is generally regarded as referring to work made between 1970 and the present

It also implies art that is made by living artists, but essentially _____is seen as something that has never been done before.

 Artists share an interest in nature.

For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces, an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles.”

Most painting in the European tradition was painting the mask. Modern art rejected all that. Our subject matter was the person behind the mask.”

It defined as the units of “building blocks” of matter.

To enumerate, the elements of art and design are the following:

is an element of art.

refers to the orientation of the line.

are normally associated with rest or calm. It also alludes to position of the reclined body at rest

connote elevation or height, which is usually taken to mean exaltation or aspiration for action. Together, these lines communicate stability and firmness.

convey movement and instability, although the progression can be seen

are reminiscent of violence, conflict, or struggle.

these are lines that bend or coil. They allude to softness, grace, flexibility, or even sensuality

These two are related to each other in the sense that they define the space occupied by the object of art.

Shape refers to two dimensions

form refers to three dimensions:

Two categories can be used as a broad distinction:

these shapes find origin in mathematical propositions. As such, its translation and use are often man-made. These include shapes such as squares, triangles, cubes, circles, spheres, and cones, among others.

Those readily occurring in nature, often irregular and asymmetrical. The design of vase is foliage, a sample from a series that made use of morning glories.

related to shape and form is

It is usually inferred from a sense of depth, whether it is real or simulated.

can be simulated through a variety of techniques such as shading.

An illusion of three-dimensionality can be achieved in a twodimensional work.

Perhaps one of the elements that enhance the appeal of an artwork.

Its effect has range, the following the viewer to make responses based on memory, emotion, and instinct, among others.

This element is property of light, as it is reflected off the object

The color wheel corresponds to the first property of color,

this dimension of color gives its name

a. Hue- this dimension of color gives its name. It can be subdivided into:

• Primary colors

• Secondary colors-

six in total, these hues are achieved when primary and secondary colors are mixed.

refers to the brightness or darkness of color.

Often, this is used by artists to create the illusion of depth and solidity, a particular mood, communicate a feeling, or in establishing a scene (day and night)

taken as the source of light in the composition.

the lack or even absence of light.

can be either real or implied

This element in an artwork is experienced through the sense of touch (and sight).

This element renders the art object tactile.

texture can be implied using one technique or a combination of other elements of art.

refers to the texture of the three-dimensional art object.

Is the actual surface of the painting or drawing, where no illusion of a third dimension exists.

There are three types of perspective, grounded on the number of vanishing points used by the artist:

- often used in depicting roads, tracks, hallways, or rows of trees; this type of perspective shows parallel lines that seem to converge at a specific and lone vanishing point, along the horizon line.

pertains to a painting or drawing that makes use of two vanishing points, which can be placed anywhere along the horizon line. It is often used in depicting structures such as houses or buildings in the landscape that are viewed from a specific corner.

in this type of perspective, the viewer is looking at a scene from above or below. As the name suggests, it makes use of the three vanishing points, each corresponding to each axis of the scene.

This principle refers to the distribution of the visual elements in view of their placement in relation to each other.

Whata are the principles of art/design

There are three forms of balance:

the elements used on one side are reflected to the other. This offers the most stable visual sense to any artwork.

the elements are not the same (or the same weight) on each side, putting the heaviness on one side.

there is a central point in the composition, around which elements and objects are distributed.

pertains to the size in relation to what is normal for the figure or object in question.

is the size of the components, or of objects in relation to one another when taken as a composition or a unit.

Proportion can be:

relates to the realistic size relations of visual elements in the artwork, especially for figurative artworks. When it is the accuracy in relation to the real world that the artist is after, this is now referred to as the principal of scale.

fers to the unusual size relations of visual elements, deliberately exaggerating the immensity or minuteness of an object

most common to those that follow canons of perfection, the sizerelations of elements or objects, which achieve the most ideal size-relations.

allows the attention of the viewer to a focal point (s), accentuating or drawing attention to these elements or objects.

is the disparity between the elements that figure into the composition

is the principle that aims to retain the interest by allowing patches or areas that both excite and allow the eye to rest.

it is compositions are intended to imbue a sense of accord or completeness from the artwork.

unity and variety is related to the principle of __, in which the elements or objects achieve a sense of flow and interconnectedness.

It refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the artwork, often guided by areas or elements that are emphasized. These focal points can be lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art, among others.

This is created when an element is repeated, creating implied movement. Variety of repetition helps invigorate rhythm as depicted in the artwork.

Lines, shapes, colors, and other elements may appear in an artwork in recurring manner. This is calle

the image created out of repetition is called

there is a sense of predictability that is conveyed, which in turn imbues the feelings of security and calmness.
