6 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Proportion  Hierarchical Proportion Change in the scale of objects to show importance. Artist Unknown, Little Warriors, Basalt Bas-relief sculpture Degas, Edgar. Dancers Practicing at the Bar. 1877

9 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Contrast/Light Directs the viewer’s eyes May identify the focal point

10 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Identify the Focal Point

11 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Space  Positive and Negative Space Use of space or lack of space adds to art Negative

12 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Color  Complementary Colors Opposite colors on the color wheel Create contrast By Socar Myles

13 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Color  Monochromatic Color Use of one color Black and white used to create tints and shades of that color Marc Chagall, Amants Sur Le Toit Louis Lozowick, 1892-1973

14 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a The Childhood of Christ, by Gerrit van Honthorst Color  Symbolism Color that signifies meaning  Red = royalty, blood; Blue = royalty, earth; White = purity, holiness; Green = fertility Limbourgh Brothers (German) 1370s/80s- 1416. Book of Hours

15 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Evaluation  Space Picasso divides the negative space (or background space) into angular areas of shades of gray.  Color Guernica is a mural made up of a monochromatic color scheme. It appears to be done in "Grayscale". There are no other colors used but the different values of gray.  Light No one area seems to be emphasized more than another. Picasso's use of white does make certain figures seem like they are closer to the viewer.  Balance The mural is informally balanced because the images and shapes do not provide symmetry.  Proportion Picasso deliberately distorts the proportion of the animals and figures he has created. The distortion is designed to create chaos and fear. The twisting and stretching of the figures contribute to the feeling of fear and chaos. About Guernica -depicts the Nazi’s bombing of Guernica - 11’ tall by 25.6’ wide

16 M U L 110 - I n t r o t o M u l t I m e d i a Can you identify the design principles in this graffiti art?  Color  Space  Light  Balance  Proportion
