- 16. Types Of Visual Art There are three basic types of Visual Art. Subcategories exist in each of these types. Often, these types are misrepresented or more often, misunderstood. Whether the work is three dimensional sculptures or two dimensional, it will still fall under one of these three main types. These types are representational, abstract, or non- objective.
- 17. Types Of Visual Art Contemporary visual artist like to combine mediums and materials to express an idea or simply to reinvent things and divert them from their natural form. The different mix and combinations of media and creative variations of design, composition, color, and texture can all be used for interesting effect.
- 18. Types Of Visual Art • Representational Art shows actual objects or subjects from nature or reality. They may look exactly like the objects copied naturally or realistically or can be stylized for as long as the essential parts are present in the artwork.
- 19. Types Of Visual Art • Abstract Art takes subjects from reality and nature but the artists present them in ways different from the way they are seen in everyday life. The artists use elements of art, such as lines, colors, shapes, textures, etc., and organize them observing some or combination of the principles of design.
- 20. Types Of Visual Art • Non-Objective Art also uses the elements of art and principles of design but the artworks do not represent or depict a person, place, or thing in the natural world. Usually, the content of the work is its colors, shapes, brushstrokes, size, scale, and in some cases, the process by which it is made.
- 21. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Collage – is made by adhering flat elements such as newspaper or magazine cut- outs, printed text, illustrations, photographs, cloth, string, etc. to a flat surface to create a thick layer that is almost like a relief sculpture.
- 22. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Decalcomania – is the process of applying gouache to paper or glass then transferring a reversal of that image onto canvas or other flat materials.
- 24. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Decoupage – is done by adhering cut-outs of paper and then coating these with one or more coats or transparent coating of varnish.
- 25. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Frottage – is the technique of rubbing with crayon on a piece of paper which has been placed over an object or an image. The impression of the image can be created using leaves, wood, wire screen, or metal with embossed image or words.
- 26. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Montage – is used for photography or film where a pictorial image is juxtaposed or placed overlapping to make another picture design.
- 27. Techniques in Mixed Media Art • Assemblage – as the word implies, it is putting together objects and combining them in new context. Assemblage employ any method of joining or fastening to make a three-dimension object.
- 28. How to Read and Understand Visual Art?
- 29. How to Read and Understand Visual Art? When you look at a painting or sculpture, do you wonder what it means? How does it make you feel?
- 30. How to Read and Understand Visual Art? • Theme- relates to the meaning of painting, rather than the subject, which is specific and basic. Usually about life, society or human nature, but can be any other subject. Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a work.
- 31. How to Read and Understand Visual Art? • Mood- Is the atmosphere in the artwork or the feeling expressed. Is the art tranquil, or is it dark or disturbing
- 32. How to Read and Understand Visual Art? • Tone- refers to the lightness or darkness of colors used, which can help to create a sense of depth or distance in art. Artists use light and dark colors to convey a mood or an emotion.
- 33. How to Read and Understand Visual Art? Color can harmonize, or bring elements together and create a pleasing sensation, or it may clash. Finally, the composition, or the underlying structure of the art, refers to where the artist placed the subject matter.
- 34. The Nightmare By: Henri Fusile The woman is draped in white, lying on the bed. She’s asleep and her limp arms sprawl to the ground. A creepy-looking glowering creature seats on her chest. Above her, a ghostly horse head peers from behind a curtain in the left section of the canvas. Except for the woman, rendered in white and other bright colors, everything else is depicted in deep red, dark brown, and black.
- 35. The Nightmare By: Henri Fusile We can’t see the background, its obscured in darkness, and we’re not sure where the creature or the horse came from. The paintings tone, created by the contrast between dark and light, is mysterious and unsettling. We might not know what’s going on, but we know its not good.
- 36. The Nightmare By: Henri Fuseli The creature, shown in brown and grays appears to rest heavily on woman’s chest, a feeling we sometimes have when we suffer through bad dreams. So the tone is overwhelmingly dark, the mood is scary, and theme reflects fears and nightmares.
- 37. Group Activity With your group, read and understand the given picture by applying the basic technique in reading and understating visual art.
