  1. Quiz #2 REVIEW Drawing

  2. UNIT 5: Composition Techniques

  3. “Drawing” vs. “Composition” • Observational Drawing Study-Marks made on a two-dimensional surface so as to create a realistic image of some kind • Artistic Composition-Any piece of artwork where the 7 Elements of Art are arranged according to the 6 Principles of Design

  4. The Artistic Process: An Analogy • The Elements of Art = • The Principles of Design = • The Composition= • Cooking Ingredients • The recipe (how the chef uses the ingredients) • The finished, yummy meal

  5. 6 Principles of Design • They are strategies for arranging the Elements of Art to create visual interest in an artwork Contrast/ Variety BALANCE Repetition Rhythm/ UNITY MOVEMENT EMPHASIS

  6. Balance: A Principle of Design • The feeling of visual equality on both sides of an artwork Symmetrical Balance- Same elements on both sides of a composition Asymmetrical Balance- A similar amount of different elements on both sides of a composition Rule of Thirds- An imaginary grid that helps balance your composition in thirds

  7. Emphasis: A Principle of Design • The first place a viewer’s eye is drawn to in an artwork • Also called a “Focal Point” Emphasis/ Focal Point

  8. Contrast: A Principle of Design • Using different Shapes, Colors, Forms, Lines, Values, Textures, or Space (positive vs. negative) • Also called “Variety” Contrasted Colors Contrasted Shapes

  9. Movement: A Principle of Design • When the viewer’s eye moves around an artwork

  10. Repetition / Rhythm: A Principle of Design • When an Element is repeated • Oftentimes, patterns are formed

  11. Unity: A Principle of Design • The relationship between similar Elements in an artwork, and a sense that they all belong together in the same composition • If your composition is not unified, it will look like it’s missing something, like it’s incomplete.

  12. Still-life Drawing • Viewfinder- a hole cut in a piece of mat board that an artist uses to choose their composition carefully • Thumbnail sketches- tiny drawings with minimal detail used to arrange a composition

  13. Foreground / Middleground / Background Foreground- The part of a composition that is nearest to the viewer (usually the lowest area of the page) Middle-ground- The space located between the foreground and background in a composition. Background- part of a composition that is furthest from the viewer (usually the highest area of the page) Background Middle-ground Foreground

  14. Color Theory and Psychology

  15. Color Theory and Schemes • Color Theory- A body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impacts of specific color combinations • Color Scheme- Combination or arrangement of colors regarded as elements in a systematic conception

  16. Color Scheme: Analogous • Colors next to one-another on the color wheel • ex. Blue-green, Green, Yellow-Green

  17. Color Scheme: Complementary • Opposites on the color wheel; Create brown tones, and contrast, when mixed • ex. Red, Green

  18. Color Scheme: Monochromatic • One hue with its tints / shades / tones • ex. Red with tints, shades, and tones

  19. Color Psychology • The study of how colors affect our moods • Color is NOT the only element that affects the mood of an artwork. Mood is also strongly affected by subject matter! • Warm colors- • Colors based on the red/ orange/ yellow area of the color wheel appear (to most of us) as warm and inviting • Cool colors- • On the other hand, violet-blue/ blue/ green-blue appear to recede from us and are known as receding colors

  20. UNIT 6: Linear Perspective

  21. What is Perspective? • A mathematical way to create the illusion of depth in an artwork • Linear Perspective was discovered during the Renaissance in Europe in the 15th century by architect Brunelleschi. He developed a mathematical way to calculate linear perspective in a drawing. Lack of Perspective Linear Perspective

  22. Perspective Rules • Objects appear smaller as they recede towards the background • Colors and values appear darker in the foreground and lighter in the background • Circular shapes often appear elliptical when viewed at certain angles

  23. Atmospheric vs. Linear Perspective • Atmospheric Perspective- • Refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance • Landscape drawings or paintings with no geometric forms or few buildings • Linear Perspective- • The subject matter must have lines! i.e. buildings, geometric figures, etc.

  24. Linear Perspective Terminology • Converging Lines- Parallel in reality, but appear to recede at an angle towards a common point • Vanishing Point(s)- The intersection point of all converging lines • Horizon Line- Passes through the vanishing point(s) at eye level

  25. One-Point Perspective • When a drawing has only one vanishing point. Lines converge in the same direction. • Example- A city street with buildings on either side

  26. Two-Point Perspective • When a drawing has two vanishing points (both will be on the horizon line!). Lines converge in two different directions. • Examples- The corner of a city block; A house where all sides appear at an angle

  27. UNIT 7: Drawing People

  28. Portraiture • Portrait- a likeness of a person, especially of the face, as a painting, drawing, or photograph. Usually depicts the person from the shoulders-up • Three most popular views:

  29. Proportions of the Human Head

  30. Proportions of the Human Body • The height of an adult is approx. 7.5 heads high Spine-Mannequin Technique • A strategy for drawing the figure that helps the artist maintain accurate scale and proportion

  31. Foreshortening • When parts of the human body appear shorter than they actually are, so they are drawn as such • This will occur if the view is exaggerated
