1.) Describe three ways to define pattern in art or theory.
Pattern can be described through a texture in the process of knitting.
Pattern can be described through shapes
Pattern can be described through a use of value with the use of grayscale.
2.) How can a grid help to define a pattern?
A grid can have a focal point and in the outer area is a pattern narrowing in on the focal point. Also, it distributes equal weight on both sides throughout the grid.
3.) Describe the similarities and differences in pattern and texture.
Pattern and texture both carries a sense of unity. It also can display a motif throughout the work of art. They can become different in terms of texture describing the quality of objects and pattern being a repetition of the same design.
4.) How can texture be used to create visual interest?
Texture can be used to create visual interest because when an artist seeks to use different shades of gray by referring to the grayscale, it makes the artwork pop instead of looking dull. This texture can only be felt through the viewer’s visual sense.
5.) What is the difference between actual and implied texture.
Actual texture is the use of real objects while implied texture is a copy of the objects texture through the use of imprints.
6.) How do you define a collage?
A collage is described as putting a group of little pictures together, color cut outs, or fabrics incorporated into one big concept.
7.) What is tromp L'oile (French term: to fool the eye).
When the artist uses certain techniques to suggest to the viewer that what they see is actually there.
Chapter 10:
1.) Define Value and Value scale.
Value and value scale go hand and hand. Value is described as the use of light and dark textures.
2.) What is achromatic gray?
Achromatic is a mixture of only black and white.
3.) What is a value contrast?
Value contrast refers to the relationship of light and dark.
4.) How do you create balance in a composition with value?
Creating balance in a composition when value is concerned is simply easy. As long as there's an equal amount of weight (black and white, or shades of gray) distributed on each side then the artist will have an equal balance.
5.) How do you create emphasis with value, give an example.
Creating emphasis with value can be displayed by either focusing on dark or light value or you could go the route of showing a transition from light and dark by using the grayscale. For an example, when creating a collage of only grayscale images, the artist may want to focus on the emphasis of dark value by placing where the viewer's eye may roam.
6.) What is chiaroscuro? What period in art history was the word originally used?
Chiaroscuro is an artistic device of using light and dark to imply depth a volume in all aspects of art.
7.) What is aerial or atmospheric perspective? Give and example.
As the distance increases from the artwork, the painting or drawing becomes grayer.
