Chpt 9:

1-     Repetitive design

2-      A grid helps define patterns because a grid gives a piece a definite and equal guideline too follows to create pattern.

3-     Though both are created normally by repeating the same motif over and over again they differ in the fact that pattern is more often the same design clearly being used over again in a neat manner while texture is slightly different and obscure implying a feel to it.

4-     Texture can evoke our sense of touch by allowing us to read certain patterns as textural associations in our minds.

5-     Actual texture is a texture that can be felt when touched while implied is merely one that can only be perceived through a visual effect.

6-     Collage is a design created by pasting down materials to create a piece of art (ex. Peter Clark’s brown eyed and handsome piece)

7-     Trompe L’oeil is artwork that deceives its viewer into believing that what they’re seeing is the actual thing that the piece is imitating.

Chpt 10:

1-     Value is how light of dark a color is

2-     Achromatic gray is the mixtures of only black and white no color at all

3-      The relationship between areas of dark and light

4-     Equal color value weight on each side of the composition

5-     One can create an emphasis with value by having a contrast of the subjects value to every other value in the piece (in Van Gogh’s self portrait he the central subject is the lightest value with in the piece)

6-     Clear tonal contrast the suggest depth and dramatization in a piece this term was first introduced during the renaissance

7-     Atmospheric perspective is the idea that an object or seen becomes less clear and smaller as it recedes into the background. (Ex. Parmigianino’s Madonna and child with saints)

Abigail Aked, an east London illustrator, combines photographs of her London home and her illustration skills to create one of a kind collages. This collage uses the natural grid layout of the building to make an aesthetically pleasing pattern. Aked photoshops in hand made collages into the opening of her building’s doors and windows. Her piece flawlessly maintains a balance in composition by allowing equal visual weight between the presence of colored and black and white collages through out each quadrant of the piece. It all entails a natural formation of arial perspective and actual and implied textures by utilizing the buildings natural form. The balconies give the viewer an idea of their perspective to the piece and an idea of the depth in the piece from the forward of the balconies to the front of the building. The collages in the window and doors simulate a grainy texture while it is known to the viewer that the brick of building has its own actual texture.
