The document discusses visual patterns and symmetries that are commonly found in art and design. It lists several terms related to repetition and order including patterns, grids, motifs, and symmetries. These elements help create structure and organization in images.
Artapppreziarthistory1
The document provides an overview of basic art history from prehistoric to Roman art. It describes prehistoric cave paintings and Venus figurines from the Upper Paleolithic period. During the Neolithic period, art became more symbolic with pottery, jewelry and megaliths. Mesopotamian art reflected military rule with structures like ziggurats and protective deities. Egyptian art had religious purposes and followed strict conventions for thousands of years as seen in structures like the Great Pyramids of Giza. Ancient Greek art progressed from the Archaic to Classical periods, establishing ideals of naturalism seen in works like the Parthenon and Doryphorus. Hellenistic art became more dramatic. Roman art
Color2014
The document discusses color theory terms including hue, value, saturation, tint, shade, intensity, and different color harmony schemes such as monochromatic, complementary, and analogous. It defines hue as the name of the color, value as the lightness or darkness, and saturation as the brightness or dullness. It also notes that color is relative and discusses tint, shade, intensity, and the push/pull color space model as well as transparency illusions.
Artapp prezi4
This document discusses various themes and contexts related to art. It describes common themes in art such as religious/sacred, political/social, nature, identity, dreams/fantasy, and humor. It also discusses context, including the historical circumstances around a work, its physical placement or site-specific nature. Finally, it discusses the effect and affect of art, where effect is the visual result and affect is the emotional feeling created in the viewer.
Artappprezi5
The document discusses the key visual elements of art and design including form, line, shape, value, color, texture, and space. It provides definitions and examples of each element. Specifically, it defines line as points or dots following a path, shape as two-dimensional areas with boundaries, value as varying lights and darks, color as the effect of light rays on the eyes/brain, texture as surface qualities, and space as dimensions in works of art. It also discusses principles like linear perspective and atmospheric perspective that create the illusion of depth and distance.
Designprinciplesforartapprec
The document discusses key formal principles of design including unity and variety, balance, emphasis, scale and proportion, rhythm, and economy. It provides examples and ways to achieve each principle. Unity can be created through repetition, alignment, and continuity while variety is achieved through contrast, hybridity, and fragmentation. Balance can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Emphasis is created through isolation, framing, pointing, and contrast. Scale relates to size while proportion relates to the size of parts. Rhythm can be flowing, increasing, or staccato. Economy aims for simplicity and essential elements. The document shows examples applying multiple principles together in compositions.

Shape2d2013
Shapes can be defined by an enclosed area with boundaries. Simple shapes are more memorable than complex ones. Actual shapes differ from implied shapes. Shape and repetition/patterns as well as overlapping, transparency, and spatial illusions can be used. The figure/ground relationship looks at what is in front versus behind. Shapes can interact through detachment, touching, overlapping through union or subtraction, intersection, and penetration. Design can also incorporate letterforms.
Artappprezi3
The document discusses many aspects of defining and understanding art, including:
- Art is subjective and definitions have changed over time and cultures. Intention and context are important.
- Meaning in art can be explicit or implicit and comes from interactions between form, content, context, media, and genre/style.
- Different artistic genres exist like portrait, landscape, abstraction. Representational art depicts reality while abstraction references it less directly.
- Artistic styles vary widely from classical to romantic to realism to surrealism to pop art. Media also impacts meaning from traditional to contemporary materials. Process is also significant in some works.

Deng-Jiang modernization in the largest conservative backlash
This document summarizes Jiang Zemin's efforts to continue Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms in China following the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, facing resistance from conservative factions. It discusses how Jiang upheld the principle of "socialism with Chinese characteristics" while combining authoritarian and capitalist elements. It also describes how Jiang marginalized conservative figures like Li Peng and softened the stances of Yang Shangkun and Bao Tong to support further economic opening and reform despite ideological opposition. The document analyzes Jiang's dual tactics of appeasing conservatives while advancing reforms to balance these competing aims as he inherited Deng's modernization agenda.

The Designs of Hong Kong
The design industry in Hong Kong forbears diversified innovative explorations. Design professionals can adopt the cultural elements of both China and the West to search for a visual language called "original Hong Kong creativity".
There is no doubt that the current design products in our city are deeply affected by the ever-updating trend of digitalization. But, the design professionals still bear in mind with the principle of aesthetic harmony, no matter in compositions, distribution of iconographies, photographic effects and typographies.
Anson Chan Painting Series - The Tender Heart of Hong Kong
My studio-art concentration during my BA Visual Arts studies at HKBU was Western painting. I chose Anson Chan as the creative theme for my Honours Project. Ms. Cho Yeou-jui and Dr. Daniel Lau Chak-kwong were my Supervisors
MA-History Honours Project - Xu Beihong (15-2-2010)
This document discusses Xu Beihong's use of painting as nationalist propaganda to promote political and ideological changes in China. It summarizes that Xu believed painting should publicize issues like Japanese aggression and weaknesses in the Kuomintang government, in order to raise awareness and support for countering threats to China. Xu was influenced by Cai Yuanpei of the May Fourth Movement, and emphasized patriotic themes and "iconographies" in his paintings to both criticize China and stir civil resonance. He promoted evaluating art based on nationalistic and propagandistic effects rather than just optical and technical merits, in order to make art more accessible and impactful for society.
Art appreciation - Sculptures
This set of notes is for the secondary-school students who have registered for the "Visual Presentation of a Theme" paper session as their HKDSE Visual Arts examination to further study. Sculpture is one of the important topics for "Art Appreciation", and students need to develop a clear concept on both materials and creative methodologies while writing their formal analysis in the "two-artwork aesthetic comparison" questions.
Zhu Xi - ruling ideology of Oriental leaders (HIST Paper)
This document provides a summary of a student paper analyzing Chinese philosopher Zhu Xi's political philosophy and its relevance for contemporary leaders. It discusses four major principles Zhu Xi advocated for rulers: nurturing citizens' livelihood, enriching citizens' wealth, bringing affection to citizens after wealth, and promoting efficient governance after ensuring wealth. It argues rulers should uphold "personnel and ethical harmony" through collaborative relationships and encourage citizens' self-cultivation. Benevolent rulers are willing to bear great responsibility, care for human dignity, uphold morality, and mediate international conflicts to maintain peace. Rulers should minimize individual supremacy and cherish citizens' moral contributions.
The narrative drawings by William Kentridge
William Kentridge is a South African artist born in 1955 in Johannesburg. He is known for his charcoal drawings and stop-motion animated films that often deal with politics and history. His drawings have a monochrome style but sometimes include blue details. He often uses exaggerated motions and expressions in his animated works. Kentridge believes that an artist's drawings should start from real-world observations rather than abstract emotions.
Art Appreciation-Impulse for art
The document discusses Ellen Dissanayake's theory that art is an evolutionary adaptation that allowed early humans to form social bonds and strengthen communities through activities like ritual, tool-making, and symbolism. Dissanayake provides evidence from early human artifacts, children's natural tendencies towards play and pretend, and the integral role of art in rituals. The document contrasts how art functioned in past societies as a normal part of everyday life versus its role as a specialized practice today.
Intro to art appreciation
Appreciation involves recognizing and understanding good qualities or a situation. It is recognizing qualities without necessarily liking or loving something. Art appreciation involves acquiring knowledge about artworks through understanding vocabulary, concepts, themes, processes and materials, as well as the context of the artwork, in order to recognize the good qualities without requiring personal liking. The history of art appreciation developed alongside art history in the 19th century as a way to teach morals and refine sensibilities, initially among elite men but later becoming popular among women as well.

Designelements
This document outlines the basic elements of design including point, line, shape, space, value, texture, and color. Point is defined as a small mark or dot, line as a series connected dots going in a direction, and shape as a 2D area with boundaries. Space refers to the illusion of 3D, value to light and dark relationships or tone, and texture to the tactile quality of a surface. Color is also listed as a basic element of design.
Designintroduction
This document provides an introduction to design theory, covering key definitions, concepts, and processes. It defines design as both a noun and a verb, involving planning and problem-solving visually. Form and content are discussed, where form is the visual elements and composition, while content is the subject matter or information. The design process is outlined as observing, making, and reflecting on sources, experiments, and improvements. Time management, avoiding cliches, and participating in critiques are also covered.

2dlecturefall10
The document discusses the basics of design including definitions of what design is, key aspects of 2D design, the Bauhaus school of art and design, Gestalt theory of visual perception, and the evolution of design principles over time. Specifically, it defines design as the purposeful arrangement of visual elements to create meaning or function. It outlines the traditional focus of design disciplines and how design now permeates culture. Bauhaus had a major influence on modernist art and design with its focus on clean lines, geometry and functionalism. Gestalt theory holds that humans perceive unified structures and patterns through principles like proximity, similarity, closure and continuity. Contemporary design has added contextual and conceptual elements and principles like fragmentation and layering.
Line In 3 D
Linear form in 3D design can be defined by its direction, orientation, continuity, and quality as being smooth, jagged, or flowing. Lines have an actual visual appearance or can be implied without a visible graphic line. Different types of lines include actual drawn or visible lines, as well as implied lines that guide the eye without a physical line being present.
