Principles of Design: Unity

Unity:

This principle of design allows the viewer to see a combo of elements, principles, and media as a whole. 

Unity is created by harmony, simplicity, repetition, proximity, and continuation. 

Unity can be shown with a theme. 

Unity uses elements to connect you to a picture. 

-Unity as explained by John Lovett

Principles of Design: Movement

Movement

This principle of design deals with the illusion of action or physical change in position.

Artists often use visual movement to control the way a viewer looks at a work of art.

Friday 11/15/13

-Daily Drawing
-Principles of design: pattern, rhythm, emphasis, and movement. 
-"RPM" activity

Principle of Design: Rhythm

Rhythm

Rhythm repeats Elements to create the illusion of movement. 

Visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces, repeating colors and or shapes.

5 types of rhythm:
random
regular
alternating
flowing
progressive

Principle of Design: Emphasis

Emphasis

Emphasis stresses one element or area to attract attention. It is about difference but difference in one area. 

Emphasis can be created by using contrast. Emphasis creates dominant and subordinate areas. 

Principle of Design: Pattern

Pattern:

The principle of pattern is a 2 dimensional (2D) decorative visual repetition. A pattern has no movement and may or may not have rhythm. 

A pattern is predictable like
(Wall paper, checkerboard, polka-dots)

Texture: 

Texture refers to how things feel or how they look like they might feel on the surface. 

Texture is perceived by sight and touch. 

Objects can have rough or smooth textures. 

They can also have matte or glossy surfaces

 Fuzzy or soft texture













 Smooth and glossy

-Warm up Line
-Element of Art: Space
-Work day: Cubeecrafts (due Friday Nov 8th)

Element of Art: Space

Space

Space refers to the emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or within objects. Shapes and forms are defined by space around and within them. 

3 ways to show space are: 
Overlapping
Between
Perspective

 Overlap: it gives the illusion that an object is behind another object creating depth. 

Scooby and Shaggy are overlapping the lettering so it gives the illusion that they are in front of the lettering.

Velma, Freddy, and Daphne are covered by the lettering giving the illusion that they are behind the lettering. 


There is obvious space between the characters Finn and Jake (the dog) this gives an illusion that they are standing next too each other on the same plane. 

<<< Everything in the picture appears to get smaller as your eyes go further into the picture. Objects and things get smaller into the distance and things in the foreground are larger.

-Daily Drawing: aviators
-Elements of Art: FORM
-Workday: Cubeecrafts

Cubeecrafts are due: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 8TH. 

Element of Art: Value

Value:

Deals with the lightness and darkness of a color (or pencil). 

Value depends on how much light a surface reflects. 

Value is also one of the 3 properties of color. 

Element of Art: Form

Form:

3 dimensional and encloses space. The 3 dimensions in a form are height, length, and depth. 

3D = H x L x D

The space inside an object is called positive space and the space outside the object is called negative space. 

We often add value to a shape to give it form.
