1. Visual Images & Lines and Textures Leire Nieto & Iratxe Grima

2. Visual Images 1.- What relationships can objects have with each other? Explain and give an example. Proximity, similarity, continuity, of contrast and of homogeneity,. Proximity is when we see that elements are united but they are physically close to one another. For example: when we see trees sometimes they are very close and we think that they are only one. Similarity is when we see similar images and we make a grup with them, as if they were only one image.When we see a lot of bikes together that are similar, we see them like a group forming an image. Continuity is when we see a group of elements that go in the same direction and they create a simple form. For example people walking in the snow with a distance from one to another.

4. Of contrast is when we see an element out of its environment and we pay more atention to it. For example when we see a flower in the desert. Of homogeneity is the opposite of contrast. When we see an element in a similar environment. For example when the camaleons are in their environments and they are of the same colour. Of contrast Of homogeneity

5. 2.- What items feature in our visual public enviroment? Give an example of some type of visual contamination in this enviroment. For example in the natural parks near the mountains there are a lot of museums, rustic restaurants and places to visit. And in the natural parks in a lot of places, for example in the beaches or in Rustic irelands, etc. Normally in this places there is a lot of papers in the flour and this one of the most common types of visual contamination. This feature in our visual public enviroment because in there´s a house in the middle of the mountain

6. 3.- What are the stages involved in the communication process? Transmitter Message Recipient Chanel or medium Context Reference Chanel or medium Code

7. For example in this image the teacher is speaking with the chils. He is the transmiter and the childs are the recipient. The maths are the message.

8. 4.- Give an example of each of the following: graphic and visual media, audio-visual media and sound media. Write down one characteristic typical of each. Graphic and visual media appears for example in magazines or newspapers. Some typical characteristics are that they haven´t sound and they communicate ideas. Audiovisual media appears usually in the television. Some typical characteristics are that they are made for sound and they have images and texts incorporated. Sound media appears for example in the radio. Some typical characteristics are that it is cheaper than other media and it can reach a large amount of people listening.

16. Lines and textures 1.- What is a realistic drawing? How do we use lines in this type of drawing? Realistic drawing are images that are composed of visual icons or shapes. In realistic drawins lines are used to portray the appearence of shapes with the shape that we see them.

17. -Irregular lines express tension. -Irregular straigh lines animate to be less rigid. -Irregular curved lines increase tension, movement and rhythm and can producecan produce effect of disorderand chaos. 2.- A line is an expressive element.

18. Lines Straight lines Sentation of instability or agression. Curved lines They transmit energy movement and vitality. Irregular lines They can express tension Irregular straight lines They animate to be less rigid. Irregular curved lines They increase tension movement and rhythm and can producecan produce effect of disorderand chaos.

19. 3.- What are visual textures? Name three of them. Textures that create the ilusion of visual surfaces on a two-dimensional support. When we talk about it we mean a textures that is generally seen bu realy touched. For example: ornamental texture, accidental texture and mechanical texture. 4.- How can you use texture to organise and balance a composition? We can use order to organised similar shapes from greater to lesser importance and we create an area of greater importance and visibility. We can use balance using texture we can make shape seem to weigh more than another.
