Chapter 5/8:
Balance/ shape and Volume:
- Describe the difference between balance and imbalanced work?
- Balance typically leaves an observer feel more comfortable, whereas imbalance leads to a sense of unease
- 2. What is horizontal and vertical placement?
- The positioning of an element in design to create balance or imbalance
- 3. What is symmetrical balance, and give an art historical example?
- Shapes are repeated in the same positions on either side of a vertical axis. Many tile patterns found in Ottoman architecture contain symmetry in their design.
- 4. How can asymmetrical balance be achieved with value/color/ shape and texture?
- When creating an imbalance of color and value, black against white, a smaller dark object has the same balance as a larger and lighter element. A small textured figure can balance a larger and untextured shape.
- 5. What is radial balance?
- When all elements of a design radiate or circle out from a common central point.
- 6. Give a good example of a piece of artwork?
- Circle Limit IV, Heaven and Hell- Mc Escher
- 7. What is a shape and how does it differ from volume and mass?
- A shape is an enclosed space. The same shape can encompass many different mass and volumes, wheras those two principles remain constant
- 8. What is the difference between naturalism and distortion in art and design?
- Naturalism depicts the subject as it would appear to the naked eye. Distortion provides a view of the subject that is not present in nature.
- Define abstraction: How is your fire and water panel abstract? What concepts are informing your work on this project?
- My fire and water panel is abstract because it is representing the theme in a form that is not too literal. I am trying to depict a concept of sensation and tranformation.
Chapter 8: Shape and volume:
Define these terms in art:
Define these terms in art:
- 1. Non-objective
- art that is not representational
- 2. Curvilinear
- art that is represented by a curved line
- 3. Rectilinear
- art formed by straight lines
- 4. Positive and negative shapes
- Positive space is the subjective shapes in a design, the negative shapes are what appear around the elements of the design
Chapter 10:
- 1. List three ways to depict illusion of depth
- Size, Overlapping, Vertical Location
- 2. What is one point perspective?
- When a single point is placed on the horizon line and all the lines at right angles to the plain of the canvas converge toward that point
- 3. Two point perspective?
- all edges recede to two points on the horizon line
- 4. What is an isometric projection?
- three coordinate axes appear equally foreshortened and the angles between any two of them are 120 degrees
- 5. What is equivocal space? Find an example
- when the order of planes in a design are not made clear to the spectator.
