More elements of art: (S-S-M/V-P-T-T&M-V/L)
space, shape, mass/volume, pattern, texture, time and motion, value/light
Ways to depict space on a 2-D surface
overlapping, diminished size, diminished detail, atmospheric perspective, position on the picture plane, and/or linear perspective
space
�implied space (on a 2-D surface)
�real space (in connection to 3-D artforms)
�psychological space
�virtual space (computers)
*can be significant in 3-D works
*can be tool for expressive or psychological impact
linear perspective
horizon line, orthogonals, vanishing point; foreground, mid ground, background
Space in Abstract works:
-space tends to become flattened
-form moves to the surface (significant aspect in abstract works)
Shape
�is flat.
�It is a 2-dimensional area.
�Its boundaries can be measured by height and width.
pattern
�repetitive, decorative, & usually evenly spaced motif or design.
�creates visual texture.
�While PATTERN may help to create TEXTURE, it's usually more organized on the surface than texture
�Household design (ie: wallpaper, textiles)
Quilts, Woven goods (
Texture is an ________ tool. And define/ explain
expressive;
Real texture:
Surface quality--a tactile component that is smooth, rough, slick, shiny, bumpy, furry, etc.

real texture
e* can appear on 2-D artworks, on sculpture, in clothing design, architecture...

Implied or Simulated Texture

mass and volume
MASS occupies a 3-dimensional solid body of material.
When mass encloses SPACE, this is called VOLUME .
�Architecture represents mass.
�Mass can be implied on a 2-D surface
�Architectural interiors represent 3-D volume.
�Baskets enclose volume
time and motion
*Sculpture that moves is called KINETIC SCULPTURE.
*Time is an inherent part of viewing & making video installations and performance art pieces
-can also be an illusion in context to flat 2-dimensional artworks like drawings or paintings
Principles of Design are how the _______ are manipulated and put to use. They are about visual _______.
elements; organization
What are 5 Principles of Design? (B-E/FP-S/P-R&R-U&V)
balance
emphasis & focal point
scale & proportion
repetition & rhythm
unity & variety
Balance
0
Emphasis and focal point
Draws the viewer's attention to one or more areas of the composition.
Scale and Proportion
Refer to the size of objects within a 2-D composition and their relationship to each other.
�In sculpture, refer to the relationship between parts of the sculpture and to the relationship the piece has to the viewer
Repetition and Rhythm
0
Unity and Variety
�Repetition & Rhythm of visual elements are used to create both UNITY & VARIETY within compositions.
�Unity is needed to create a cohesive composition.
�Variety is necessary for visual interest
Feldman's Model for the critical process:
-description
-analysis
-interpretation
-evaluation
Description
0
Analysis
a breaking up of the whole artwork into parts to find out their similarities and differences, function and organization. Note the relationships among things described above and how individual parts effect one another. How do the individual parts relate to

-Create a psychological landscape for the ______...

Sculpture is defined as art occurring in _____ space.
3-Dimensional
Sculpture Processes include: (A-S-C-P/I)
additive, subtractive, casting, performance/ installations
additive
The sculptor builds the work, adding material as the work proceeds:
Modeling- Clay for example
Assemblage-- created by compiling and assembling objects (usually found).
Construction- created from raw materials (i.e., wood and metal)
Subtractive
The artist begins with a mass of material and removes or subtracts it until the form is finished.
�CARVING (stone, wood, wax, soap, etc.) is a subtractive process.
Relief : sculpture that extends from the plane it is attached to.
Low relief : raised sligh
Casting
The technique of pouring liquid material into a mold to solidify, remove, then finish to create a 3-d object.
FYI: bronze involves copper alloys (copper with tin, zinc)
*
today: use resins and plastics
*
Performance/ Installations
pieces are considered to be in the realm of sculpture
Installation
uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way the viewer experiences a particular space.
They can be a boundary-challenge for the viewer.
Performance
involve time-based (and sometimes site-specific) performances that may involve objects, sound, film and any and all of the above.
James Turrell
light installations, Roden Crater so that viewers can feel that the earth is moving
Cai Guo Quiang
gun powder artwork and suspended cars in different positions/ bursts of light
Richard Serra
giant pieces of steel from ships
Ursula Von Rydinsvard
wood chunks made into structure
Do Ho-Suh
houses made of silk; little men holding up statues
