Study Notes
Kinds of Perspective
- Aerial perspective depicts distances through tonal or color gradations, where objects become lighter and less distinct with distance.
The Art Element of Space
- Space refers to the artist's use of the surface for a work and the portrayal of depth, encompassing dimensions in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works.
- Space can be categorized as positive (filled) or negative (empty) and can also convey illusionistic depth.
Kinds of Space
- Positive space involves areas of interest within the artwork, while negative space encompasses the surrounding areas that highlight the subjects.
Shape, Form, and Volume
- Shape, form, and volume represent distinct parts of artworks, with 'form' denoting the overall design and structure.
The Art Element of Form
- Form applies to three-dimensional objects like sculptures and pottery, appearing as either geometric (having hard lines) or organic (curvy and free-form).
Types of Form
- Organic forms have irregular outlines and are asymmetrical, typically representing natural occurrences.
- Geometric forms align with defined regular shapes, such as squares, circles, and spheres.
Volume
- Volume signifies the space occupied by an object in three dimensions, reflecting solidity and thickness.
The Elements of Visual Arts: Line
- Line is a continuous mark that outlines or describes shapes, capable of conveying various textures and emotions through its thickness and direction.
- Types of lines include actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and contour lines.
Vertical Lines
- Vertical lines convey action and balance, suggesting forcefulness and dignity.
Horizontal Lines
- Horizontal lines evoke calmness and serenity, creating a sense of repose.
Color Attributes
- Tints represent values above the normal, while shades indicate values below it.
- Psychological associations of colors: Black symbolizes death, white signifies purity, red embodies anger, and green denotes happiness.
Meanings of Colors Conveyed by the Rose
- Red roses symbolize courage, yellow indicates freedom, and combinations like red and white convey unity.
Texture
- Texture relates to the tactile characteristics of surfaces, distinguished between actual texture (physically felt) and implied texture (suggested by visual depiction).
Perspective
- Perspective influences how distance alters the visual appearance of objects, aiding spatial relationship judgments.
Kinds of Perspective: Linear Perspective
- Linear perspective uses converging lines to create an illusion of distance, involving directional lines and object sizing.
Three Main Types of Lines
- Repetition uses multiple lines within corners, contrast arises from opposing lines, and transition lines connect subsequent workflow elements.
Color Wheel
- A color wheel illustrates relationships between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, indicating how colors mix and relate to one another.
