can refer to a three dimensional composition or object within
a 3D composition. A form has length, width and depth. Forms can be
either geometric or free-form
form
A measurement of length in one direction. The art
pieces presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. Three
dimensional shapes in paintings or drawings can often be created by
extra lines or by doing a net. Three dimensional art pieces occupy
physical space and can be perceived from all sides and angles.
dimension
Point moving in space and it is one of the most crucial
elements as everything begins with just a simple dot in space. That
transforms into lines and then drawings. Lines are used to create
shape, pattern, texture, space, movement and optical illusion in
design
line
This is an Italian term, which literally means ‘light-
dark’. In paintings the description refers to clear tonal contrasts
which are often used to suggest the volüme and modelling of the
subjects depicted.
chiaroscuro
Defines how light or dark a given color or hue can be. Values
are best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient from dark
to light. High contrast images have few tonal values in between
stronger hues like black and white.
value
In art balance refers to the use of artistic elements such
as line, texture, color and form in the creation of artworks in a way
that renders visual stability. It is through a reconciliation of
opposing forces that equilibrium or balance of elements is achieved
in art.
balance
Placing two or more things side by side, often with the
intension of comparing or contrasting the elements
juxtapose
n art refers to making objects appear closer or further
away and making a two-dimensional image seem three-dimensional.
depth
is the percieved surface quality of a work of art. The
texture atimulates two different senses, sight and touch.
texture
is a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of
beauty and taste it examines subjective and sensori-emotional values
or sometimes called judgements of sentiment and taste
aesthetic
is the representation of mass in an artwork or a sculpture.
The drawing of the volume is made to represent the magnitude or
scale of an object and the space the object occupies.
volume
thought of as organization of the element of arts
according to the principles of art. “Putting together” and (can apply
to any work of art) that is arranged using conscious thought.
composition
refers to the dimensions of a composition and
relationships between height, width and depth. How proportion used
will affect how realistic or stylised something seems.
proportion
refers to the representation of objects in three
dimensional space on the two dimensional surface of a picture.
perspective
Color is an element consisting of hues of which there are
properties: hue (what color family it belongs to), chroma or intensity
and value. Color is present when light strikes an object and it is
reflected back into the eye, a reaction to a hue arising in the optic
nerve.
color
means looking back. An art exhibit that cover an
artist’s entire career is.
retroperspective
is the principle of art that indicates movement by the
repetition of element sor objects (in visual rhythm you receive
through your eyes rather than through your ears) Visual rhythm is
created by repeated positive shapes seperated by negative shapes
are like the beats in music.
rhythm
is a copy of another work of art. It could be a
copy of painting, drawing or of an original print. There is no creative
process involved. Prints commanly called limited edition prints.
reproduction
is a technique which is a fine shading meant to produce a
soft transition between colors and tones in order to achieve a more
believable image. It is more often used by making subtle gradations
that do not include lines or borders, from areas of light to areas of
dark. Leonardo Da Vinci was the most prominent practitioner of
sfumato, based on his research in optics and human vision.
sfumato
refers to the visual appearance of a work of art that relates
it to the other Works by the same artist or one form the same
period, training, location school, art movement or archeological
culture.
style
is the principle of art that creates cohesiveness by
stressing the similarities of seperate but related parts. Spefically
harmony uses the elements of art as avehicle to create a sense of
togetherness amongst otherwise separate parts.
harmony
is the space that surrounds the painting. It is the
only way with which the painting relates to the surrounding at the
very first place it is where your sight is tricked in to distance.
background
refers to the intensity and vividness of a color. It is
the strength of a surface color, its degree of visual difference from
neutral grey.
saturation
is where an artist adds black to a color to darken it down.
shade
is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which are either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc.) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, etc.)
still life
is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms, and how they integrate with natural or man-made features, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.
landscape
is a drawing of the human form in any of its various shapes and postures using any of the drawing media. The term can also refer to the act of producing such a drawing. The degree of representation may range from highly detailed, anatomically correct renderings to loose and expressive sketches.
figure
is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
portrait
is a planographic printmaking process in which a design is drawn onto a flat stone and affixed by means of a chemical reaction. Lithography is a printing process that uses a flat stone on which the image areas are worked using a greasy substance so that the ink will adhere to them by, while the non-image areas are made ink-repellent.
lithography
(traditionally called silkscreen printing; also known as serigraphy and serigraph printing) is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink (or dye) onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.
serigraphy
is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (incised) in the metal.[1] In modern manufacturing, other chemicals may be used on other types of material. As a method of printmaking, it is, along with engraving, the most important technique for old master prints, and remains in wide use today
etching
is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a printing press.
linolium print
is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper. Each page or image is created by carving a wooden block to leave only some areas and lines at the original level; it is these that are inked and show in the print, in a relief printing process. Carving the blocks is skilled and laborious work, but a large number of impressions can then be printed.
wood print
is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction.[3] It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving,[4] planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures.[5] The term comes from Latin architectura; from Ancient Greek ἀρχιτέκτων (arkhitéktōn) 'architect'; from ἀρχι- (arkhi-) 'chief', and τέκτων (téktōn) 'creator'. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.[6]
architecture
is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.[
photography
was a movement in the arts in the first half of the twentieth century that rejected traditional values and techniques, and emphasized the importance of individual experience. The terms modernism and modern art are generally used to describe the succession of art movements that critics and historians have identified since the realism of Gustav Courbet and culminating in abstract art and its developments in the 1960s.
modernism
rejects concepts of rationality, objectivity, and universal truth. Instead, it emphasizes the diversity of human experience and multiplicity of perspectives. Postmodern art rejected the traditional values of modernism, and instead embraced experimentation with new media and art forms including intermedia, installation art, conceptual art, multimedia, performance art, and identity politics.
post-modernism
is from a Latin word meaning "pulled away, detached," and the basic idea is of something detached from physical, or concrete, reality. It is frequently used of ideas, meaning that they don't have a clear applicability to real life, and of art, meaning that it doesn't pictorially represent reality. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.[1]
abstract art
is a modernist movement, initially in poetry and painting, originating in Northern Europe around the beginning of the 20th century. Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas. Expressionism refers to art in which the image of reality is distorted in order to make it expressive of the artist's inner feelings or ideas.
