THE STRUCTURE AND PURPOSES OF VISUAL ART
2
Fine Arts How the image or object looks Aesthetics- pleasure from looking at object. Drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and photography Applied Arts Functional weaving, ceramics, furniture making, jewelry design, Architecture Pleasing and Functional 1.1 TYPES, PURPOSES & ELEMENTS
3
Artistic Expression Ceremonial Narrative Functional – artistic objects used in every day life Persuasive – advertising, marketing, propaganda PURPOSES OF ART
4
1.Line is defined as a mark made on a surface by a moving point Lines can be actually drawn or painted, or they can be suggested or implied. Directional Size Texture Value ELEMENTS OF ART
5
When light bounces off an object. Hue the color’s name, such as “red” or “blue.” value of hue (lightness or darkness) intensity of hue (brightness or dullness). Colors can express emotions and mood. 2.COLOR
6
COLOR WHEEL
7
Three primary hues (red, blue, and yellow) are mixed in certain combinations to create the remaining hues. PRIMARY COLORS
8
The secondary hues (orange, violet, and green) are made by mixing two primary hues together Red + Yellow = Orange Blue + Red = Violet Yellow + Blue = Green SECONDARY COLORS
9
The six intermediate hues are made by mixing a primary hue with a secondary hue nearest each other Red + Orange = Red-orange Red + Violet = Red-violet Blue + Violet = Blue-violet Blue + Green = Blue-green Yellow + Green = Yellow- green Yellow + Orange = Yellow- orange. INTERMEDIATE COLORS
10
Monochromatic color scheme - different values of a single hue. For example: dark blue, medium blue, and light blue. Analogous color scheme - hues that are next to each other on the color wheel and connected by same hue. For example: red, red- orange, orange, and red- violet. COLOR SCHEME
11
Complementary color scheme - hues opposite from one another Triadic color scheme - three hues that forming an equilateral triangle OTHER COLOR SCHEMES
12
Degree of lightness or darkness of a color Add white to make a lighter color - Tint Add black to make a darker color - Shade Examples: Red + white = pink Red + black = maroon 1.2 CONTINUG ART ELEMENTS 3.VALUE
13
Definition: An enclosed area with an edge or outline Shapes are flat, two dimensional, and have only length and width Organic-based on nature 4.SHAPE Different types of shape are: Square Rectangle Triangle Circle Oval
14
Three-dimensional, having length, width, and depth Forms are either geometric or organic 5.FORM Different types of forms: Pyramid Cone Cylinder Sphere
15
The perceived distance or area between, around, above, below, or within a given area. Artists have two types of space: Positive Space which is filled by elements/objects Negative Space which is left empty. 6.SPACE
16
Foreground area lowest on the picture plane. Middle ground between the foreground and background. Background highest on the picture plane. ILLUSION OR DEPTH OF DISTANCE
18
Atmospheric perspective - hazy, low intensity color used in landscapes to give the illusion of being far away. Linear Perspective- recreate a 3D space on a 2D surface by having a vanishing point on the horizon line. PERSPECTIVE
19
The way a surface feels or how it looks like it would feel. You can describe texture by using words such as rough, smooth, hard, soft, slick, sticky, slippery… 7.TEXTURE
20
Balance- the visual equalization of the art elements in a work of art The three major types of balance: symmetrical balance asymmetrical balance radial balance 1.3 PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
21
Emphasizes differences between art elements. Sharp contrast draws attention and can direct a viewer to a focal point within an artwork. CONTRAST
22
The main idea or center of interest. (Focal Point) Example of emphasis would be Oath of the Horatii by David. EMPHASIS
23
UUsing the same elements over and over. EExample of repetition is Twenty Marylins by Andy Warhol. REPETITION
24
Repetition of an art element, typically shapes, line, or colors, used for surface decoration or ornamentation. PATTERN
25
The way of repeating art elements to produce the look and feel of rhythmic movement with a visual tempo or beat. Starry Night by Van Gogh RHYTHM
26
Principle of design that uses the elements to imply action or to cause the viewer’s eye to sweep over the artwork in a certain manner The Last Judgment by Michelangelo - an example of the principle of movement. MOVEMENT
27
The relationship in size of one component of an artwork to another. PROPORTION
28
The quality achieved when the art elements are combined in various combinations to increase visual interest. VARIETY
29
The principle of design that deals with a series of gradual changes between art elements. 2D shape to appear 3D TRANSITION/GRADATION
30
Refers to the visual quality that is achieved through use of art elements. UNITY
31
The 2D Art Process Drawing Painting Medium Watercolor Tempera Oil Acrylic The 3D Art Process Textiles Ceramics Sculpture Carving 1.4 ART MEDIA AND ART PROCESSES
32
The object or objects the make up the image/artwork. Representational: Portrait – an image of a person or group of people. Landscape – an image of a rural or urban environment. Still Life – an image of an inanimate (not human or animal) object or group of objects. Non-Representational: Abstract – an image which is based on a recognizable object that is altered or changed in some way; Non-Objective – an image that is not based anything recognizable; line, color and shape are often the emphasis.
