Study Notes
Three-Dimensional and Two-Dimensional Art
- Three-dimensional art has height, width, and depth, creating a sense of volume and space.
- Two-dimensional art includes only height and width, lacking depth.
Elements of Art
- Fundamental vocabulary of art includes line, shape, form, volume, mass, texture, value, space, color, motion, and time.
Modeling Techniques
- 3-D modeling uses computer-generated imagery to create the illusion of three-dimensional objects that can display movement.
Important Definitions
- Form: Objects defined in three dimensions.
- Volume: The space an object occupies or encloses.
- Mass: Illusion of weight, density, and bulk in volume.
- Scale: Size of an object or artwork relative to others.
Shapes and Surfaces
- Shape: Two-dimensional areas defined by lines or color changes.
- Plane: Flat two-dimensional surfaces for drawing or painting; can also be implied through light interactions.
- Texture: Surface quality of artwork, described as fine/coarse or detailed/lacking detail.
Types of Forms
- Geometric Form: Predictable, mathematically derived shapes with defined planes and curves.
- Organic Form: Unpredictable, irregular shapes resembling the natural world.
Art Presentation
- Relief: Raised form against a flat background; example includes coin designs.
- In the Round: Freestanding sculptures that can be viewed from any angle.
- Fascia: Any side of a building, typically the front or entrance.
Composition and Design
- Foreground: The part of a work closest to the viewer.
- High Relief: Deep projections from the background in carved panels.
- Bas Relief: Slightly raised carvings that barely project from the surface.
Artistic Concepts
- Stela (stelae): Upright stone slabs decorated with inscriptions or relief carvings.
- Composition: Overall design and organization of an artwork.
- Freestanding: Sculptures independent of walls that allow a 360-degree view.
Focal Point and Negative Space
- Focal Point: Center of interest that draws viewer attention to key elements.
- Negative Space: Empty spaces created by positive shapes in the artwork.
Contrast and Artistic Movements
