1. Intro to 2D Design Marcel Duchamp, LHOOQ

2. In this course, we will be thinking about how and why we appreciate two-dimensional imagery. What is the difference between a design that is successful, exciting, and intriguing to view, and one that is just humdrum, that we quickly scan by?

3. What are the parts of a picture? And what tools do artists and designers use to make a successful piece?

4. Or, what are the elements of art and principles of design?

5. The elements of art (parts of a picture) are: LINE

6. Shape

7. Value

8. Color

9. Texture

10. Artists utilize the Principles of Design (rules of applying those parts) to utilize these elements in pleasing and cohesive ways.

11. The principles of design include Balance

12. Unity

13. Variety

14. Scale/Proportion

15. Rythm

16. Emphasis

17. The Illusion of Space

24. Implied lines: direct our attention through an image without drawing a literal line. Perugino

25. Broken Lines

26. Line Orientation How line relates to the page: Horizontal lines Vertical lines Diagonal lines Curved lines Diagonal and Curved lines are the most dynamic, suggestive of movement

27. Horizontal lines are the most stable

29. Vertical lines are more dynamic

30. Gustav Klimt

31. Horizontal lines placed on vertical lines suggest, power and stability. Greek Temple

32. Diagonal lines suggest movement, are most dynamic

33. We tend to read diagonals that move from lower left to upper right as moving upward.

47. Matthew Ritchie, Mainline

48. Line weight: is the thickness of a line and pressure used to make that line.

49. R. Crumb, Self-Portrait and Untitled

50. Van Gogh, Trees Drawing Varying the Line Weight can make similar lines stand out from one another
