Mr. Briscoe Visual Arts – 11/01/2011
Foundations of Drawing & Visual Arts
Over the last few weeks our visual arts class has been discussing one and two point perspective. Students have been learning about how the use of perspective rules can cause the visual illusion of depth.
One Point Perspective
Two Point Perspective
We’ve done two projects dealing with the use of perspective drawings. One Pt. Perspective DUE:10/28 & Two Pt. Perspective DUE:11/4
Foundations of Design
Foundations of Design students have recently finished a project dealing with color theory and symmetry (Radial Design Project). Students have recently reviewed the Elements of Design. The Elements of Design serve as the basic building blocks of all aesthetics. Everything in our visual world, from art & design to the natural world, contains one or more element of design.
Elements of Design Definitions:
Space – The areas between, around, above, below or within something.
Line – A continuous mark on a surface.
Color – An element of design with three properties, hue, value, and intensity. Color is created by reflected light.
Shape - An enclosed space defined by other art elements such as line, color and texture
Texture – an element of art that refers to the tactile quality of a surface. “The sense of touchability”
Form – Refers to the visual appearance or configuration of a composition.
Value – An element of art that refers to the relative darkness and lightness of an area.
Type – Type is the use of letterform to add a message that would be otherwise challenging to create through the other elements.
Students current project deals with the elements. The project divides the page in seven sections, each section representing a different element. Project DUE: 11/15
