Figure ground woodblock
Figure Ground relationships involve the interaction between the figure (subject) and ground (surrounding area). The figure is seen as the positive space while the ground is the negative space, and they define each other. Edgar Rubin in 1915 described how one field will be perceived as the figure and the other as the ground. Gestalt psychology later studied similar principles of how humans perceive overall shapes before details. Specific gestalt concepts like reification and multistability relate to how figures can be ambiguously perceived. Several artists like Escher, Longo, and Kusama are known for using ambiguous figure ground relationships in their work.
Colour Theory Symbolism
This document discusses the symbolic meanings associated with different colors throughout history and across cultures. It provides examples of famous artworks that illustrate these symbolic associations, such as Van Gogh's Sunflowers representing the life-giving qualities of yellow. Red symbolizes danger and passion. Blue signifies calmness and spirituality. Purple denotes royalty and luxury while brown evokes earthiness and humility. Black and grey are tied to death and mourning. White represents peace, purity and spirituality. The symbolic meanings of colors have changed over time and vary between cultures.
Contrast as a principle of interior design
Contrast is an important design principle that adds visual interest and drama through the arrangement of opposing elements. It is considered essential for creating successful interior spaces. There are many ways to achieve contrast, including using lines, colors, shapes, textures, forms, and space in contrasting ways such as curved vs straight lines, light vs dark colors, organic vs geometric shapes, rough vs smooth textures, and filled vs empty spaces. Examples show how contrasting these various design elements can enhance interior design.
Color
This document discusses color theory and the classification and properties of colors. It describes color as a sensation that stimulates the eye and influences perceptions of space, mood, and character. Colors are classified based on their origin (primary, secondary from mixing primaries) and hue (position on the color wheel). The primary dimensions of color are described as hue (name and warmth/coolness), value (lightness/darkness), and intensity (distance from grey). Color schemes like monochromatic, analogous, complementary, and split-complementary are explained based on their use of colors on the color wheel.
What are The Elements of Interior Design
This PPT includes some important elements of Interior Design. That some one must keep in mind while designing their place.
Form, Line, Plane, Space, Texture & Color
The document discusses the key elements of three-dimensional design including form, line, plane, space, texture, color, and time. It provides definitions and examples of each element. Form can be volumes, masses, static or dynamic. Lines have qualities like orientation, direction, and continuity. Planes can be used to create volumes and masses. Space can be positive or negative. Texture provides visual or tactile qualities. Color has properties like hue, value, intensity, and temperature. Time can be actual, implied, or viewing time for analysis.
Color psychology
Colors have psychological effects on human behavior and mood. Red stimulates faster heart rate and is associated with passion, while blue is calming and the most popular color. Green symbolizes nature, peace, and growth. Marketers effectively use color to attract consumers and influence their perceptions and choices. Understanding color psychology can help achieve success in business, career, and personal life.

Arts Visual Perception Lecture 1
This document provides an overview of visual perception as it relates to art. It defines key terms like visual, perception, and the visual system. The visual system includes physiological components involved in sight. Gestalt psychology views perception as the mind forming meaningful wholes from the environment. There are several visual perceptual skills discussed, like visual discrimination, figure-ground, closure, and memory. The document also outlines gestalt principles and assigns the reader to create drawings demonstrating these principles and discuss the importance of visual perception in design.
Design Theory - Lecture 01: What is design?
Design can be summarized as the process of imagining and planning changes to existing situations or systems to create preferred future states. This involves envisioning possibilities, making decisions with uncertainty, and predicting effects while accounting for human needs and environmental impacts. Design aims to satisfy people through innovative and purposeful solutions.
Principles of Interior Designing
Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment for the betterment of human functionality.
Psychology of color and harmony
Color psychology explores how colors impact human emotion and behavior. Each color has common associations, such as red with energy and danger. Color schemes like complementary, analogous, and triadic use color theory principles to create visual harmony. Proper use of color can influence decisions, enhance performance, and create desired emotional responses.
Scale & Proportion
The document discusses scale and proportion in design. Scale refers to the size of an object relative to another, often compared to the human body. Proportion is the relative size of parts within an object. In design, scale and proportion are important for layout, composition, and conveying depth and movement. The task is to create a poster for an event using principles of scale and proportion to communicate the key details of the event title, location, date, and time through visual elements and composition.

Color Theory
The document discusses color theory and different aspects of color including:
- The color wheel which shows the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.
- Color values which are the lights and darks of colors created by mixing colors with black or white. Tints are lightened colors mixed with white, and shades are darkened colors mixed with black.
- Warm colors are found on the right side of the color wheel like reds, oranges, and yellows. Cool colors are on the left side like greens, blues, and purples.
- Different color schemes including monochromatic using one color, complementary using opposite colors, analogous using adjacent colors, and
Color
Color is what our eyes see that is reflected or absorbed by light. There are three primary colors - red, yellow, and blue - that can be combined to create all other colors. Secondary colors like orange, green, and purple are created by mixing two primary colors. Color schemes use different types of colors arranged together, such as complementary, analogous, warm, cool, and monochromatic colors. Effective use of color considers both harmony, which creates a pleasing balance, and context, or how color relates to other elements and makes people feel.
Elements of interior design
The document discusses the key elements of interior design: line, space, shape, form, texture, and color. It provides examples and definitions for each element. Line can be used to create movement, harmony, and set form and shape. Space can be positive (filled) or negative (empty). Shape is defined by its dimensions while form includes depth. Texture can be tactile or visual. Color is influenced by hue, value, and intensity and can be organized by primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, or monochromatic schemes.
PROPORTION AND SCALE
The document discusses scale and proportion in art. It defines scale as the size of an object relative to another, often compared to human scale. Proportion refers to the relative size of parts within a whole. It uses Michelangelo's David as an example of ideal proportions in sculpture and life-size scale. The sculpture towers over viewers at over 13 feet tall on a pedestal, giving it a sense of grandeur. It also discusses uses of scale in miniatures and monumental architecture.
Visual Perception
Visual perception refers to how the brain makes sense of what the eyes see. Gestalt laws of perception help explain how the human eye perceives objects or visual elements as coherent wholes rather than individual parts. Some key Gestalt principles include figure-ground, which determines what is the focus versus the background; similarity, which groups like elements; proximity, which groups close elements; and closure, where the eye sees completed shapes and patterns. These principles are useful for interface design to help users quickly understand relationships and organization.
Visual Perception Lecture 2
Visual Perception Lecture 2 talks about some Gestalt Principles and Its possible importance to visual arts.
Gestalt’s principle of perception
Gestalt theory originated in Germany in the late 19th century and focuses on how the mind perceives whole forms and patterns. Some key principles of Gestalt theory are that the mind perceives whole pictures or environments rather than separate parts, and perceives certain elements as figures that stand out against a background or ground. When viewing images, people perceive structures according to principles of proximity, similarity, closure, and simplicity - tending to group elements close together or that are similar, complete incomplete shapes or patterns, and perceive simple and symmetrical forms.
Color and texture in interior design ciu
Pure white light separates into visible colors when passed through a prism. Each color has a single wavelength, and colors can be mixed to form other colors. Red and yellow mix to make orange. Warm colors like red, orange, and yellow evoke emotions ranging from warmth to anger, while cool colors like blue, purple, and green are described as calm but can suggest sadness. Color is the most important and versatile design element and can set moods and impact perceived space. There are different color schemes including neutral, monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, and triad.
Gestalt Theory for Visual Design
The document discusses Gestalt principles of design which describe how the human brain naturally organizes visual elements. It outlines six key principles: focal point, figure/ground relationship, similarity, continuity, closure, and proximity/alignment. These principles can be leveraged in visual design to guide a viewer's attention and perception by exploiting the brain's innate tendencies towards pattern recognition and completion.

Color theory
This document discusses color theory and the basics of working with pigments and dyes. It explains that primary colors are those that cannot be created by mixing other colors, and they can be used to make all other colors. Secondary colors are created by mixing equal parts of two primary colors, and tertiary colors are made by mixing a primary and a secondary color. The color wheel is used to visualize the relationships between colors, including complementary colors that are directly across from each other and contrasting versus harmonic color pairs. Other concepts covered include warm and cold colors, color saturation, value, and applying color theory principles to landscapes.
Green drawing figure_ground_updated
1) Figure-ground relationships refer to how shapes are perceived as either figures that stand out or the surrounding ground.
2) Traditionally, the figure is seen as the identifiable positive shape and the ground is the negative space around it, though they can be interchangeable depending on focus.
3) Negative space can reveal relationships between figures and be used in composition.
Four Black Squares Design Concepts
This document discusses key design concepts used in creating compositions including framing, balance, touching, overlapping, illusory space, contrast, and positive/negative space. It provides definitions and examples of each concept. Framing refers to how objects are positioned within the boundaries of an image. Balance means arranging elements so they appear stable. Touching and overlapping involve placing distinct elements in contact or overlaying one another. Combining size and position creates an illusion of 3D space. Contrast uses differences in size, direction, space and position to suggest meanings. Positive space is the recognizable foreground object while negative space is everything around it.

Three Dimensional Space
The picture plane refers to both the actual surface of the drawing and the imaginary transparent plane through which the artist views the subject. When drawing, the artist looks through the imaginary plane to observe the subject, then transfers this information to the actual drawing surface. Different uses of the picture plane can change the perceived spatial relationship between elements in the drawing.
Cci1 lec 7 definition of design its elements and principle
The document defines key terms related to design including elements of design, principles of design, and the design process. It provides definitions for design, noting it links creativity and innovation to shape ideas for users. Elements of design include point, line, shape, form, space, texture, and color. Principles of design guide the organization of a work and include balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, and unity. The design process involves research, conceptualizing, modeling, interactive adjustment, and redesign.
Elements of Shape
This document discusses the principles and elements of design, including line, shape, direction, size, texture, color, value, and how they relate to shape. It defines shape as a self-contained area with edges created by lines or color/value changes. Shapes can be positive or negative, and are considered a 2D element while volume is 3D. Examples are given of how shapes can organize, connect, separate, symbolize ideas, create movement, provide texture/depth, or convey mood. Shapes in web design can add interest, sustain attention, organize elements, and direct the eye. Geometric, natural, and abstract shapes are also mentioned.
Design Element 3 - "Space"
This document discusses space as a design element, including positive and negative space. Positive space is where design elements are placed, while negative space is the inverse - areas without elements that allow white space to become part of the design. Good use of space balances positive and negative areas. Gestalt principles like proximity, continuity, closure, and figure-ground help define relationships between elements and negative space to influence perception and create unity in design.
Principle of design
The document discusses principles of design including balance, contrast, unity, variety, proportion, and emphasis. It provides examples and definitions for each principle. Balance can be symmetrical, with mirrored elements on both sides, or asymmetrical, with different sized or weighted elements. Contrast uses differences in visual properties to distinguish objects. Unity gives a sense of oneness through organization. Variety introduces changes to avoid dullness. Proportion relates to the sizes of elements. Emphasis creates focal points through contrast or other techniques to draw attention.

The Figure-Ground Relationship in Art
- 1. Figure-Ground Relationship [The relationship between a form or figure and its background] It can also be described as the contrast between positive space (figure) and negative space (background).
- 2. Figure = the focal point Ground = background (we’re NOT talking about the literal ground/sky)
- 3. • Figure-ground refers to a gestalt principle about the way we visually perceive images • Basically, it illustrates our own cognitive ability to separate elements based upon contrast: dark vs. light, black vs. white, red vs. green, there vs. not there.
- 4. What elements are contrasted to show figure-ground relationship?
- 5. In art… Positive space: where something IS Negative space: where something ISN’T
- 6. • Empty spaces have as much significance as the areas that are filled. • Silhouettes: negative space defines the positive
- 7. When the figure-ground relationship is emphasized, both negative AND positive space (and their resulting forms) are important compositional elements that lead your eye around the design. The define each other.
- 9. Project 1 Objectives: • To create a composition demonstrating a balanced figure/ground relationship • To create a design where negative/positive space have equal importance
- 10. Preliminary (Sketchbook) Work: Six thumbnail sketches for possible designs Two compositional studies of your favorite ideas Materials: 1 sheet of scratchboard paper, min. 7.5x11” 1 scratchboard tool
- 11. Process: Develop a design using black and white shapes (circles, squares, triangles, letters, etc) only. Though your impulse will be to create an image with one positive shape and the resulting negative space, you must find a way to balance the importance of the two spaces. Keeping things abstract is often helpful, since figure/ground often leads to a complex optical illusion when made representational. But the student can choose to tackle this challenge if they prefer. I recommend doing 1-2 thumbnails using only your initials. This simplifies the idea, and sometimes helps get the ball rolling for other ideas to follow. DUE: Feb 5
