Negative space art - noma bar __
Israeli illustrator Noma Bar uses negative space in his clever illustrations to convey thought-provoking ideas. His simple yet clever artwork leaves viewers impressed by how he relies on surrounding space, not lines, to provide shape and meaning. Bar has illustrated over 60 magazine covers and published two books exploring negative space and its ability to reference uncomfortable topics.
Op Art
Optical Art, also known as Op Art, uses simple shapes and colors to create visual effects like vibrating patterns, blurred lines between foreground and background, exaggerated depth perception, and other illusions. In the 1960s, the term "Op Art" was coined to describe abstract paintings by artists like Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley, who led the movement. Their works used repetition and geometric shapes to create the impression of movement or shifting perspective in the eye of the viewer.
Gesture drawing
Gesture drawing focuses on capturing the essence and movement of a subject quickly before the moment passes. It is not meant to be a precise representation, but rather a way to depict the overall form through loose, quick lines that show weight and energy. Gesture drawings help practice capturing an object's movement and energy in a short time period without details, making them useful for warm-ups before more serious drawings.
Pen And Ink
While pen and ink drawings cannot technically create tonal values, there are techniques that can create the illusion of value through hatching, crosshatching, and scumbling. Hatching uses parallel lines to fill an area and appear darker from a distance. Crosshatching layers lines at angles to each other. Scumbling uses small, varied scribbles to build texture and value. These techniques allow pen and ink drawings to suggest light and shadow through line work alone.
Value drawing
Value drawing uses ranges of tones from light to dark to create a three-dimensional illusion without outlines. Key aspects of value drawing include using a range of tones from white to black to define shapes, eliminating outlines in favor of using value differences to describe objects, and thinking in terms of shading areas rather than lines. Successful value drawings use light and dark tones throughout the entire composition.
Abstract art
Abstract art developed in the late 19th century as artists felt a need for a new art form that reflected the fundamental changes in technology, science, and philosophy. It uses forms, colors, and lines instead of attempting to represent recognizable reality. In the 20th century, several movements contributed to abstract art becoming more removed from visual references, including Romanticism, Impressionism, and Expressionism. Artists like Kandinsky and Mondrian were also influenced by Eastern and occult philosophies. During this time, abstract art developed in Russia, Germany, France, and the United States. It became an international art movement as artists fled Europe during World War II and spread abstract styles around the world.
Week1 Art or Not
The document discusses the definitions and nature of art. It explores what distinguishes art from other objects and experiences, examining factors like the intentions of the creator, the role of the audience, and the cultural and historical contexts of the work.

Element of Art - Value
Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a color, which is achieved through shading techniques like stippling, hatching, cross-hatching, and blending. Value scales can be used for shading practice and to determine if the correct values are used in an artwork. Good art incorporates a variety of values, ranging from black to white. The document discusses value and provides examples of common shading techniques.
Abstract art
By the late 19th century, European artists felt the need for a new form of art that reflected the fundamental changes in technology, science, and philosophy. Total abstraction bears no trace of anything recognizable and is considered non-representational by the artist, who views the work as merely design and composition without meaning. The document then provides examples of artists from Van Gogh to local contemporary artists who have contributed to the development of abstract art in various movements from Post-Impressionism to Color Field art.
What is Op Art?
Op Art, also known as Optical Art, was an art movement that developed in the United States in the mid-1960s. It uses color and abstract patterns to create the illusion of movement through optical effects and illusions. Artists employ shapes, colors like black and white, and special patterns to generate images that appear to vibrate or move. Unlike traditional paintings, Op Art aims to reach out to the viewer rather than draw the viewer into the work.
4th grade notan use
This document defines key concepts in art related to shape, space, and composition. It explains that space is the area around objects, positive space is the objects or forms, and negative space is the empty area between objects. It then defines composition as the arrangement of positive space and discusses the Japanese concept of Notan, which emphasizes balance between positive and negative space. The document concludes by explaining an exercise called Expansion of the Square that applies these concepts of balance, positive space, and negative space.
Power In Portraiture
Using the images of Kehinde Wiley and a discussion of how power is portrayed in portraiture as an introduction to a self portrait unit.
Conceptual art presentation (1)
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.
Notan
The document provides instructions for learning about the concept of Notan, which is the Japanese term for the relationship between dark and light in design. It will cover the artistic elements of positive and negative space, geometric and organic shapes, and symmetry and asymmetry. Students will then examine works by architect Frank Gehry to analyze how he incorporates these Notan concepts. Finally, students will view examples of Notan squares and create their own by cutting shapes from a black paper square and gluing the cutouts in mirrored positions.
Still life drawing
This document provides instructions for a still life drawing exercise using chiaroscuro techniques. It recommends setting up a simple still life with directional lighting to create shadows and highlights. The instructions describe toning the paper with charcoal dust, then lightly sketching the composition and adding darks with charcoal while subtracting lights with an eraser. Finishing touches include ensuring outlines belong to objects or the background and leaving some objects extending off the edges. The goal is to create a naturalistic drawing using the subtractive and additive process.
Metal tooling repousse
Repoussé is a metalworking technique where designs are raised on one side of a metal sheet by pushing from the reverse side using hammers and other tools. It is an ancient art form dating back over 3,000 years, found in artifacts from cultures like the Mycenaeans and Mayans. Today, repoussé is still used for jewelry, sculpture, and other decorative metal objects. The presentation provides examples of repoussé from different time periods and cultures and explains the basic repoussé process.
Art Critique Words
The document provides a list of terms related to the visual arts organized under the headings of line, shape/form, color, texture, space, value, principles, themes, technique/form, and style or period. It includes words like blurred, broken, curved, and diagonal under line; amorphous, biomorphic, closed, and geometric under shape/form; brash, bright, calm, and cool under color; actual, bumpy, corrugated, and furry under texture; ambiguous, deep, flat, and negative/positive under space; dark, light, and medium under value; balance, contrast, emphasis, and harmony under principles; adoration, children, cityscape, and mythology under
Fine art photography
Fine art photography emerged as a reaction against photography's documentary uses and as a move towards emphasizing aesthetic form over social context. Key figures like Alfred Stieglitz promoted photography as an art focused on composition, tone, and using the gallery space to elevate photographs to an art status. Over time, fine art photography incorporated more genres and subjects while still emphasizing the formal qualities of an image.
Element of art form
Form is one of the basic building blocks of art and refers to a three-dimensional shape that takes up space. There are two categories of forms: geometric forms like spheres, cubes, and cylinders that are precise mathematical shapes, and organic forms that are free-flowing and irregular like leaves or clouds found in nature. In art, forms can be depicted in two ways - as real, sculptural forms or as implied forms using techniques like shading to create the illusion of depth and volume on a two-dimensional surface. Examples of different types of three-dimensional forms include sculptures, ceramics, architectural structures, and earthworks.
Chiaroscuro photography
Giorgio Frattolillo is creating a final photography project focused on chiaroscuro style, which uses extreme contrast between light and dark. They will take portraits emphasizing shadows on faces and bodies. Frattolillo researches photographers like Alfred Kypta and Charles Heckel, who use strong monotone contrasts. They conduct a first photoshoot experimenting with spotlights on a subject. Photos are then edited to enhance contrasts between light and gray tones. A second shoot aims to emulate Charles Heckel's style of a lighter face against a dark background.
Element of Art - Shape 2
The document discusses two types of shapes used in art - geometric and organic shapes. Geometric shapes are precise shapes like squares, circles, and triangles that follow set rules. Organic shapes are more free-form shapes found in nature like leaves or raindrops. The document instructs students to create a piece of artwork using both geometric and organic shapes by overlapping them with markers and paint. Tips are provided on using color, staying in lines, and including a variety of shapes.
Year 9 gcse natural forms boards 2014
This document provides instructions for a Year 9 project creating an artist board researching artists who use natural forms in their work. Students are asked to research three artists - one who primarily works with paint, one who works in monochrome, and one who works with printmaking. For each artist, students should find information, images of their work, and create a transcription as well as adding their own opinions. Examples of natural forms that could be used include leaves, flowers, shells, and animals.
AHSArt: Charcoal on Toned Ground + Value
Mrs. Davis introduces charcoal types and techniques, how to use a toned ground and tone your own ground, how the value of the ground you use plays with the value scale.
Composition
The document discusses principles of composition including the rule of thirds and golden section. It provides examples of how artists like Edward Hopper, Seurat, Mondrian, Duchamp, and Dali employ these techniques to direct the viewer's eye and create emphasis, movement, rhythm, balance, and unity within their works. Placement of the main point of interest is important to engage the viewer and achieve the artist's intent.
Color Review & Johannes Itten
Color theory document discusses:
1) The basics of color including that color is a property of light, objects reflect wavelengths, and light is made of all colors.
2) Color mixing including the additive and subtractive systems, primary/secondary/tertiary colors, and complimentary colors.
3) Properties of color including hue, value, and intensity.
4) Additional color concepts like warm/cool colors, visual mixing, color schemes, color discord, and Johannes Itten's 7 color contrasts.
Portraiture year 7_compressed-1
Here are the key steps to drawing a mouth:
1. Draw a straight or curved guideline for the top and bottom lips.
2. Draw a small circle in the center for the bow of the upper lip.
3. Draw smaller circles above the guideline for the corners of the mouth.
4. Draw curved lines connecting the circles to form the lips.
5. Add definition and shadows inside the mouth opening.
Practice paying attention to the shapes and proportions. Referencing photos can help capture realistic details. Take your time observing and sketching mouths to improve your skills.
High School Form Photography Lesson
Form is one of the seven art elements and refers to a three-dimensional geometrical figure. It differs from shape in that it encloses volume with width, height, and depth, whereas a shape only has width and height as it is two-dimensional. The document provides biographical details of the influential American photographer Edward Weston, noting his early interest in photography, portrait work, move to California, and shift in later years to photographing close-up images of natural forms and textures like shells and vegetables in high detail. Weston is credited with making the commonplace unusual through his artistic photography.
Negative Space!
The document does not contain any substantive information to summarize. It consists of a single word with no context provided. A meaningful summary cannot be generated from this limited input.
Negative Space
Negative space refers to the shapes that exist between objects. By observing the negative spaces between a chair's legs, tree branches, or plants, unique silhouettes emerge. Practicing drawing these negative shapes helps one better see and establish the positive foreground shapes when returning to regular drawing. The document encourages tracing negative spaces from contour drawings and filling them with patterns using graphite pencils to discover the world of negative shapes, as illustrated by Henri Matisse's paintings.

Positive And Negative Space
Positive space refers to the area occupied by an object, while negative space is the space around the object. The document discusses how artists use positive and negative space, giving examples of bottles where the positive space is what the bottles occupy and the negative space is the area around them. Artists can manipulate objects by deliberately leaving certain spaces white or adding patterns to trick the viewer's eyes.
Positive and Negative Space Lesson
Positive space refers to the space occupied by an object, while negative space is the space surrounding an object. The document provides examples showing positive space as the area taken up by bottles or black objects, and negative space as the white area around bottles or the black surrounding a bottle. Artists can manipulate objects by deliberately using or leaving space as positive or negative areas, such as leaving a cutout white to draw the viewer's eye.
Positive and Negative Space Studies
This document discusses positive and negative space studies created by Mr. Brandt's Drawing 1 students at Fort Mill High School in South Carolina in September 2015. The students created drawings that explored the relationship between positive shapes and negative spaces around and between those shapes. Their studies examined how positive and negative spaces interact and relate to each other in a composition.
Elements & principles of design
The document discusses the key elements of design used in visual art - line, shape, space, value, color, and texture. It provides detailed descriptions and examples of each element:
- Line can be actual, implied, or contour lines that define boundaries and suggest movement. Different types include horizontal, vertical, diagonal, wavy, zigzag lines.
- Shape is defined by lines or edges and can be geometric or organic. Positive and negative space are used to manipulate shapes.
- Space can be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Techniques like overlapping shapes, linear perspective, and size variation create a sense of depth and space.
- Value refers to lightness and darkness used through sh
Pos and neg space
Positive space refers to the objects or figures in a work of art, while negative space is the empty areas between and around those objects. Positive space includes shapes, forms, and figures in two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, also known as the figure. Negative space is the empty spaces surrounding the shapes and figures, also called the ground. The document provides examples of a chair representing positive space and the sky representing negative space in art.
Understanding Values, Key and Negative Space
The document discusses the use of values and negative space in design. It defines value as the shades of grey between black and white that create form through light and shadows. A value scale ranges from 0 (black) to 10 (white). Negative space is the empty space around objects that is important for accurately depicting positive space and can be used as a compositional tool. The design project prompts drawing negative spaces around a figure, dividing the image into thirds, and shading each area with high key, low key, and a range of values.
1 ppt shapes and negative space.wimmer
Negative space is the empty area around an object or form. It is important for designers to utilize negative space for accurately depicting the positive space and exploring composition. Negative space allows examination of object composition and their relationship to the space occupied. Shapes can be geometric or organic, and on a flat plane will only appear 3D through edge and value observations. Designers should break apart shapes and analyze edges and values, as well as understand techniques like high key, low key, and contrast which use tonal values and differences to create emphasis.
Positive and Negative Space
This document discusses compositional techniques for visual art and photography. It mentions positive and negative space as well as the rule of thirds, which involves dividing the frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically to place subjects of interest at the intersections. The golden mean is also referenced, which involves positioning elements in an asymmetrical but visually pleasing arrangement.
Popular logos with hidden symbolism
This document discusses several popular logos that contain hidden symbolisms or meanings not immediately apparent. It provides examples of logos for companies or organizations like the Big Ten conference, Goodwill, Amazon, Toblerone, Baskin Robins, FedEx, Continental Airlines, the Milwaukee Brewers, and Northwest Airlines that encode additional symbolic information through negative space, embedded images, or other subtle design elements related to their business, history or values.

Basic Theory of Architecture
The document provides an introduction to the basic elements and concepts of architecture. It discusses key spatial elements like points, lines, planes and volumes that define architectural space. It describes different types of planes such as vertical wall planes, horizontal base planes that can be elevated or depressed, and overhead planes like ceilings and roofs. It explains how these different planes are used to define, articulate and organize interior and exterior spaces. Linear elements like columns, walls and structural frames are also summarized as defining edges and corners of spaces while providing structure.
Psychology of colors
This document discusses color psychology and the effects of different colors. It begins by defining color psychology as the science explaining the connection between colors and human psychology. Various colors are then examined, including how they can impact mood, stress levels, and behavior. For example, the document notes that the color red can increase appetite and heart rate, while blue is generally calming. It also explores how brands use color symbolism in their logos. The document concludes by mentioning scientific research showing that colors can have physiological impacts through their energetic vibrations.
