Which element is the most emotional and physiological?
|
color
|
|
|
What is a tint?
What is a shade? what is a tone? |
tints (mixed with white), shades (color mixed with black), tone (mixed with grey)
|
|
|
What is simultaneous contrast, and what is After Image?
|
Simultaneous Contrast: Opposites intensity one another. (opposites intensify) So, if you want something to look very white, put it with tons of black. It's fact, not theory. It's just how it works.
After-Image: Your brain retains an impression - in the opposite- for a very small amount of time. If you see someone wearing a white shirt and you stare for a long time, when you close your eyes, you see them wearing black for a second. Your brain records color opposites for a period longer than you see them. |

Unity and variety:The effort to find difference or similarity in something. Same vs. different.
- Monotones: something that's so 'one thing' (like hitting the high C) over again, that we just can't stand. it's not interesting and it's boring. - Chaotic: No perceivable order, so random. We need a mix of both monotones and chaos - but making them equal is too predictable. But the best things lean slightly one way. It keeps you interested and engaged. Dogs bark at strangers, meaning we're made uncomfortable by things that are new. |

|
Emphasis and subordination: You emphasize something and subordinate other things. It spotlights something. Camo is the ultimate subordination.
|
.
|
|
|
Scale and Proportions: Scale is the expected size of something (when you hear 'mini poodle', what size do you expect it to be?) It's size in relation to the norm/ Proportion is a size in relation to the whole. Like if a nose in a painting is out of proportion.

Balance: There's classic/formal balance, meaning that it balances. Like the spori. It's the same on both sides, like a teater totter. symmetrical - its the same on both sides.
Assymetrical Balance is the snow building, meaning that it's not the same on both sides, but it still balances. One might look bigger, heavier, or just a bit different from the other. see page 121! Radial balance: balance from the center. Balance is never mesured in art, it's always felt |

|
what is line quality?
|
Line quality: the character/personality of a line.
Line quality: We like how wood looks because it varies and it's interesting. That's why cheap plastic tables are made to look like wood. It's all because of line quality. |
|
|
what is optical mixing?
|
Optical mixing: bunches of different colored dots that your eye mixes for you, like the George Seraut photo. Your eye mixes all printed photos.
|
|
|
Pointillism: thousands of dots places next to each other, rather than actual strokes. Like seraut.
Mechanical mixing: You mix two colors manually and get a different colors. |
.
|
|
|
Pattern: a repetitive design
|
.
|
|
|
Line: A path of action or 'The abstract nessessity', meaning that you can see how lines were made, and you can see that they are literally and actually LINES. There are lines literally everywhere you are. They're an abstract nessessity meaning there are a bunch of lines written, but your brain recognizes that line as something. Different lines create different effects.

Shape: A line turned back on its self. There are two types of shapes: organic and geometric. A geometric one is a line that turns back on itself and is angular. Organiz is kinda fuzzy. Gemoetric is strong and angular. Angular: suit. Organic: fuzzy sweater. People look kinda organic, but mankind likes to create angular things (architecture). Nature is organic and nature made. Shape conveys messages.

describe negative and positive shape
|
Negative and positive shape: In a still life, the things on the table - the main objects- are positive. All the background things are negative. In a chair, the form is the positive, the shape in the center (the hole) is the negative.

Texture: Rough vs. Smoothe. How smoothley you paint and sculp is up to the artist. LITERAL texture: a rough wall or celing. IMPLIED texture: A painting that is smooth, but is painted so that is looks textural.

what's more important: color or value?
|
value!
|
|
|
Value: the darkness vs. the lightness of something. There's a 'value scale' with black at the bottom and white on top. It's a 9 step scale. 9 is white, and it's the highest value.The ends are called high key and low key. Dark is considered somber and scary, light is uplifting. Halloween colors are intended to scare us, Easter is meant to make us happy. There are cultrual expectations based on value.

describe value and chiaroscuro
|
.
|
|
|
Chiaroscuro: Makes something look 3D on a flat surface. Like the use of dark and light. Like a ball with a light on it, there's a spot of intense light (highlight), an area of bright (area of light), and an era that's half and half (half tone). Then there's a pitch dark area (core). The ball also casts a shadow (cast shaow). and a light reflection at the very end (reflected light).

What is Schurmato?
|
smoke, a subtle way of shading to make things appear realistic.
|
|
|
Bright colors create appetite, but they're hard to live with on a long-term basis. That's why fast food stores are bright, and why rooms are painted nutrual tones. Companies with products in stores make their products stand out. Red meat is paired with fake grass in stores to make it stand out better.

The Color Wheel: Peace sign with 3 sections. Red, yellow and blue. They're primary (first). After that, there's secondary colors from those mixes (purple, green, orange). There are then ''Tertiary colors", when you take a 1 and a 3 and make a 3. This is color theory. If you strike a line through the wheel, you get cool and warm colors. This is color temperature. Reds are hot, violets are cool.

What are the secondary colors? How do you get a Tertiary color? What do you call all these things? |

Intensity - the brightness or dullness of a color

Monochromatic: One-color/ black and white.
Analogus: Color + its adjacent. Like nature abhors a vaccume. they're sim Complementary- A color + its opposite on the color wheel Split Complementary - Tartains and plaids. it goes straight down the color line until the middle and then splits. like a peace sign. if that makes sense. near opposite. Triadic: triangle. - Red yellow and blue. it's 3 opposites. |

Linear perspective: the idea of space. It helps you represent depth by giving lines vanishing points. Lines converge to a vanishing point to give persoective
Atmospheric Perspective: As things go away from you, they get lighter, cooler, and less distinct. Like seeing the distant mountains. |
