Week 3 9/20/13
Elements & Principles • Line • Shape • Time & Motion • Light • Color Texture • Unity & Variety • Balance • Emphasis & Subordination • Directional Forces • Contrast • Repetition & Rhythm • Scale & Proportion
2-D Design and Medium • Drawing • Types of Hatching • Real Cartoon • Painting • Watercolor • Tempera • Encaustic • Oil • Acrylic • Fresco • Printmaking • Relief • Intaglio • Engraving • Drypoint • Etching • Screen Printing
What are we doing? • Review previous material • Sculpture • Digital Media • Continue work on drawings
Free Standing SCULPTURE • Seen from all sides • Known as sculpture “in-the-round”
Relief Sculpture • What was relief in printmaking? • Not freestanding, but projects from a background surface. • Low-Relief • Bas relief • Slight prjection • Shadows are minimal • Ex: coins • High Relief • More than half of the natural circumference of molded form is projected
Modeling • Additive process • Pliable material: clay, wax, plaster • Armature – rigid inner support • Some sculptures do not need armature if built in smaller pieces and put together
I like art that has humor, with irony and playfulness, I want to make “high” art that is outrageous while revealing the human condition which is not always high. - Robert Arneson
Casting • Substitution of 1 material for another • Lost – wax process
“Public Art Fund Water Tower Project” by Rachel Whiteread; 1977
Carving • Subtractive process – taking away materials • Michelangelo preferred this process • Most challenging because it is a one-way technique with little room for error • Marble is being replaced by graphite
Kinetic Sculpture • Sculpture that moves • Alexander Calder • Well known for his kinetic sculptures • Focuses on shape, space, and movement (mobiles) • Suspended parts move in response to small air currents

Mixed Media • Using a variety of media in a single work • Choice of media expresses some cultural or symbolic meaning

Instillations and Site-Specific Art • 3-D medium of instillation to tell story usually • Similar to constructed sculpture, but entire space as an artwork and transforms
Photography • Evolution of photography began from the desire of Renaissance artists to make accurate depictions of nature • Camera obscura – “Dark room” • Reflected sunlight passing through hole in wall projects onto the opposite wall an inverted imag • Daguerreotypes – first satisfactory photographs
Photography • Some painters believed that the new medium was unfair • Why do you think so?
Graphic Design – Ch. 9 • Of all art forms, we encounter graphic designs most frequently in our daily life • Graphic design – refers to process of working with words and pictures to enhance visual communication • Employs art and technology
