Study Notes
Geometric and Freeform Shapes
- Common geometric shapes include circle, square, and triangle.
- Geometric shapes are another term for free-form shapes, contrasting with those found in nature.
Forms and Spaces
- A house is considered a form, incorporating various three-dimensional shapes.
- Positive space refers to the actual shapes or forms in art, while negative space signifies the emptiness surrounding them.
Three-Dimensional Art
- Key words associated with three-dimensional art include over, under, through, behind, and around.
- Types of relief sculpture are classified as low relief and high relief.
- The three visible dimensions are height, width, and depth.
Perspective and Point of View
- Point of view affects how shapes and forms are perceived, leading to variations in interpretation among different viewers.
- Shapes and forms can be classified into manufactured or natural categories.
Natural vs Manufactured Shapes
- Natural shapes are created by environmental forces.
- Manufactured shapes are designed by humans, either handmade or through mass production.
Artistic Techniques and Effects
- Chiaroscuro alters the values in art, enhancing shading effects.
- Artists use overlapping, size differentiation, and placement to create perspective in their works.
- Overlapping occurs when one object conceals another, while size implies that larger objects seem closer.
Density and Shape Types
- Density refers to the mass of an object and how tightly packed its material is.
- Open forms include examples like open doors, whereas closed forms are represented by windowless structures.
Definitions of Shapes
- Shape is defined as a two-dimensional area
- Geometric shapes can be mathematically defined while freeform shapes are irregular and uneven.
Space and Holograms
- Space in art embodies the emptiness around, above, below, or within objects.
- Holograms are three-dimensional images created using laser technology.
Artistic Techniques and Effects
- The chiaroscuro technique focuses on light and dark arrangements to create depth.
- Highlights, small areas of white, emphasize brightness in artwork.
Types of Art and Perspective
- Types of three-dimensional art include architecture, sculpture, weaving, ceramics, and jewelry.
- Terms defining depth in art include converging lines, overlap, detail, and object placement.
- Linear perspective can be one-point or two-point, influencing the visual depth.
Understanding Density
- An object's density is determined by its mass and compactness.
