Provides a record | four functions of art |
gives visible or other form to feeling | four functions of art |
reveals metaphysical or spiritual truths | four functions of art |
helps people see the world in new and innovative ways | four functions of art |
enjoyment | another function of art |
political and social commentary | yet another function of art |
therapy | function of art |
drawing | foundation of two dimensional art |
chalk | flexible medium with a wide variety of tonal areas created. Heavy or light applications |
charcoal | a burnt wood product, is like chalk in that it requires paper with a rough surface to adhere. |
graphite | a form of carbon, like coal. the harder the lead, the lighter and more delicate it's mark. |
pastel | essentially a chalk medium in which colored pigment and non greasy binder have been combined |
pen and ink | fairly flexible. shading can be done by diluting ink. line and texture possibilities |
wash and brush | similar to watercolor, ink diluted and applied via brush |
oils | most popular of the painting media. wide range of color possibilities, slow drying allowing reworking. |
watercolor | broad category that uses water as a thinner. transparent paint ususally applied to paper. |
gouache | watercolor medium in which gum is added to ground opaque colors mixed with water. final product, in contrast to watercolor is opaque |
tempera | opaque watercolor medium whose use spans recorded history. ground pigments and their color binders such as gum or glue, but is best known as its egg tempera form. Colors appear almost gemlike in their clarity and brilliance |
acrylics | modern synthetic product. Most are water soluable and the binding agent for the pigment is an acrylic polymer. |
fresco | wall painting technique in which pigments suspended in water are applied to fresh wet plaster |
relief printing | the image is transferred to the paper by cutting away non-image areas and inking the surface that remains. |
intaglio | opposite relief printing. ink is transferred to the paper not from the raised areas but rather from the grooves cut into a metal plate. |
line engraving | cutting grooves into the metal plate with special sharp tools. sharp and precise results |
etchings | removes the surface of the plate by exposing it to an acid bath. the plate is covered by a thin waxlike substance called a ground, the artist scratches away the ground to produce the desired line |
drypoint | the surface of the metal plate is scratch with a needle. drypoint leaves a ridge called a burr on either side of the groove resulting in a fuzzy line |
aquatint | allows the artist to create areas of solid tone on an etching plate as well as gradation of tone from white through a range of grays to black |
lithography | starting with a smooth stone. draw the image on the stone with grease. cleaned then repainted with a grease based ink. the ink adheres only to the areas the artist chose |
seriograph | silk screening |
5 elements of visual art | line, form, color, mass and texture |
4 principles of visual art | repetition, balance, unity and focal area |
line (visual art) | basic building block of a visual design is |
form (visual art) | this and line are closely related both in definition and in effect. it is the shape of an object within the composition |
color (visual art) | hue, value and intensity |
hue (visual art) | specific color with a measurable wavelength |
value (visual art) | relationship of blacks to whites and grays |
intensity (visual art) | degree of purity of a hue, also known as chroma or saturation |
mass (space) (visual art) | only three dimensional objects have mass. two dimensional objects give the illusion of mass |
texture (visual art) | apparent roughness or smoothness |
repetition (visual art) | how the basic elements in the picture are repeated or alternated |
rhythm (visual art) | ordered recurrence of elements in a composition |
harmony (visual art) | elements appear to join naturally and comfortably |
variation (visual art) | relationship of repeated items to each other |
symmetry (visual art) | the balancing of like forms, mass and colors on opposite sides fo the vertical axis of the picture |
unity (visual art) | all elements of a composition work together toward meaning. |
focal area (visual art) | looking at a picture our eyes are drawn to the areas of greatest importance |
perspective (visual art) | tool to indicate spatial relationships of objects in pictures. |
linear perspective (visual art) | the phenomenon of standing on railroad tracks and watching the two rails apparently come together |
atmospheric perspective (visual art) | indicates distance through the use of light and atmostphere |
verisimilitude | plausibility |
chiaroscuro (visual art) | light and shade, used by artists to make their forms appear three dimensional |
contrasts (visual art) | warm or cool colors |
dynamics (visual art) | stimulating a sense of movement and activity. |
medium, line, form, color, repetition, balance, focal area, deep space, reaction | visual art analysis |
full round (sculpture) | three dimensional sculpture |

addition (sculpture) | adding materials (built sculpture) |
substitution (sculpture) | material that can be transformed from plastic, molten or fluid state to solid |
manipulation (sculpture) | modeling (clay being shaped) |
found (sculpture) | objects in nature that stimulate and aesthetic response |
ephermeral (sculpture) | designed to be transitory, makes a statment then ceases to exist |
compositions | comprises the same elements and principles as composition in the pictural arts, mass, line, form, balance, repetition, color, proportion and unity |
mass (sculpture) | literal and consists of actual volume and density |
line and form (sculpture) | elements of a sculpture direct our eye from one point to antoher |
color (sculpture) | just as important but not as varietal |
texture (sculpture) | roughness or smoothness of a surface |
proportion (sculpture) | the relative relationship of shapes to one another |
repetition (sculpture) | rhythm, harmony and variation consititute this in sculpture |
articulation (sculpture) | the manner by which we move from one element to the next |
dimensionality, method of execution, mass, line and form, texture, repetition, reaction | sculpture analysis |
