  1. Developing a Visual Vocabulary Lesson 3

  2. Harmony is a factor of cohesion. • Harmony is a pulling together of opposing forces on a picture surface accomplished by using common elements through the composition: color, texture, value, and so forth. Repetition, pattern, and rhythm are devices we use to create harmony. Frank Stella Damascus Gate Stretch Variation 1968 Acrylic on canvas 60x300in

  3. Repetition Paul Manes Eiso1995 Oil on canvas 60x66in

  4. Pattern M.C. Escher Rippled Surface 1950

  5. Rhythm Michael James Rhythm/Color: Spanish Dance 1985 machine-pieced cotton and silk quilt

  6. Variety is the counterweight to harmony. • Contrast occurs when the elements are repeated in a way that makes them appear unrelated. • Elaboration may be thought of as the addition of minute detail or embellishment to certain areas to create visual interest.

  7. Balance Formal Ben Shah Handball 1939 Radial Informal

  8. Proportion Scale Proportion deals with the ratio of individual parts to one another and often becomes a matter of personal judgment.

  9. Emphasis Jerome Paul WitkinJeff Davies 1980 Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van BruggenSpoonbridge and Cherry (a fountain) 1985-88

  10. Movement Katsushika Hokusai Under the Wave off Kanagawa (from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji) 1829-33 Colored woodblock print 10.5x15in

  11. Economy is not easily learned. Milton Avery Sheep Ian Davenport Blue, Black, Blue 1999 gloss paint on board 8x18ft Using economy relies on your instincts. Economy is often associated with the term abstraction. Abstraction implies an active process of paring things down to the essentials necessary to the artist’s style of expression. It strengthens both the conceptual and organizational aspects of the artwork.
