Design Terminology Assignment
The "Strange Loop" piece shows anomoly by deviating from the expected orderly norms of artwork. The spastic black lines converge in the middle of the canvas in an unorthodox way. Furthermore, the red marks in the piece are scattered and not identical, though they cluster in the middle of the piece. Overall, the piece challenges the "traditional" meaning of what art really is in a mysterious way.
Kent Knowles, "Passage". 2016, Acrylic on Canvas. Asymetrical
Not much to say here. The Knowles project is a beautiful piece of art, however it cannot be split down the middle with equal values on both sides. If it were split in half, the sides would not match identically, making this piece asymetrical.
Katherine Sandoz, "Twenty of Us". 1998, Acrylic on board. Containment
The Sandoz composition represents containment in each of its hexagonal shapes. Each individual piece is constrained in the pocket it is placed in, giving the feeling of entrapment throughout the piece. Even if the components of the artwork were to grow or expand, they would not be able to break out of the hexagon they are bound to.
SCAD Design Group. Grouping
This composition exhibits grouping by using three items with the same overall shape and light emission, while positioning each one slightly different. The chords of course are not related to the grouping.
Chris Kienke, Adrift. 2009, oil on canvas. Repitition
Though the strokes are not identical, the overall motion of each shape is the same and repeats five times. Even though the marks are not congruent, there is an illusion that one is looking at the same mark in different positions of the piece.
Information not found. After Image/Saturation
This piece speaks for two of the selected terms in this assignmnet. The dense colors stack on top of each other creating saturation. Also, use of analogous colors result in remain of colors even after looking at the image--an after image.
Gregory Eltringham, Untitled. 2007, oil on panel. Color Harmony
The three children are seen having on brighter colors. However, the background of the piece is very dark. To make the colors more harmonious, Eltringham adds shading to these bright colors to make them appear dark and gloomy. This makes for a better overall composition and eliminates the problem of colors clashing.
Gregory Eltringham, Untitled. 2007, oil on panel. Cast Shadow
The boy in the front is being hit directly by the moonlight, causing a shadow to appear directly behind his body. This makes the picture seem that much more real and vivid than it would be withiout the shadow being emphasized.
Gregory Eltringham, Untitled. 2007, oil on panel. Focal Point
Again, Eltringham uses color to display design terms. In this picture, the boy's yellow accessories allow him to stick out amongst the darkness. This makes the boy the focal point because one will seek him out first and he is much more noticable than the bleak landscape depicted in the background.
Debora Oden, Miss Recess. 2003, intaglio and screen print. Value Contrast
Not much to say here. Oden simply uses many shades of the same color showing different hue values which shows value contrast.
Information not found. Visual texture
The wood looks like wood. Visual texture is represented as any texture that is recognized by the eyes (sight) as opposed to the hands (touch). The wheel looks like real, authentic wood, therefore it represents visual texture.
