Study Notes
Vector Images
- Common formats for vector images include SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), AI (Adobe Illustrator), and EPS (Encapsulated PostScript).
- Vector images are resolution-independent and can be scaled without losing quality.
Seven Elements of Art
- Shape: Two-dimensional forms, either geometric or organic.
- Form: Three-dimensional objects that have volume and occupy space.
- Line: The path created by a moving point; can vary in width, direction, and length.
- Color: The hue, saturation, and brightness that contribute to the mood and perception of a work.
- Value: The lightness or darkness of a color, essential for creating contrast and depth.
- Space: The area around and between objects, including positive space (filled) and negative space (empty).
- Texture: The surface quality of an object that can be tactile (actual texture) or visual (implied texture).
Principles of Design
- Movement: Guides the viewer’s eye through the art piece, creating a sense of action.
- Emphasis: Draws attention to a focal point, often achieved through contrast in size, color, or repetition.
- Harmony: Creates a cohesive and pleasing composition through the use of similar elements.
- Variety: Introduces different elements to create visual interest and prevent monotony.
- Balance: Distributes visual weight, can be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
- Contrast: Highlights differences between elements to create visual interest and emphasis.
- Proportion: Refers to the size relationships between different parts of a design.
- Pattern: Repetitive use of shapes, colors, or textures to create visual rhythm.
- Unity: Ensures all elements work together as a whole, creating a sense of cohesion.
Emphasis
- An artistic technique used to draw attention to a specific object or area.
- Can be achieved by increasing size, brightness, repetition, or through movement.
