Mandalas are circular artworks made using geometric patterns and bright colors. They have spiritual meanings and symbolize the universe across many cultures. Mandalas can be created using various materials like sand, paper, glass, or digitally. They are made for purposes like prayer, healing, or expressing feelings. Tibetan monks and Native Americans traditionally create mandalas for specific cultural reasons.
The document discusses the importance of art in education. It notes that art is often ranked low in the education hierarchy behind subjects like math and science. However, art is important because it allows children to develop their creativity and self-expression. It helps children become more innovative and build self-esteem. The lack of focus on art in K-12 education means students are not developing their whole beings. The document advocates for raising the status of art to a core class and integrating art into other subjects to improve education.
Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and expression of beauty. Interior design involves planning, designing, creating, erecting, and constructing buildings that are functionally efficient, economically viable, and aesthetically pleasing. Key elements of aesthetics include mass and space, proportion, symmetry, balance, contrast, pattern, decoration, and massing. Aesthetic qualities like unity, proportion, scale, balance, symmetry, and rhythm collectively impact the design. Maximizing space and using design principles can help create homes that are beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Interior designers manipulate aesthetic and physical spaces to bring environments into harmony with their purpose.
A collage is a work of art made by assembling different materials such as paper, photographs, or found objects and gluing them to a surface to create a new piece. Collage first emerged as an art form in the early 20th century when artists like Picasso and Braque began incorporating materials into their paintings. There are several types of collages including wood collage using natural wood, decoupage involving placing pictures onto objects, photomontage made from photographs, and digital collage created using computer tools.
This document discusses the elements and principles of art. It defines the core elements of art as form, line, color, texture, and shape. It then explains various properties and categories within each element. The document also outlines several principles of art, including harmony, balance, proportion, emphasis, and similarity/contrast. It provides definitions and methods for achieving each principle, with the overall goal being visual unity and drawing attention to a focal point without sacrificing design coherence.
This document provides an overview of the key visual elements used in art analysis: focal point, color, line, shape, space, texture, perspective, pattern, rhythm, dynamic, intensity, unity & variety, contrast, scale & proportion, and symmetry & asymmetry. It explains these elements and provides examples to demonstrate their application in discussing various visual art forms, with the goal of learning how to critically analyze and communicate about works of art. The elements are tools that artists use to create works and critics use to evaluate them.
This document provides an overview of different types of 2D art and media used in drawing and painting. It discusses drawing media such as pencil, charcoal, chalk and oil pastels. For painting, it outlines different paint types including tempera, acrylics, watercolors and oils. It also briefly touches on digital drawing, architecture/engineering drawings, collage, and art movements that incorporated different media.
Conceptual art emerged in the 1960s-1970s as a reaction against commercialized art. It prioritized ideas over traditional art objects, using images and objects to convey concepts. Influenced by Duchamp's readymades, it questioned what art is. There was no set style, and works took many forms including installations, performances, and land art. Key ideas included art being conceptual rather than material, reducing objects to minimalism, and requiring viewer participation to complete works. Prominent conceptual artists profiled include Damien Hirst, known for installations using medical and domestic items to explore death, and Tracy Emin who used autobiographical works addressing sexuality and relationships.
Design involves understanding customer needs and creating new processes and products to satisfy those needs. Invention creates something new, while innovation implements something new for customers. Effective design starts with understanding students and their abilities, challenges, and motives, rather than just focusing on content coverage. Good design requires more front-end planning to engage students, which increases learning, while poor design leads to more back-end remediation. The design process involves understanding needs, brainstorming ideas, prototyping solutions, and measuring engagement and achievement.

A poster is a visual presentation that outlines a piece of work to stimulate interest and discussion. It should tell a story in a concise, easy to understand format. The poster should begin with a definition of the problem and motivation for the work using bulleted lists, figures, and minimal text. Results should be presented using graphs and figures rather than tables. Conclusions should be brief and leave the reader with a clear message. When designing the poster, typeface should be large enough to read from a distance. Few pages and liberal use of color can make the poster more interesting.
Pixel art uses precise manual arrangement of pixels rather than automated filters or anti-aliasing. Common techniques include dithering using 2x2 pixel patterns, stylized dithering with random squares, and hand anti-aliasing of curves. Minecraft successfully uses many pixel art techniques. Concept art generates visual designs for nonexistent items, characters, or areas for film, animation, or video games. Concept artists must work to deadlines while expressing individual creativity within subject matter constraints. Texture in art describes how a 3D work feels to touch or the visual feel of a 2D work created through techniques like color, line and shape. Media art incorporates emerging technologies like video, sound, and the internet into artistic works to constantly
Pixel art uses precise manual arrangement of pixels to create images without filters or anti-aliasing tools. Dithering uses patterns of two colors to create shades, while stylized dithering uses random 2x2 pixel squares. Anti-aliasing can be done by hand to smooth edges.

The document provides guidelines for waste disposal and storage at a building. It recommends locating the primary waste removal exit in the rear away from public areas. Ample temporary waste storage space should be allocated outside and hidden from view. Dumpsters should be used for waste collection and ensure trucks can access them easily. Food service equipment must meet NSF standards and storage must separate cleaning and food supplies to prevent cross-contamination, with recycling space near the waste area.
Forests play an important economic and ecological role. They provide fuel, fodder, timber and non-timber products that people rely on. Forests also help regulate water cycles, improve soil quality, and provide habitat for biodiversity. Deforestation due to commercial use, population growth, shifting cultivation, and other factors damages these ecological functions by increasing flooding, drought, soil erosion, disrupting water cycles, reducing biodiversity, and enhancing climate change. Sustainable forest management and reduced impact logging techniques aim to balance human and environmental needs.
Rome was founded as a small city-state in the 8th century BC and was originally ruled by a king. In the 6th century BC, the aristocrats overthrew the monarchy and established a republic that lasted over 500 years. The republic transitioned to an empire that dominated the Mediterranean world. Rome's strategic location on the Tiber River allowed it to grow into a powerful commercial center, connecting trade routes across Italy. The republic established consuls and a Senate to represent patricians, but tensions arose until plebeians gained more representation and rights over the centuries. The republic's weaknesses were exposed as Rome expanded, leading to its transformation into a centralized empire.
The document discusses the history of sculpture and paintings in India. It notes that some of the earliest sculptures in India date back to the Indus Valley civilization in stone and bronze. As Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism developed, India produced intricate bronze sculptures and temple carvings. During the Mughal Empire from the 16th to 19th centuries, Mughal miniature paintings flourished, depicting various scenes and portraits. The paintings combined Persian influences with Indian styles and reached their height during the reigns of Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan before declining later on. Rajasthani painting also evolved from the Mughal style in the 18th century royal courts of Rajasthan.
The Bauhaus was an influential art school that operated in Germany between 1919-1932. It began in Weimar from 1919-1925 before relocating to Dessau from 1925-1932. The Bauhaus school emphasized combining crafts and fine arts while incorporating modern industrial materials and techniques into its curriculum.
This document discusses various early 20th century architectural and design movements including Futurism, Constructivism, Cubism, Suprematism, and De Stijl. It provides examples of influential works like Città Nuova, the Lingotto Building, Tatlin's Tower, a Cubist street lamp, House of the Black Madonna, and Rietveld House designed by Gerrit Rietveld that helped pioneer and showcase these emerging styles.
Expressionism was an artistic movement between 1910-1924 where architects distorted building forms to elicit an emotional response from viewers. Key characteristics included the exaggeration of forms, unusual massing, novel materials, and curved roofs to create a sense of movement. Some notable expressionist works included Bruno Taut's Glass Pavilion built in 1914 which used glass as its primary material, Erich Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower from 1921 featuring an expressionist style, and Hans Polzig's Great Theater in Berlin completed in 1919 that distorted traditional forms. However, only a limited number of expressionist buildings were realized due to economic difficulties and the style was later outlawed by the Nazis.
The Deutscher Werkbund was a German organization from 1898-1927 that brought together artists, architects, designers, and industrialists to improve the competitiveness of German companies. It aimed to create high-quality, well-designed products through collaboration between manufacturers and designers. A key figure was Hermann Muthesius, who studied mass production in England and advocated for improving both craft and industrial design in Germany. The Werkbund held exhibitions to promote refined, standardized designs that could be produced at scale. Architect Peter Behrens played a major role by designing factories and offices for companies like AEG, integrating innovative ideas into functional designs.
Adolf Loos was an Austrian architect known for his anti-ornamentation stance expressed in his 1908 book "Ornament and Crime." He believed that ornamentation was wasteful of labor and materials. Loos designed some of the first modern, unornamented buildings in Vienna like the Goldman & Salatsch Building (1910), which had a steel and concrete construction with a bare marble facade. His Steiner House (1910) had large front windows and a semi-circular metal roof to accommodate the site's planning code. Loos developed the concept of Raumoplan, where interconnected spaces of varying heights and functions make up the design rather than separate plans, elevations, and sections. His later Villa Muller (
The document discusses urbanization trends in India and the state of Odisha. It focuses on the city of Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha. Some key points:
- Bhubaneswar has experienced rapid urban growth, with its population doubling every 10-15 years. It is now the largest and fastest growing city in Odisha.
- About one third of Bhubaneswar's population lives in slums lacking basic services. The city faces issues like uncontrolled development, incompatible land uses, and inadequate infrastructure like roads and transportation.
- Past plans for Bhubaneswar include the 1948 plan when it became the new capital, and the 1968 Master Plan. A revised Comp
Charles Correa is an Indian architect known for adapting modernism to non-Western cultures through an emphasis on local vernacular styles, resources, climate and open spaces like courtyards. Some of his notable works discussed include the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya memorial in Ahmedabad using modular units, the high-rise Kanchanjunga Apartments in Mumbai with garden terraces, and low-cost housing projects in India and Peru organized around courtyards for ventilation.
Le Corbusier was a Swiss-French architect who helped plan the city of Chandigarh in India. He designed several key buildings in Chandigarh including the Secretariat, High Court, Assembly building, and Museum and Art Gallery. Le Corbusier divided Chandigarh into sectors based on a grid pattern and established a hierarchy of roads. His buildings featured exposed concrete and brick with minimalist designs. The Open Hand monument in Chandigarh symbolizes peace and unity.
BV Doshi is an Indian architect known for establishing the Center for Environmental Planning and Technology in Ahmedabad. He studied under Le Corbusier in the 1950s and worked with Louis Kahn on the IIM Bangalore campus. Doshi's work is influenced by modernist philosophies but focuses more on the Indian context by providing quality environments suited to local needs and materials. Notable projects include the IIM Bangalore campus which draws from Fatehpur Sikri's layout, the Sangath office complex arranged around courtyards, and the underground Husain-Doshi Gufa art gallery with protruding domical structures. Doshi combines influences from modernism and vernacular Indian architecture in innovative and economical designs.
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It was constructed according to classical Indian architectural principles with six sectors separated by broad streets. The palace quarter at the center includes Hawa Mahal and formal gardens. Jaipur has a hot semi-arid climate with rainfall occurring between June-September. Notable architecture includes the pink-colored walled city with gridded streets and the ornate havelis built around inner courtyards for ventilation in the hot climate.

3. GRAPHICS Graphics are visual presentations on some surface, such as
a wall, canvas, computer screen, paper, or stone to brand,
inform, illustrate, or entertain.
Examples are photographs, drawings, Line Art, graphs,
diagrams ,typography, numbers, symbols, geometric designs,
maps, engineering drawings or other images. Graphics often
combine text, illustration, and color.
Graphic design may consist of the deliberate selection,
creation, or arrangement of typography alone, as in a brochure,
flier, poster, web site, or book without any other element.
Clarity or effective communication may be the objective,
association with other cultural elements may be sought, or
merely, the creation of a distinctive style

5. There are two types of files that can be used in
web pages.
The two types are
.gif and .jpg files.
6. gif files can have up to 256 colors. Frequently, a
file does not need that many colors to look nice
you can reduce the size of the file (and
decrease the load-time) at the time you create
the file by reducing the number of colors in the
file.
gif files can have one color automatically take
on the background color of the page.

8. jpg files tend to be large and thus slow in loading.
They can be compressed or reduced in size to decrease the
load time.
Some scan programs refer to this as "compression"
while other programs refer to it as "quality".
While you are telling the program to save your photograph
as a jpg file, you will be asked what the quality should be.
In general, you want to make the file as small as you can
while retaining a minimum level of quality that is
acceptable to you. Chose the quality you want by adjusting
the slider appropriately.

11. Graphic design is a creative process — most
often involving a client and a designer and usually
completed in conjunction with producers of form
(i.e., printers, programmers, sign makers; etc.) —
undertaken in order to convey a specific message
(or messages) to a targeted audience. The term
"graphic design" can also refer to a number of
artistic and professional disciplines that focus on
visual communication and presentation
12.
13. USES OF GRAPHICS
Graphics are visual elements often used to point readers and viewers to
particular information.
They are also used to supplement text in an effort to aid readers in their
understanding of a particular concept or make the concept more clear or
interesting.
Popular magazines, such as TIME, Wired and Newsweek, usually contain
graphic material in abundance to attract readers, unlike the majority of
scholarly journals.
In computing, they are used to create a graphical interface for the user;
and graphics are one of the five key elements of multimedia technology.
Graphics are among the primary ways of advertising the sale of goods or
services
15. Business
Graphics are commonly used in business and economics to create
financial charts and tables. The term Business Graphics came into use
in the late 1970s, when personal computers became capable of
drawing graphs and charts instead of using a tabular format. Business
Graphics can be used to highlight changes over a period of time.
Advertising is one of the most profitable uses of graphics; artists often
do advertising work or take advertising potential into account when
creating art, to increase the chances of selling the artwork.

17. Education
Graphics are heavily used in textbooks, especially those
concerning subjects such as geography, science, and mathematics,
in order to illustrate theories and concepts, such as the human
anatomy.
Diagrams are also used to label photographs and pictures.
Educational animation is an important emerging field of graphics.
Animated graphics have obvious advantages over static graphics
when explaining subject matter that changes over time.
The Oxford Illustrated Dictionary uses graphics and technical
illustrations to make reading material more interesting and easier to
understand.
In an encyclopedia, graphics are used to illustrate concepts and
show examples of the particular topic being discussed.
18.
19. Film and animation
Computer graphics are often used in the majority of new feature films,
especially those with a large budget.
Films that heavily use computer graphics include The Lord of the Rings
film trilogy, the Harry Potter films, Spider-Man and War of the Worlds.
21. Visual arts
Before any graphic elements may be applied to a design,
the graphic elements must be originated by means of visual art skills.
These graphics are often (but not always)developed by a graphic
designer.
Visual arts include works which are primarily visual in nature using
anything from traditional media, to photography and computer
generated art.
Graphic design principles may be applied to each graphic
art element individually as well as to the final composition.
22. "Visual Arts" is a modern but imprecise umbrella term for a broad
category of art which includes a number of artistic disciplines from
various sub-categories. Its wide ambit renders meaningless any attempt
at definition, so rather than define or compose some diluted meaning for
it, here is a list of its constituent disciplines
23. Photographic Art
The fine art of photography is a twentieth century medium
enabling the artist to capture or create images on photographic film
as an alternative to the traditional 2-D media of canvas, paper or
board.
New computer software graphics packages like Photoshop have
freed the artist-photographer from the dark room, and have carved
out new opportunities for editing, image manipulation and the
creative use of light-sensitive photographic paper.
With the advent of digital cameras, and the emergence of the
specialist gallery of photography, the medium is well placed to
expand further as an independent genre in its own right, or as part
of mixed-media compositions in the area of Assemblage, Collage,
Installation or even Performance art.
24.
25. Conceptual Art
A modern form of contemporary art which gives
priority to an idea presented by visual means that are
themselves secondary to the idea. Conceptual art, while
having no intrinsic financial value, can deliver a
powerful message, and thus has served as a vehicle for
socio-political comment, as well as a broad challenge to
the tradition of a 'work of art' being a crafted unique
object. Indeed, some conceptual artists consider that
art is created by the viewer, not by the artist or the
artwork itself.
26.
27. Animation Fine Art
Animation is the visual art of making a motion picture from a series of
still drawings.
Although twenty first century animation is dominated by computerized
film and video technology, the creative figure drawing skills and
draftsmanship of cartoonists and graphic artists remain an integral part of
the process.
Famous twentieth century animators include J. Stuart Blackton, George
McManus, Max Fleischer, and Walt Disney, and the team from
DreamWorks Animation.
Famous animated film cartoons include Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny and
Donald Duck, Jungle Book, the Simpsons, Shrek and Anime.
28.
29. Land Art
A form of contemporary art, known also as
Earthworks, or Earth Art, this artistic movement
emerged in America during the 1960s when a number
of sculptors and painters - such as Robert Smithson
(1938-73) - determined to heighten public awareness
of Man's relationship with the natural world by
intervening in the landscape in a series of thought-
provoking constructions.
These (frequently massive) land-based interventions or
artworks took a variety of forms, from large-scale land
artworks like man-made curtains reaching across vast
stretches of landscape, the encirclement of whole
islands in colored fabric, and reshaped waterways and
volcanoes, to simple lines of footprints in the earth

31. Basic Page Layout Principles
Once the task of writing and proofreading
your manuscript is complete, the next step
is to create a proper page layout for your
book. The term “page layout” is used
simply to describe the way text and images
are situated on a page. In order for your
book to have a professional look and feel,
there are four basic principles to follow.
33. Contrast
In order for your page layout to be visually appealing and to keep the
readers interest, you should have contrast on your pages. Notice the use of
contrast on this page, color, font size, font style, and bold headings. Use a
contrasting type for headings, keep the headings very different from the
body type. Don't go overboard, use one type for the body copy and a
different one for the headings. Consider a newspaper and how the
headings are larger and bolder.
Alignment
Choose one justification and stick to it. As a rule, center justification
will give the page layout a formal look. It is commonly used for wedding
invitations, formal announcements, etc. Left justification will give your
book a more conservative professional look. Full justification within the
layout will give your book a clean orderly look. With full justification,
your headings could be either left, right, or centered on the page.
34. Repetition
Create a sense of unity throughout your book by adding a few visual
elements that you like, then repeat them throughout your book. Look
through some of your favorite books to see what they have used on the
pages; you may get some inspiration. Perhaps a decorative ornament under
the heading of each chapter, or a decorative drop cap to start each chapter
might give your book a special look.
proximity
Organize your type properly by grouping text together that
relates to each other

37. Typography is the art and technique of arranging type,
type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are
created and modified using a variety of illustration
techniques.
The arrangement of type involves the selection of
typefaces point size, line length, leading (line spacing),
adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking)
and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).
Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors,
typographers, graphic designers, art directors, comic book
artists, graffiti artists, and clerical workers.
Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized
occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new
generations of visual designers and lay users.
38. HISTORY OF TYPOGRAPHY
Typography traces its origins to the first
punches and dies used to make seals and
currency in ancient times.
Typography with movable type was separately
invented in 11th-century China.
Metal type was first invented in Korea during
the Gorye Dynasty around 1230.
Both hand printing systems, however, were
only sporadically used and discontinued after
the introduction of Western lead type and the
printing press
39. TEXT TYPOGRAPHY
In traditional typography, text is composed to create a readable,
coherent, and visually satisfying whole that works invisibly,
without the awareness of the reader.
Choice of font(s) is the primary aspect of text typography—
prose fiction, non-fiction, editorial, educational, religious,
scientific, spiritual and commercial writing all have differing
characteristics and requirements of appropriate typefaces and
fonts.
For historic material established text typefaces are frequently
chosen according to a scheme of historical genre acquired by a
long process of accretion, with considerable overlap between
historical periods.
40. Typography is modulated by orthography and
linguistics, word structures, word frequencies,
morphology , phonetic constructs and linguistic syntax.
42. • Display typography is a potent element in graphic design, where there
is less concern for readability and more potential for using type in an
artistic manner
• Type is combined with negative space, graphic elements and pictures,
forming relationships and dialog between words and images.
• Color and size of type elements are much more prevalent than in text
typography. Most display typography exploits type at larger sizes, where
the details of letter design are magnified.
• Display typography is a potent element in graphic design, where there is
less concern for readability and more potential for using type in an artistic
manner.
• Color is used for its emotional effect in conveying the tone and nature
of subject matter.
44. For monumental lettering proportions of letters
need to be altered as their size and distance from
the viewer increases.
An expert letterer gains understanding of these
nuances through much practice and observation of
their craft.
Letters drawn by hand and for a specific project
have the possibility of being richly specific and
profoundly beautiful in the hand of a master.
Each can also take up to an hour to carve, so it is
no wonder that the automated sandblasting
process has become the industry standard.
45. Interface design
Since the advent of the World Wide Web and computer software
development, many graphic designers have become involved in
interface design.
This has included web design and software design, when end user
interactivity is a design consideration of the layout or interface.
Combining visual communication skills with the interactive
communication skills of user interaction and online branding, graphic
designers often work with software developers and web developers to
create both the look and feel of a web site or software application and
enhance the interactive experience of the user or web site visitor.
An important aspect of interface design is icon design.
47. WEB DESIGN
web design is a broad term used to encompass the way to
create a website—a collection of online content including
documents and applications that reside on a web
server/servers. The website may include text, images,
sounds and other content, and may be interactive.
SOFWARE DESIGN
Software design is a process of problem-solving and
planning for a software solution. After the purpose and
specifications of software are determined, software
developers will design or employ designers to develop a
plan for a solution. It includes low-level component and
algorithm implementation issues as well as the
architectural view.
48. ICON DESIGN
Icon design is the process of designing a graphic symbol
that represents a some real, fantasy or abstract motive,
entity or action. Icon designs can be simple with flat 2D
drawing or a black silhuette , or complex presenting a
combination of graphics design elements such as one or
more linear and radial color gradients, projected shadows,
contour shades, and 3D perspective effects.
The process of icon design can be divided into two
parts: defining the pictogram and creating final design
or illustration.
