Visual Composition 1 Review
Six Principles of Design
-Emphasis -Balance -Variety -Movement -Harmony -Pattern
3 properties of color
-Hue ex) Blue -Value ex) Dark Blue/ Light Blue -Intensity ex) Muddy/ Bright
Seven elements of design
-line -shape -form -color -value -texture -space
4 Steps of Critical Method
1. Describe 2. Analyze 3. Interpret 4. Evaluate/Judge
Form
A 3D volume or the illusion of 3D on a 2D surface
Value Scale
A gradual diagram of value from high (light) values to low (dark) values using any medium or technique
Vanishing point
A point in space, usually located on the horizon, where parallel edges of an object appear to converge.
stencil
A printing process by which areas are blocked out to keep ink from non-image areas.
relief print
A type of printmaking where the plate has high and low surfaces, and only the high points get inked (prints as a reverse of what we see)
Assemblage
Additive sculpture process made from many small objects put together
Still Life with Apples is by ________
Cezanne
Variety
Combination of elements that create visual interest
Harmony
Combination of elements that gives "togetherness" to the work
Critical Method- Interpret
Connection between the artwork and you

Da Vinci
Mona Lisa is by ________
Da Vinci

Escher
Critical Method- Describe
Facts only
Final result
Tint
High Value
The Great Wave by ________ represents ________
Hokusai; texture
Critical Method- Analyze
How element is used to create principle
Direct Process
Image prints as drawn
Reverse Process
Image prints reversed
Critical Method- Evaluate/Judge
Is the work successful?
The Girl with the Pearl Earring is by ____________
Johannes Vermeer
Value
Lightness or darkness of a surface, object, or hue
Orthogonal lines
Lines on an object that lead to the vanishing point
Shade
Low Value
Media (Medium)
Material the artist uses to create piece

Michaelangelo
David by ________ represents ________
Michelangelo; form
Rose Window in ____________ is an example or ____________ design
Notre Dame; radial
Old Guitarist is by ____________ and uses a ____________ color scheme

Intensity
Pure or neutral color (bright/dull)
Concentric design
Share the same center/axis
Module
Single 3D unit/element
Revenge of the Goldfish by ________ represents ________
Skoglund; color
Linear Perspective
System of describing space in which the artist creates the illusion of depth with vanishing point, horizon line, and orthogonal line
Value
The lightness or darkness of a color
triadic color scheme
Three colors equally distant from each other on the color wheel
complementary color scheme
Use of TWO colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel
monochromatic color scheme
Use of different tints, shades, & intensities of ONE color
Cross-hatching
Value method in which intersecting sets of parallel lines create a full range of values
Scumbling
Value method in which random application of lines creates tones
Shading
Value method in which the medium is applied smoothly with smooth transitions
Stippling
Value method where random application of dots creates different tones

Subject Matter
What is represented

Pattern is best defined as a. A principle of design where an element or combination of elements, called a motif, are repeated in a planned way b. arrangement of element to direct the viewer's eye through the artwork c. combination of elements to create visual interest, dynamics and richness by using differences between elements. d. the way things feel, or look like they would feel if touched
a. A principle of design where an element or combination of elements, called a motif, are repeated in a planned way
This principle of design refers to the differences in value, colors, textures, shapes and other elements. a.
