The Language of Art
Have you ever heard a person described as “wearing many hats”? Saying a person wears many hats means he or she is good at a number of things. An artist—a person who uses imagination and skill to communicate ideas in visual form—wears many hats. Among the hats artists wear is one labeled “scientist.” Wearing this hat, artists experiment with the effects of light on objects. Wearing the mathematician’s hat, they carefully measure distances between objects. Wearing the hat of writer, they tell stories and record events. In this book, you will learn about the different ways in which artists have used these skills over the centuries. You will also meet specific artists and learn about their creations.
THE ARTIST’S LANGUAGE
Like other professionals, artists “speak” a language all their own. Just as the mathematician uses numbers, so the artist uses line. Much in the way musicians communicate through notes and sounds, artists speak in color, value, and shape. The writer relies on words, sentences, and paragraphs; the artist on form, space, and texture.
These seven terms—line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture—make up the artist’s vocabulary. The terms are grouped together under the heading elements of art. These are the basic visual symbols an artist uses to create works of art. An artist’s success depends on how well he or she uses these elements.
Using the Artist’s Vocabulary
When you look at an artwork, it is not always clear where one element ends and another begins. Study the artworks in Figures 6–1 and 6–2. You do not see the elements of form and color in the first or the element of line in the second. Instead, you see the works as a whole. As you examine each work, your eye “reads” all the elements together. In fact, it is the careful blending of elements that allows you to see an artwork as the artist meant it to be seen. Taken together, the elements in Figure 6–1 “add up” to a basket of apples and a bottle. The lines in Figure 6–2 cleverly suggest a familiar farm animal. Can you identify it?

“Reading” the Artist’s Vocabulary
Think back to when you first learned to read. You did not start with a book. Rather,
you began by reading a word at a time. This is how you will learn the vocabulary of art. You will learn about the elements of art one at a time.
Each of the remaining lessons in this chapter treats one or more elements. In later chapters, you will learn about other terms that are central to the practice and study of art.

Ex. 5. Контрольне читання та переклад тексту:
Paul Cézanne (1839–1906)
Cultural connection. Although he is sometimes associated with the French Impressionist painters, Paul Cézanne was a leader in the movement toward abstraction in painting that became known as Post- Impressionism. Born in Aix-en-Provence, France, in 1839, Cézanne exhibited a few times with Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro. It soon became apparent, however, that Cézanne’s style and vision were clearly unique.
While the Impressionists were concerned with the effects of light on objects, Cézanne was more interested in showing the basic form and structure of objects. He once said, “Everything in nature is modeled after the sphere, the cone, and the cylinder. One must learn to paint from these simple figures.”
Look at Figure 6–1. How did Cézanne use these “simple figures” in his still life?
