Art test 1

Art appreciation, chap 1, 2, 3,

QuestionAnswer
Art THE CONSCIOUS USE OF SKILL AND CREATIVE IMAGINATION ESPECIALLY IN THE PRODUCTION OF AESTHETIC OBJECTS; THE SKILLFUL PRODUCTION OF THE BEAUTIFUL IN VISIBLE FORM

DEGREES OF REPRESENTATION: 1. REALISM 2. IDEALIZATION 3. STYLIZATION 4. ABSTRACTION
REALISM ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE NATURAL WORLD.
IDEALIZATION TRANSFORMING THE REAL WORLD SO IT APPROXIMATES ONE'S IDEA OF PERFECTION.
STYLIZATION EMPHASIZES DESIGN RATHER THAN EXACT REPRESENTATION WHEN WORKING WITH NATURAL FORMS.
ABSTRACTION EXTRACTING THE ESSENCE OF REAL OBJECTS RATHER THAN FAITHFULLY REPRESENTING THEIR SURFACE APPEARANCE.
NON-REPRESENTATIONAL NO REFERENCE IS MADE TO OBJECTS IN THE REAL WORLD.
FINE ARTS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE VIEWED AESTHETICALLY (FOR BEAUTY)

NAIVE/OUTSIDER ARTIST AN ARTIST THAT HAS NOT BEEN FORMALLY TRAINED IN THE ARTS.
MODELS FOR JUDGING ART 1. FORMALIST APPROACH 2. EXPRESSIVIST APPROACH 3. INSTRUMENTALIST APPROACH
FORMALIST APPROACH BASED UPON HOW THE ARTIST MANIPULATES ELEMENTS OF DESIGN, ORGANIZES THEM ACCORDING TO UNIFYING PRINCIPLES AND WIELDS THE MEDIA.
EXPRESSIVIST APPROACH EMPHASIZES THE ABILITY OF THE ART TO COMMUNICATE FEELINGS AND IDEAS. ORIGINALITY, INTENSITY AND SINCERITY ARE GIVEN GREATER WEIGHT THAN DESIGN AND TECHNIQUE.
INSTRUMENTALIST APPROACH ANALYZES ART PRIMARILY ON THE BASIS OF HOW IT FULFILLS A RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL OR SOCIAL PURPOSE.
VISUAL ELEMENTS THE "THINGS" THAT ARTISTS USE TO MAKE WORKS OF ART. THEY ARE LIKE THE INDIVIDUAL INGREDIENTS IN A SALAD.
LINE A MARK THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER THAN IT IS WIDE. SEEN BEST IN 2-D AND LINEAR WORK. IT SERVES TO DEFINE SPACE AND FORM.
EDGES WHERE TWO AREAS THAT ARE TREATED DIFFERENTLY MEET. THESE AREAS ARE OFTEN PERCEIVED AS LINES.
POSITIVE SPACE FILLED IN AREAS IN THE PICTURE.
NEGATIVE SPACE UNFILLED AREAS IN THE PICTURE.
CONTOUR LINES PRESENT THE EXTERIOR OUTLINE OF AN OBJECT. THEY DEFINE THE OUTLINE.
IMPLIED LINE A LINE THAT IS VISUALLY SUGGESTED BY THE ARRANGEMENT OF FORMS, LIGHTS AND DARKS OR OTHER ELEMENTS IN A WORK OF ART.
EYELINES THE IMPLIED LINES ALONG WHICH A SUBJECT'S EYES APPEAR TO BE LOOKING IN THE WORK OF ART.
DESCRIPTIVE LINE SHOWS THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF AN OBJECT WE ARE SEEING AND HOW IT EXISTS IN SPACE.
DECORATIVE LINE A LINE THAT PROVIDES SURFACE EMBELLISHMENTS OR DETAILS.
MASS THE SOLID CONTENT OF A FORM
VOLUME THE SPACE THAT THE MASS OCCUPIES
VISUAL WEIGHT THE HEAVINESS OF AN AREA
DIRECTIONAL LINE USED TO STEER THE EYE IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION
RELIEF SCULPTURE AN IMAGE DEVELOPED OUTWARD OR INWARD FROM A 2-D GROUND.
LOW RELIEF FIGURES EXISTS ON NEARLY THE SAME PLANE AS THE BACKGROUND.
HIGH RELIEF HALF OF THE FIGURES' NATURAL SPATIAL DEPTH PROJECTS FORWARD FROM THE BACKGROUND.
FRONTAL WORK DESIGNED TO BE SEEN SOLELY FROM THE FRONT
THREE DIMENSIONAL ART IS DESIGNED TO BE SEEN FROM ALL SIDES.
WALK THROUGH WORKS ARE MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED COMPLETELY BY THE VIEWER.
CHARACTERISTICS OF 3-D FORMS: 1. CLOSED FORMS 2. OPEN FORMS 3. STATIC FORMS 4. DYNAMIC FORMS
FORMS CAN PROJECT HOW: OUTWARD(CONVEX) OR INWARD (CONCAVE)
CLOSED FORMS REFLECT THE RAW MASS FROM WHICH THEY ARE CARVED.
OPEN FORMS ALLOW MORE COMPLETE 3-DIMENSIONALITY.
STATIC FORMS APPEAR TO BE STILL, UNCHANGING.
DYNAMIC FORMS THOSE THAT APPEAR LIVELY, MOVING OR CHANGING.
METHODS OF HOW 2-D ART IS SHOWED 1. OVERLAPPING 2. SHADING AND MODELING
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN THE ORGANIZING FACTORS IN THE VISUAL ARTS. (THE ACTUALLY SALAD.)
OVERLAPPING SHOWING AN OBJECT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER
SHADING AND MODELING USED IN 2-D ART TO BRING ABOUT A SENSE OF SPATIAL DEPTH.
ORGANIC SHAPE FREE, REAL WORLD, LIKE TREES
GEOMETRICAL SHAPES CIRCLES, SQUARES, ETC.
HARD EDGED SHAPES CLEARLY DELINEATED FROM THE SURROUNDING AREAS BY CONTRASTS IN COLOR ALONG THE EDGE WHERE THEY MEET.
SOFT EDGED SHAPES EDGES ARE NOT AS PRECISELY DELINEATED.
SPACE AN INTANGIBLE ELEMENT THAT IS USED BY MANY ARTISTS. THERE ARE DIFFERENT METHODS EMPLOYED BY ARTISTS TO EXPLORE AND DEFINE THE CONCEPT OF SPACE.
3-D ART WORK IN SPACE AT IT'S CORE 3-D ART PHYSICALLY OCCUPIES SPACE AS IT HAS SPATIAL REALITY.
ARCHITECTURAL FORMS 1. CAN DEFINE SMALL SPACES. 2. HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DEFINE THE SPACE OUTSIDE OF ITS PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES.
SCULPTURES CAN ALSO BE USED TO DEFINE SMALL SPACES.
2-D ARTWORK SPACE 2-D ARTWORK IS DEFINED AS FLAT AND SUBJECT TO MAKE AN ILLUSION OF SPACE.
GROUND THE FLAT PLANE OF A 2-D WORK.
FIGURE OBJECT OR SHAPE ON THE GROUND
FIGURE-GROUND RELATIONSHIP THE FLAT PLANE OF A 2-D WORK AND THE OBJECT OR SHAPE ON THE GROUND.
PLACEMENT AN OBJECT LOWER ON THE PICTURE PLAN IS OFTEN CONSIDERED CLOSER TO THE VIEWER.
SCALE SCHANGE LARGER OBJECTS ARE CONSIDERED CLOSER TO THE VIEWER.
LINEAR PERSPECTIVE MATHEMATICAL DEVICE TO SHOW SPACE DEVELOPED DURING THE RENAISSANCE.
ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE ALL LINES THAT RECEDE FROM THE VIEWER CONVERGE TO THE SAME VANISHING POINT.
TWO POINT PERSPECTIVE PARALLEL LINES CONVERGE TO TWO DIFFERENT VANISHING POINTS
THREE POINT PERSPECTIVE PARALLEL LINES CONVERGE TO THREE DIFFERENT VANISHING POINTS.
ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE SHOWS HOW OBJECTS TEND TO LOSE DEFINITION, VALUE, AND CONTRAST WHEN THEY RECEDE IN SPACE.
POINT OF VIEW THE ARTIST PLACES THE VIEWER SPATIALLY IN THE PICTURE BY THE POSITION OF THE FIGURES.
SCALE THE MANIPULATION OF SCALE CAN OFTEN BE USED TO GIVE THE VIEWER A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON A WORK OF ART.
ACTUAL TEXTURE WE CAN FEEL WITH OUR HANDS.
SIMULATED TEXTURE VISUAL SENSATIONS OF TEXTURAL QUALITIES ON A SURFACE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY FEEL DIFFERENT IF TOUCHED.

CHIAROSCURO THE DEPICTION OF LIGHT AND SHADOW IN 2-D WORK.
COLOR DERIVES FROM THE VISUAL WAVELENGTHS VISIBLE TO THE HUMAN EYE. THESE ARE COMMONLY CATEGORIZED IN THE TERMS OF RED, BLUE, YELLOW, ETC.
REFRACTED COLORS LIGHT OR ADDITIVE COLORS.
REFRACTED PRIMARY COLORS THOSE FROM WHICH ALL OTHER CAN BE DERIVED. RED, GREEN, BLUE-VIOLET.
REFRACTED SECONDARY COLORS THOSE MIXED FROM THE REFRACTED PRIMARY COLORS. YELLOW, LIGHT BLUE, PINK
REFLECTED COLORS THOSE CONSISTING OF PIGMENTS (SUBTRACTIVE HUES)
PRIMARY REFLECTED COLORS RED, BLUE, YELLOW
SECONDARY REFLECTED COLORS THOSE MIXED WITH THE PRIMARY REFLECTED COLORS. ORANGE, GREEN, PURPLE
TERTIARY COLORS THOSE MADE FROM THE MIXING OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COLORS. EXAMPLE: RED AND PURPLE MAKE RED-PURPLE
WARM COLORS THOSE THAT REFER TO FIRE AND HEAT (LIKE RED, YELLOW, ORANGE). TEND TO ADVANCE ON THE PICTURE PLAN
COOL COLORS THOSE THAT ARE ICY WATER. LIKE BLUES AND GREENS. TEND TO RECEDE ON THE PICTURE PLANE(LIKE THE BACKGROUND).
MONOCHROMATIC COLORS THE USE OF ONLY ONE COLOR OR MAJORITY OF ONE COLOR.

VISUAL ELEMENTS ARE OFTEN ARRANGED IN A MANNER..... WHERE THERE IS A COHERENCE AND UNITY.
REPETITION REPEATING OF A SINGLE DESIGN ELEMENT
VARIETY CHANGE IS USED RATHER THAN REPETITION
RHYTHM THE REPETITION OF CERTAIN ELEMENTS CAN LEAD TO PATTERNS WHICH CAN BE PERCEIVED BY THE VIEWER. THE PATTERN CAN ALMOST BE CONSIDERED MUSICAL IN NATURE.
BALANCE THE DISTRIBUTION OF APPARENT VISUAL WEIGHTS SO THAT THEY SEEM TO OFFSET ON ANOTHER.
SYMMETRICAL BALANCE VISUAL WEIGHT IS EQUALLY BALANCED AROUND A CENTRAL POINT
RADIAL BALANCE VISUAL WEIGHT IS ARRANGED AROUND A CENTRAL POINT IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE VISUAL WEIGHT OF DISSIMILAR AREAS COUNTERBALANCE EACH OTHER.
COMPOSITIONAL UNITY USING COMPOSITIONAL ELEMENTS TO HOLD TOGETHER OR CREATE STRONG ATTACHMENTS BETWEEN ELEMENTS WITHIN A WORK.
EMPHASIS THE PREDOMINANCE OF ONE AREA OF ELEMENT IN A DESIGN.
FOCAL POINT AWARENESS THAT IS DRAWN TO ONE PARTICULAR POINT OF THE COMPOSITION.
ECONOMY THE ABILITY TO PARE AWAY EXTRANEOUS DETAILS. EXAPLES ARE LOGOS.
PROPORTION PLEASING TO THE EYE
RELATIONSHIP TO THE ENVIRONMENT THE METHOD WHICH A WORK RELATES TO IT'S SELLING CAN GIVE A WORK A MORE COHERENT ASPECT.
