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.
