    Study Notes

    Dimensions & Space

    • There are 3 dimensions of space: length, height, and width
    • Artists can also incorporate texture and color into their work

    Line

    • Lines can be used to create different shapes and forms
    • In calligraphy, the line can create a visual representation of a written symbol
    • Gesture, or the way a line is drawn, can represent different qualities, such as a sense of movement or rigidity
    • Contour lines are lines that follow the shape of an object, and they can be used in mapmaking to indicate the shape of a landscape

    Mass/Volume

    • Volume has three dimensions: length, width, and height
    • Closed forms are volumes that are not pierced or perforated
    • Open forms are volumes that are pierced or perforated, and they allow for more light and space to pass through
    • Positive space is the space occupied by a volume, while negative space is the empty space within a volume

    Perspective

    • Perspective is a technique for representing three-dimensional objects in two-dimensional space
    • One-point perspective uses a horizon line and one main vanishing point to create the illusion of depth
    • Two-point perspective uses a horizon line and two vanishing points to create the illusion of greater depth
    • Three-point perspective incorporates the recession of space in a third, vertical direction above or below the horizon line
    • Atmospheric perspective is a technique for representing depth by using color and focus. Objects in the distance appear lighter and bluer than those that are closer to the viewer

    Color

    • Color can be either subtractive or additive.
    • Subtractive color mixing starts with the primary colors of red, yellow, and blue.
    • Additive color, or transmission color, occurs when light is added, and the primary hues are red, green, and blue.
