dots 
of pure color down beside 
each other. 
We see forms, but the colors 
are distinct enough to make it 
shimmer 
Violet, green, orange and red 
are used: complimentary 
colors being red and green, 
violet and orange

Edvard Munch 
The Scream 
1893 
Tempera and casein on 
cardboard 
36 by 29” 
Munch uses red to indicate 
horror, blood, and anguish, and 
we know this because of his 
diary: 
“I sensed a shriek passing through 
nature ... I painted this picture, 
painted the clouds as actual blood.” 
Unstable diagonal lines and 
swirling lines create the mood as 
well (contrast with Whistler, 
straight and calm horizon lines) 
Wavey figure in the foreground 
seems to be alone in screaming, 
the figures in the background 
don't seem to notice

Hiroshige's Riverside Bamboo Market, Kyobashi and Fireworks at Ryogoku both influenced

He went to Paris in the 1850's where a lot of people were collecting Japanese prints 
Goes both ways, in the 18th century, art in Japan was learning western techniques, and had 
incorporated linear perspective into their own styles (special type of print called Uki-e)

Richard Serra “I've learned a great deal from looking at and walking through 
architecture. It has enabled me to understand space in relation to movement.” 
Bellamy – first we confront it from the outside as an object, then we see the space and 
decide to walk inside it. Parts are narrower or wider within the space and so our sense 
of space changes as we go through it. The inner part is open to the sky and more 
spacious.

Cave would create Soundsuits out of 
discarded and re-used materials 
They are made to be worn and 
animated and create different sounds 
and personas 
The idea came out of his thinking 
about race after video came out of 
the Los Angeles police brutally 
beating an African-American man 
He wanted to repurpous sticks that 
had been discarded on the ground 
because they had been rejected and 
been called valueless like other 
African-Americans 
In the process he realized he made a 
suit where the race of the wearer 
couldn't be seen

Keithe Haring Untitled 1982 Vinyl paint on vinyl tarpaulin 72 by 72” Thickly brushed green lines to portray a winged merman and a dolphin Wavy lines – spiritual energy – symbolic In reality there is no line separating a body from the space around it, but Haring uses thick outlines around the figures and forms The wavy line is a symbol of perception. Our mind creates that boundary where the body is separate from the air around it, and we indicate this with a line in drawing Haring, Keith. Untitled. 1982.

  • 6. Henri Cartier-Bresson Aquila, Abruzzi, Italy 1951 Henri Cartier-Bresson uses line to show direction The “decisive moment” here is the woman being framed by the archway of the stair as she walks The happy visual coincidence is that the bread loaves she carries resemble the cobble stone street Our eyes slide down the railing and then see the cluster of people in the background Flat, horizontal lines don't seem to have any movement to us, vertical lines look like they are jutting straight down and have an assertive quality, but diagonal lines seem so speak to direction and action.

Thomas Eakins The Biglin Brothers Racing 1873 – 74 Oil on canvas, 24 1/8 by 36 1/8” Two boats in foreground are on a hint of a diagonal arms and oars provide the diagonal of the line and are where the force comes from The oar in the image is at the same angle as the clouds in the sky and the tree line to the left.

By Mark Getlein. New York: McGraw-Hill, 2013. Print. Gericault's work uses linear movement for emotional effect The wreck of the French government ship Medusa off North Africa in 1816, where only a few survived. Depicts the moment when they sight a rescue ship Two conflicting points of interest with line: the arms of the figures reaching up to the figure waving the shirt on the top right, and the the rope of the sail and the sail itself pull our eyes up to the top of the mast. This shows that the wind is moving us away from the desired direction. This creates a visual tension which helps the scene because it is an intense subject matter

Implied Lines Our eyes follow the curved line of the couples, starting at the front right. It isn't really a complete line, but our eyes fill in the blanks. Cythera is the mythological island of love Watteau is part of the Rococo movement where everything is over the top frilly, airy fairy, and depicts wealthy artistocrats in the works The statue of Venus in the right of the page points downward, which creates an implied line. Our eyes naturally want to follow where somebody points. The woman toward the centre who looks back also gives us an implied line to look back in that direction too

The Raven discovers the first humans hiding in a clam shell and encourages them to come into the world The shadows show us where the statue recedes and re-emerges, but this piece would need to be experienced in person in order to get the feeling of its mass.

Aztec, before 1521 Feathers, diameter 27” upside down house-like shapes outlined in white are organic.

Charles White uses hatching in order to describe shadow, more lines crossing each other create darker values, and leave spaces to describe light Stippling is another method of doing this where single dots are drawn and the denser parts create darker values, where the further apart they are the lighter the values are

Georges Seurat, Evening, Honfleur, 1886 Oil on canvas 25 by 32” Optical Effects of Color Impressionist painters tinted the shadows in their paintings with the complimentary color of a nearby highlight warmer hues, high intensity and dark value of the color of an object make them look larger and closer Seurat used pointillism in his pieces, he did not blend the color but placed the tiny dots of pure color down beside each other. We see forms, but the colors are distinct enough to make it shimmer Violet, green, orange and red are used: complimentary colors being red and green, violet and orange Seurat, Georges.

  • 25. Edvard Munch The Scream 1893 Tempera and casein on cardboard 36 by 29” Munch uses red to indicate horror, blood, and anguish, and we know this because of his diary: “I sensed a shriek passing through nature ... I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood.” Unstable diagonal lines and swirling lines create the mood as well (contrast with Whistler, straight and calm horizon lines) Wavey figure in the foreground seems to be alone in screaming, the figures in the background don't seem to notice Munch, Edvard.

Hiroshige's Riverside Bamboo Market, Kyobashi and Fireworks at Ryogoku both influenced Whistler's Nocturne in Blue and Gold (Old Battersea Bridge) He went to Paris in the 1850's where a lot of people were collecting Japanese prints Goes both ways, in the 18th century, art in Japan was learning western techniques, and had incorporated linear perspective into their own styles (special type of print called Uki-e)
