Study Notes
Key Art Concepts
- Space: Refers to the area surrounding and between objects in an artwork.
- Positive Space: The portion of a composition occupied by the subject or main object, defining what is visually significant.
- Negative Space: The area around the subject that helps to delineate its boundaries; crucial for creating balance and harmony in compositions.
Composition and Techniques
- Composition: Involves the arrangement of elements and principles in art to create a cohesive whole.
- Linear Perspective: A method for depicting three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, enhancing realism and depth.
Perspective Details
- Converging Line: Lines that seem to approach each other and meet at a single point on the horizon, contributing to the illusion of depth.
- Vanishing Point: The point on the horizon line where receding parallel lines converge, guiding the viewer's perception of space.
Types of Perspective
- One Point Perspective: A drawing technique that utilizes a single vanishing point on the horizon to depict how objects diminish in size with distance.
- Two Point Perspective: A technique involving two vanishing points located on the horizon line, showing how objects recede in both directions, enhancing the depth effect in artwork.
