Study Notes
Elements of Art
- Line: Structure and shape, guides the viewer's attention, and expresses emotion or movement
- Shape: Basic forms within a composition; provides organization and creates patterns
- Color: Evokes mood, expresses emotions, and creates visual interest. Symbolism and focal point highlighting.
- Space: Determines the relationship between objects. Depth, perspective, openness, and confinement.
- Texture: Tactile quality; visual and physical interest. Indicates how surfaces would feel.
- Value: Contrast between light and dark. Depth, emphasis, and solidity.
- Form: Represents three-dimensional objects; adds depth and realism.
Transcreation in Art
- Adaptation of creative works by reinterpreting them for new cultural contexts. Preserves essence and purpose.
- Creative adaptation and cultural sensitivity are key.
- Examples:
- Vincent Van Gogh's "The Courtesan" and "Bridge in the Rain," inspired by Japanese prints.
- Rodin's "The Thinker" influences sculptures addressing contemporary issues.
Factors Influencing Transcreation
- Distortion: Changing characteristics, like shape, color, or form. Ex: Van Gogh's "Bridge in the Rain" reinterprets Hiroshige's woodblock print.
- Transformation: Changing medium or context. Ex: DalÃ's "Persistence of Memory" adapted into a 3D digital model.
- Appropriation: Using elements from existing work to create something new. Ex: Van Gogh's "The Courtesan" using elements from Keisai Eisen's woodblock print.
Principles of Art
- Provide guidelines for organizing elements within a composition.
- Enhance the overall impact and aesthetic quality.
- Unity: All elements work together harmoniously to create a cohesive whole.
- Balance: Distribution of visual weight. Symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.
- Emphasis: Focal point that attracts the viewer's attention. Achieved through contrast, size, or placement.
- Contrast: Noticeable difference between elements, enhancing their strengths.
- Proportion: Size relationships between elements, ensuring harmony and scale.
- Pattern: Arrangement of alternating or repeated elements.
- Variety: Multiple elements used to engage the viewer's attention.
Rule of Thirds
- Dividing an image into thirds horizontally and vertically.
- Focal points are where the lines intersect.
- Emphasizing areas within these intersecting points can enhance the composition.
- Example: Samuel Peploe's "Still Life with Coffee Pot" uses the Rule of Thirds.
