Study Notes
Drawing and Observation
- Drawing by observation involves directly depicting subjects in front of you, without necessarily including every detail.
Tessellation
- Tessellation art involves covering a surface with geometric shapes that fit together like a jig-saw puzzle, leaving no gaps or overlaps.
Pattern
- A pattern is a regularity in the world or human-made design, where elements repeat in a predictable manner.
- Geometric patterns involve geometric shapes repeated like a wallpaper design.
Portraiture
- A portrait is a representation of a particular person, and a self-portrait is a portrait of the artist by themselves.
- Portraits can be vibrant, bright, and striking.
Symmetry
- Symmetry in art involves mirroring portions of an image across a symmetry line, with identical parts on either side.
Texture
- Texture refers to how something feels, and can be either actual or visual.
- There are two types of texture: actual texture and visual texture.
Guidelines and Colour
- Guidelines are general rules, principles, or pieces of advice to help with artistic creation.
- Colour theory is a practical guide for colour mixing and the visual effects of specific colour combinations.
- Colour terminology is based on the colour wheel.
Technique and Line
- Art techniques refer to the different methods and processes used to create art.
- A line is a mark made on a surface that joins different points, varying in length, width, direction, and shape.
Space and Dimension
- Space in art refers to the visual area or environment created by a work of art.
- Space can refer to the space within an object, between objects, or negative space.
- 2D refers to two-dimensional images or pictures that are flat rather than solid.
- 3D refers to three-dimensional objects with width, height, and depth.
Colour Theory
- Primary colours are red, yellow, and blue, which cannot be made by mixing other colours together.
- Secondary colours are colours made by mixing two primary colours, such as purple (blue and red), orange (yellow and red), and green (blue and yellow).
- Complementary colours are pairs of colours opposite each other on the colour wheel, creating the strongest contrast when placed together.
- Warm colours consist of orange, red, yellow, and combinations, evoking warmth and appearing to come closer.
- Cool colours consist of blue, green, and light purple, calming and soothing, and appearing to recede.
