Closure: Copy the following definitions into Evernote (focus & closure)
Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the artwork, often to focal
areas. Such movement can be directed along lines edges, shape and color within
the artwork.
Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the
artwork.
Repetition works with pattern to make the artwork seem active. The repetition of
elements of design creates unity within the artwork.
Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design
are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Variety is
essential to keep rhythm exciting and active, and moving the viewer around the
artwork.Rhythm creates a mood like
music or dancing. Texture is the way a surface feels or is perceived to feel. Tactile texture is the actual three-dimension feel of a surface that can be touched. Visual texture is the illusion of the surfaces peaks and valleys, like the tree pictured. Any texture shown in a photo is a visual texture, meaning the paper is smooth no matter how rough the image perceives it to be.
Extra Credit: Create a detailed Zentangle by hand using a marker. (Due Friday)
Closure: A Zentangle is a form of artistic meditation that uses repetitive patterns to create images. A zentangle is usually done in black and white and the patterns have a rhythm. The ideal is to let yourself be carried away by the creative process and allow the design to grow organically.
Focus: Copy the following definition into Evernote (Focus & Closure)
Shape: A shape is an element of art. Specifically, it is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art (i.e.: lines, colors, values, textures, etc.).
