Hannah's Stack

Art Appreciation Unit 1 (LIFEPAC)

QuestionAnswer
What is Art? The use of imagination and fine motor skills in the creation of aesthetic objects.
What is the Design Process? The name given to the actual step-by-step recipe for the creation of a piece of artwork.
What is the first step of the Design Process? The artist generates an idea for the work of art. (What he wants to communicate to an audience and in what medium)
What is the second step of the Design Process? The artist creates design units/images that will convey the meaning the artist wants to show
How many Elements of Design are there? There are 5 elements of design: Line, Shape/Form, Texture, Value, and Color.
What is the difference between representational and non-representational artwork? Representational artwork uses recognizable imagery, while non-representational artwork does not. (only lines, shapes, and color)
What is the third step of the Design Process? The artist creates a sketch or design by moving the design units around the picture plane using the Principles of Design.
How many Principles of Design are there? Once again, there are 5 principles of design: Emphasis/Focal point, Balance, Scale/Proportion, Movement/Rhythm, and Space
What is the fourth step of the Design Process? The artist executes the design in the desired medium.
What is the final step of the Design Process? The artist finishes the artwork.
What are the 4 kinds of lines? 1. Actual line--a physical, clear line 2. Implied line--a type of line created by a broken segment 3. Imaginary line--an invisible connection between 2 objects 4. Edge--the area where 2 contrasting objects/areas touch
What is the difference between Actual and Implied Texture? Implied texture is visual only, describing how an object looks when a person touches it, where actual texture is how an object actually feels when you touch it.
Describe Value. Value is a term used to describe how light or dark an object is.
What is the difference between Shape and Form? Shape is used to describe an enclosed area on a flat plane, where Form actually adds dimension and depth to the artwork.
Which is the most important of the Principles of Design? Unity is the most important because it states that each part of the artwork should blend seamlessly into the others, so that the viewer should see the whole design first, not only the individual.
What is balance? The way in which the design units are arranged to to appear evenly distributed throughout the design.
What are the 3 main types of balance? 1. Symmetrical--the design is exactly the same on each side 2. Asymmetrical--equally weighed, but different on both sides 3. Radial--balanced from a single string from a center point
What is space? Positive Space--The area an object occupies Negative Space--The space that is left over or unused in a design
What is a Focal Point? A portion of the artwork that is meant to draw your attention. (Like a red dot in the center)
What is the difference between Scale and Proportion? Scale refers to the overall size of the design, like the size of the "E" changing. Proportion refers to the size of the individual parts of the design, like different parts of the "E" changing.
What is the difference between Actual Movement and Implied Movement? Actual movement is made in such a way to as the whole thing moves. Implied movement is when the artist leads the viewers in such a way to as it shows movement on the actual piece.
How many different types of Rhythm are there? There are 3 types of rhythm: 1. Formal Rhythm--when 1 element is repeated over and over 2. Alternating Rhythm--1 element is alternated every other unit 3. Progressive Rhythm--A regular change to create a sequence
