The document discusses three principles of design: repetition, which uses elements more than once to structure a viewer's experience; variety, which incorporates visual diversity to avoid monotony and engage the viewer; and gestalt, referring to cognitive psychology principles where the mind seeks patterns and unity, and the overall impression an artifact leaves on viewers as a complete whole.
This very short document contains only a few random words and punctuation marks with no clear meaning or connection between them. It discusses phrases, shapes, and gradations but does not provide any additional context to understand these terms.
Radial symmetry and visual contrast are important factors in animal camouflage and communication. Many animals have radial symmetric patterns that help them blend into their surroundings or send signals to others of their species. These patterns can confuse predators trying to detect the animal's movement or help attract mates through vivid colors and high contrast designs against backgrounds.
Book covers for children's books were redesigned with controversial or inappropriate content including drug use, sexuality, and violence. The redesigned covers aimed to parody and bring attention to how cover design can influence perceptions of a book's content. While thought-provoking, the redesigned covers were not intended for actual children's books due to their inappropriate nature.

Dots, lines, and planes are the basic elements of visual communication and artwork. Dots can be highly expressive when related to each other, suggesting order, dispersion, depth, and texture. Lines are the result of dots moving across a surface, closing spaces and defining forms. Different line types like straight, curved, and broken lines can express rigidity, movement, and imbalance. Planes are flat or three-dimensional surfaces that can take geometric or organic shapes. In art, dots, lines, and planes are used in techniques like pointillism and to create forms and suggest volume.

It discusses the key components of test reports, such as demographic information, test results, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations. It also covers important considerations for writing reports, such as using clear language, being precise, and basing interpretations on reliable data. Different styles for organizing reports are described, such as problem-oriented or person-centered approaches. Technical aspects like following APA format and addressing concerns with computer-generated reports are also outlined.
The visual elements of an image (english version)LARIBERAPLASTICA
The document discusses the basic visual elements of images: dots, lines, planes, color, and texture. It explains that dots are the smallest element, and a line is defined as a dot in motion. Lines have position and direction in space, and help define the outlines of shapes. The combination and manipulation of these basic elements allows artists to represent ideas, sensations and feelings.
Pablo Picasso was a highly influential Spanish painter and sculptor who lived most of his life in France. He co-founded Cubism and helped develop a wide variety of artistic styles. Picasso demonstrated extraordinary talent from a young age, initially painting realistically but experimenting with different techniques and ideas in the early 20th century that changed his style. His revolutionary accomplishments brought him universal fame and wealth, making him one of the most renowned artists of the 20th century.

The document discusses a new paint job for a home. It details that the exterior of the house will be repainted a light blue color to freshen up its appearance. All trim, shutters, and doors will also be repainted the same off-white color to match and provide a unified look. The project is scheduled to begin next week and take approximately 10 days to complete once started.
This document provides guidance for designing a book cover, noting that an effective cover should have appropriate emphasis, fonts, and texture used. It also cautions against unsatisfactory emphasis and designs that are "so bad it's good."
This document discusses repetition, variety, and gestalt as principles of visual design. It defines repetition as using elements more than once to structure a viewer's experience, and variety as incorporating visual diversity to avoid monotony and hold interest through alternating scale, color, or other features. Gestalt is described as an aspect of psychology referring to how the mind perceives unity and closure, relating to the overall feeling or sense of completeness evoked by an artifact for viewers.
point, line, shape, mass, volume, texture, value DEBEAUFORTJacques de Beaufort
This document discusses key elements of art and design including point, line, shape, mass, volume, texture, and value. It defines each element and provides examples. Point is the simplest element that can suggest lines or density. Line can be actual, implied, gestural, contour, or variations thereof. Shape can be geometric, organic, figure/ground, positive/negative. Mass refers to physical bulk while volume is the measurable space an object occupies. Texture can be actual, implied, or invented. Value refers to degrees of lightness and darkness, with contrast being the difference in values.
Contrast refers to the use of opposing elements of art to produce an intensified effect. Visual contrast is the degree of visual difference between elements to emphasize certain parts, while conceptual contrast is an implied opposition of ideas to emphasize unexpected differences.
Balance and weight refer to both the actual and visual equilibrium of elements in a work of art. There are different types of visual balance, including symmetrical balance where visual elements are evenly sized, shaped, and placed, as well as asymmetrical balance where equilibrium is almost but not exactly symmetrical. Visual balance can be achieved through techniques like varying the size, color, shape or frequency of elements to create a sense of equilibrium and tension in a composition.
Rhythm is defined as the movement or variation marked by a regular recurrence of related elements, while an irregular rhythm omits or adds unexpected stresses. Pattern refers to a systematic repetition of an element in a work.
This document discusses principles of visual design including unity, gestalt, repetition/variety, chaos, and proximity. Unity refers to a composition holding together visually as a whole. Gestalt psychology investigates how the mind seeks closure and unity. Repetition and variety use repeating or diverse elements to structure a viewer's experience without becoming monotonous.
This document discusses three principles of design: emphasis, which is using arrangement to make some areas the primary focus; subordination, which also uses arrangement to create a focal point; and focal point, which is the area that grabs and holds a viewer's attention.
Forces can be categorized as either line forces or directional forces. Line forces have magnitude and direction but no line of action, while directional forces have magnitude, direction, and a specific line of action where they apply to an object. Common examples of line forces include tension, compression, and friction. Directional forces include gravity, normal, applied, and reactive forces.
Directional force refers to the compositional means artists use to arrange design elements to move a viewer's eye in a intended way through a work of art. Key directional forces include vertical, horizontal, diagonal, circular and triangular lines or shapes that imply visual lines leading the eye to the focal point. Effective works of art often combine multiple directional forces.
This document discusses size, scale, and proportion in art. It defines scale as the comparative size of elements in relation to other elements or objects. Proportion is defined as the relationship between the sizes of parts and the whole. The document discusses classical proportions like the Golden Rectangle and Golden Section, which are ratios used in art. It also discusses Vitruvian Man, in which Leonardo da Vinci illustrated the harmonious proportions of the human body. The document notes that while Vitruvius defined average body proportions, there is variability between individuals.
Light travels in straight lines until it encounters a new medium, like air and glass, where it can either pass through (refraction) or bounce off of (reflection). Reflection occurs when light hits a smooth surface like a mirror, bouncing at the same angle, while refraction happens when light passes from one medium to another of different density, changing direction as it enters the new medium at a different speed. The bending of light that occurs during refraction can be described using Snell's law, which relates the angle of incidence and refraction based on the densities of the materials.
