# Chapter 3 - Line
|
||||
Goals:
|
||||
- Distinguish among outline, contour, and implied line
|
||||
- Describe the different qualities that lines might possess
|
||||
|
||||
## Varities of Line
|
||||
Goal:
|
||||
- What are the differences between outline, contour, and implied line?
|
||||
|
||||
### Outline and Contour Line
|
||||
- Line indicates the edge of a two- or three-dimensional form
|
||||
- A shape can be indicated by means of an **outline**, usually used to emphasive flatness of a shape
|
||||
- **Contour lines** from the outer edge of a three-dimensional shape and suggest its volume, its recession or projection
|
||||
in space
|
||||
- Perceived line that marks the border of an object in space
|
||||
|
||||
### Implied Line
|
||||
- An **implied line** is a line where no continuous mark connects one point to another, but where the connection is
|
||||
visually suggested
|
||||
- Line of sight is (where figures are looking) is often an implied line
|
||||
- Implied line can serve to create a sense of directional movement and force
|
||||
|
||||
## Qualities of Line
|
||||
Goal:
|
||||
- Whata re the different qualities that lines might possess?
|
||||
|
||||
### Expressive Qualities of Line
|
||||
- **Expressive lines** express the emotion, the feelings of the artist
|
||||
- Vincent van Gogh uses expressive lines
|
||||
- **Impasto** is building up paint in thick strokes such that they possess a "body" of their own, almost sculptural
|
||||
materiality
|
||||
- A Lewitt painting is not the actual painting, but the instructions to make a Lewitt painting
|
||||
- **Vanitas** paintings are paintings that are a reminder that the pleasurable things in life inevitably fade
|
||||
|
||||
## Line Orientation
|
||||
- Creating hard angles with lines by using a grid of parallels or other such methods we can make a work more
|
||||
mathematical and analytical
|
||||
- Creating more flowing lines can make a painting more emotional and give it a sense of energy and a dynamic quality
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 4 - Shape and Space
|
||||
Goals:
|
||||
- Differentiate between shape and mass
|
||||
- Describe how three-dimensional space is represented on a flat surface using perspective
|
||||
- Explain why modern artists have challenged the means of representing three dimensions on two-dimensional surfaces
|
||||
|
||||
- A **shape** is a two-dimensional area -- that is, its boundaries can be measured in terms of height and width
|
||||
- **Perspective** is a system that allows the picture plane -- the flat surface of the canvas -- to function as a window
|
||||
through which a specific scene is presented the viewer
|
||||
|
||||
## Shape and Mass
|
||||
Goal:
|
||||
- How does shape differ from mass?
|
||||
|
||||
- The **figure-ground** relationship is the visual relationship between a composition's foreground and background,
|
||||
between the object and the space it occupies. Figure-ground relationships also refer to illusion of making design
|
||||
elements appear to move forward or recede.
|
||||
- **Positive shapes** are shapes that dominate our attention and are predominant in a given scene
|
||||
- **Negative shapes** are shapes that are implied (basically cut out from more predominant shapes)
|
||||
- A **mass** or **form** is a solid that occupies a three-dimensional volume
|
||||
|
||||
## Negative Space
|
||||
- **Negative Space** is empty space that acquires a sense of volume and form by means of the outline or frame that
|
||||
surrounds it
