Ch 1 - the nature of art

Ch 1 – The nature of art Cathedra – Barnett Newman, 1951, Oil on canvas art forms – An activity or a piece of artistic work that can be regarded as a medium of artistic expression. Music, dance, theater, literature, and the visual arts. visual arts – drawing, painting, sculpture, film, architecture and design work of art – The visual expression of an idea or experience formed with skill through the use of a medium. medium, media – A particular material along with its accompanying technique; a specific type of artistic technique or means of expression determined by the use of particular materials. mixed media – art made with a combination of different materials the arts – music, dance, theater, literature and visual arts Wheel of Time – Tibetan sand Mandala, 1997 collage – Technique of pasting cut-out or found elements into the space of the canvas. mandala – ” Sacred circle”: Buddhist diagram of the cosmos; sand painting; represents the impermanence of life The tree of Jesse – west facade, 1150 reasons for art – Day to Day, worship and ritual, personal expression, social causes, visual delight, art – the expression of application of creative skill and imagination Romare Bearden – African American artist, used collages to show expression, intrest of jazz and communication Dwelling – Yong Soon Min, 1994, Mixed Media Rocket to the Moon – Romare Bearden, 1971, Collage on board Heartland – Miriam Schapiro, 1985, Fabric and Acrylic Utilitarian – art that improves quality or surroundings Rembrandt – painted numerous self portraits Entertainment – arts function in middle ages Ch 2 – Awareness, Creativity, and Communication visualize – to use imagination and visual memory to preview events or plans before they occur Weston – used a time exposure of over two hours for his photograph of Pepper #30 beauty – often based on culturally accepted standards content & form – what we interpret; what we see Rodia – Italian tile setter who built the Watts Towers out of cast off materials Ugliness – Leonardo da Vinci’s variation of beauty as seen in his drawing Man Tricked by Gypsies Georgia O’Keeffe – American modern artists, know for paintings of flowers influenced by Japanese artists perception – To become aware through the senses, particularly through sight or hearing. aesthetics – The study and philosophy of the quality and nature of sensory responses related to, but not limited by, the concept of beauty. Within the art context: The philosophy of art focusing on questions regarding what are is, how it is evaluated, the concept of beauty, and the relationship between the idea of beauty and the concept of art. creativity – Ability to see (or to be aware) and to respond. subject – Objects depicted in representational art. form – In the broadest sense, the total physical characteristics of an object, event, or situation. folk art – Art of people who have had no formal, academic training, but whose works are part of an established tradition of style and craftsmanship. representational – Art in which it is the artist’s intention to present again or represent a particular subject; especially pertaining to realistic portrayal of subject matter. content – Meaning or message contained and communicated by a work of art, including its emotional, intellectual, symbolic, thematic, and narrative connotations. Tukutuku – Tukutuku panels are a traditional MÄ�ori art form. They are decorative wall panels that were once part of the traditional wall construction used inside meeting houses. (nonrepresentational art from New Zealand) trompe l’oeil – French for ” fool the eye.” A two-dimensional representation that is so naturalistic that it looks actual or real (or three-dimensional). abstract – Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be very slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational. nonrepresentational – Art without reference to anything outside itself — without representation. Also called nonobjective — without recognizable objects. visual metaphor – The representation of a person, place, thing, or idea by way of a visual image that suggests a particular association or point of similarity. Elliot Ervitt’s Florida (water pipe is metaphor for the bird with its curved neck and thin legs) iconography – The symbolic meanings of subjects and signs used to convey ideas important to particular cultures or religions, and the conventions governing the use of such forms. Ch 3 – Visual Elements The elements of art – line, shape, mass, space, time, motion, light, color, texture additive – Colors that are made from mixtures of light chiaroscuro – Italian ” light-dark”. The gradation of light and dark values in two-dimensional imagery; especially the illusion of rounded, three-dimensional form created through gradations of light and shade rather than line. compliments – Opposites on the color wheel are called texture – The surface/tactile quality of a work Pointillism – Painter Georges Seurat developed the painting technique using small dots of color monochromatic – Works of art that use variations of one hue are referred to as: purity – The saturation of a color is its plane – two dimensional picture surface lines – paths of action biomorphic shape – shapes based on natural forms figure/positive shapes – subject or dominant shapes ground/negative shapes – background areas in picture plane mass/form – the physical bulk of a solid body of material Water and Sky – Escher, 1938 figure ground reversal space – indefinable general receptacle of all things spatial – organized in space temporal – organized in time overlap – most basic way to achieve the effect of depth on a flat surface perspective – point of view or any means of representing three dimensional objects in space on a two dimensional surface vantage/viewpoint – single fixed position atmospheric/aerial perspective – nonlinear means for giving an illusion of depth isometric perspective – system for suggesting depth where parallel lines remain parallel Line – paths of action; indicate directions, define boundaries of shapes and spaces, imply volumes or solid masses, and suggest motion or emotion. Cross-hatching – use of fine parallel lines drawn closely together at right angles, to create the illusion of shade or texture in a drawing Implied line – A line in a composition that is not actually drawn. It may be a sight line of a figure in a composition, or a line along which two shapes align with each other. Shape – A two-dimensional or implied two-dimensional area defined by line or changes in value and/or color. or within the outer boundaries of a three dimensional object Geometric shape – precise and regular shape; circles, triangles, squares Organic shape – An irregular, non-geometric shape. A shape that resembles any living matter. Most organic shapes are not drawn with a ruler or a compass. Picture plane – The two-dimensional picture surface. Positive or figure shape – A figure or foreground shape, as opposed to a negative ground or background shape. Negative or ground shape – A background or ground shape seen in relation to foreground or figure shape(s). Figure-ground reversal – as the eye shifts across the work, the positive (figure) and negative (background) spaces reverse. The phenomenon when positive and negative space change places – as seen in Escher’s Sky and Water I painting Mass – Three-dimensional form having physical bulk. Also, the illusion of such a form on a two-dimensional surface. Value or tone – relative lightness or darkness from white through gray to black. Pure hues vary in value. Volume – 1. Space enclosed or filled by a three-dimensional object or figure. 2. The implied space filled by a painted or drawn object or figure. Synonym: mass. Closed form – A self-contained or explicitly limited form; having a resolved balance of tensions, a sense of calm completeness implying a totality within itself. Open form – interacts with the space around it; A form whose contour is irregular or broken, having a sense of growth, change, or unresolved tension; form in a state of becoming. Diminishing size – decreasing size of objects to imply increases distance. smaller objects appear farther away. Vertical placement – A method for suggesting the third dimension of depth in a two-dimensional work by placing an object above another in the composition. The object above seems farther away than the one below. linear perspective – A system for creating an illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface based on the fact that parallel lines or edges appear to converge and objects appear smaller as the distance between them and the viewer increases. Vanishing point or viewpoint – With the linear perspective system, an entire picture can be constructed from this single, fixed position. place where land and sky appear to meet One-point perspective – All major receding ” lines” of the subject are parallel, but visually appear to converge at a single vanishing point on the horizon line. Two-point perspective – Two sets of parallel lines appear to converge at two points on the horizon line. Atmospheric or aerial perspective – A system for creating an illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface that creates the illusion of distance by reducing color saturation, value contrast, and detail in order to imply the hazy effect of atmosphere between the viewer and distant objects. Also known as aerial perspective. isometric – perspective parallel lines remain parallel, they do not converge as they recede value – refers to the relative lightness and darkness of surfaces local/object color – color that appears to our eyes as that of the object achromatic – without the property of hue neutrals – white, black and gray hue – particular wavelength of spectral color shade – black added to a hue tint – white added to hue intensity/saturation – refers to the purity of a hue or color subtractive color mixtures – pigment mixtures pigment primaries – re yellow blue light primaries – red-orange, green, and blue-violet subtractive – Colors that are made from mixtures of pigments intermediate – colors are achieved by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color. Ch 4 – Principles of Design Principles of Design – Unity/Variety; Balance; Emphasis/Subordination; Directional Forces; Contrast; Repetition/Rhythm; Scale/Proportion repetition – gives a composition unity, continuity, flow and emphasis balance – is achievement of equilibrium, in which acting influences are held in check by opposing forces radial balance – often in natures, centered around central axis composition – The combining of parts or elements to form a whole; the structure, organization, or total form of a work of art. design – The process of organizing visual elements and the product of that process. unity – The appearance of similarity, consistency, or oneness. Interrelational factors that cause various elements to appear as part of a single complete form. variety – Opposite of unity, counters unity; provides diversity. symmetrical balance – A design (or composition) with identical or nearly identical form on opposite sides of a dividing line or central axis. asymmetrical balance – Balance provided by various elements according to their size and meaning; balance is around a felt or implied center of gravity. emphasis – used to draw attention to an area or areas; position, contrast, color intensity, and size can be used to create emphasis. focal point – the area or areas of emphasis. subordination – neutral areas of lesser interest that keep the viewer from being distracted from the area or areas of emphasis. contrast – the juxtaposition of dissimilar elements: dark against light; large against small; bright colors against dull; geometric against organic; hard (sharp) edges against soft (blurred). rhythm – The regular or ordered repetition of dominant and subordinate elements or units within a design. scale – The size or apparent size of an object seen in relation to other objects, people, or its environment or format. Also used to refer to the quality or monumentality found in some objects regardless of their size. proportion – The size relationship of parts to a whole and to one another. format – The shape or proportions of a picture plane. hierarchical scale – the use of unnatural proportions to show relative importance of figures. Henri Matisse – French artist in late 1800’s associated with fauve movement Ch 5 – Evaluating Art subjective – Evaluation of art is always subjective Chinese – judged art to be good if it successfully communicated the inner spirit. personal value – orientations lead us to make judgments about the works of art we encounter. formal theories – focus attention on the composition of the work and how it may have been influenced by earlier works. inspiration – The word museum comes from the Greek mouseion, ” place of the muses.” Inferring the power of Tyler Green – ” Museum ethics have become a joke.” ” good art” – changes with mature, develop critical skills, develop an aesthetic awareness Art Criticism – The process of using formal analysis, description, and interpretation to evaluate or explain the quality and meanings of art. Refers to making discriminating judgments both favorable and unfavorable Museum – A place dedicated to collecting, caring for, studying, and displaying objects of lasting value and interest. Formal Theories – Theories which focus attention on the composition of the work and how it may have been influenced by earlier works. Sociocultural Theories – Theories based on environmental influences such as the economic system, cultural values, and the politics of the time.

Limited quantity; 2. Artist oversees each print; 3. Prints numbered & signed (pencil); artist copies marked ” ap” Artist’s proof – prints made for the artist’s record or personal use (” ap”) Relief – In a relief process, the printmaker cuts away all parts of the printing surface not meant to carry ink, leaving the design ” in relief” at the level of the surface. Original print – a print done by an artist or under his or her direct supervision. NOT a reproduction. Etching – an intaglio printmaking process in which a metal plate is first coated with acid-resistant wax, then scratched to expose the metal to the bite of nitric acid where lines are desired. Also, the resulting print. Woodcut – a type of relief print made from an image that is left raised on a block of wood. Linocut – A relief process in printmaking, in which an artist cuts away negative spaces from a block of linoleum, leaving raised areas to take ink for printing.

Also, the resulting print. Drypoint – an intaglio printmaking process in which lines are scratched directly into a metal plate with a steel needle. Also the resulting print. Lithography – a planographic printmaking technique based on the antipathy of oil and water. The image is drawn with a grease crayon or painted with tusche on a stone or grained aluminum plate. The surface is then chemically treated and dampened so that it will accept ink only where the crayon or tusche has been used. Screenprinting – a printmaking technique in which stencils are applied to fabric stretched across a frame. Paint or ink is forced with a squeegee through the unblocked portions of the screen onto paper or other surface beneath. Easiest; stencil applied with fabric stretched over frame; Not a reverse image Intaglio – any printmaking technique in which lines and areas to be linked and transferred to paper are recessed below the surface on the printing plate.

It is contrasted with black-and-white photography, which uses media capable only of showing shades of gray. daguerreotype – An early photographic process developed by Louis Daguerre in the 1830s, which required a treated metal plate. This plate was exposed to light, and the chemical reactions on the plate created the first satisfactory photographs. persistence of vision – An optical illusion that makes cinema possible. The eye and mind tend to hold seen images for a fraction of a second after they disappear from view.
