1. PLEASE NOTE
Due to copyright reasons, the images in this power point have been removed, leaving only the text left over from the slide show.
Also please note, other terms and names may have been given verbally by the instructor and were never a part of this slide show. Students are ultimately responsible for taking notes seen in slides, mentioned verbally, images seen in slide shows and in videos.
The current 8th edition of Sayre’s A World of Art is the book used in this class for lecture, tests and quizzes. Students may definitely find an older edition of the text is sufficient for them, but please note that images may be numbered differently and appear in different chapters between editions and that older editions may not have 100% all the images the newest 8th edition has.
Thank you.

3. Chapter 4
Space

4. Form – The literal mass and shape of an object or figure
Form – The literal mass and shape of an object or figure. More generally, the materials used to make a work of art, the ways in which these materials are used in terms of the formal elements of art (line, light, color, etc…), and the composition that results.

5. Composition – the organization of formal elements in a work of art

6. Formal elements of art – the purely visual aspects of art and architecture. Line, space, levels of light and dark, color, and texture are among the elements that contribute to a work’s form.

7. Shape Area Mass Volume Negative Space

8. Shading Hatching Reserve Scale Overlap

9. Creating a sense of depth in an image

10. Reserve – an area of a work of art that retains the original color and texture of the untouched surface or ground, within the formal area of the artwork.

11. Scale – a relationship in size between completely separate objects
Scale – a relationship in size between completely separate objects. Proportion - a relationship in size between parts of the same whole. For instance, a comparison in size between your hands and feet is a discussion of ‘proportion’

13. Scale and Overlap used to create sense of depth

14. Linear Perspective Perspective One-point perspective Vanishing Point Vantage Point Lines of Perspective Frontal Recession Diagonal Recession

15. One Point Linear Perspective

16. Frontal Recession – when vantage point is directly in front of vanishing point.

17. Foreshortening – when foreground objects’ size is reduced for usually focal emphasis. Things that we would expect to see larger in the foreground have their size reduced, an intentional rejection of linear perspective.
