Book Description
Creative Art: Methods and Materials educates readers about a variety of art methods and the ways different civilizations have used them in artistic expression. Each of the fourteen chapters is designed around a specific art method and material, and includes examples of art works and the artists who created them. Students learn about bronze casting, stone carving, clay sculpture, woodcuts and posters, glass work, and installation art. Each method is matched to artists both ancient and modern. Rather than adhering to a standard approach that focuses on white, male, European artists, the book broadens the student's perspective by including often overlooked female artists. Global in approach and comprehensive in coverage of arts forms, representations, and styles throughout history, Creative Art has been developed for sixteen-week courses in art appreciation, or introductory survey courses in art history.

Design Fundamentals: Notes on Visual Elements and Principles of Composition looks and functions like a student's sketchbook with handwritten notes and illustrations that capture the key concepts and assignments taught in a foundation course on the elements and principles of design. More than just a collection of gorgeously illustrated notes, this "notebook" is an essential guide to the basic elements of composition--dot, line, shape, form, color, texture, and pattern--as well as the principles for composing the elements on flat surfaces (paper, canvas, screens) and in three dimensions.

Elements of Design
Author: Gail Freet Hannah
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
ISBN: 1616891742
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
A hands-on book design students and designers alike will welcome. Elements of Design is a tribute to an exceptional teacher and a study of the abstract visual relationships that were her lifelong pursuit. Rowena Reed Kiostellow taught industrial design at Pratt Institute for more than fifty years and the designers she trained-and the designers they're training today-have changed the face of American design. This succinct, instructive, invaluable book reconstructs the series of exercises that led Kostellow's students from the manipulation of simple forms to the creation of complex solutions to difficult design problems. It includes her exercises and commentary along with selected student solutions, and concludes with examples of work from former students who became leaders in the field, including such well-known figures as Tucker Viemeister, Ralph Applebaum, Ted Muehling, and many others.

The Simple Secret to Better Painting
Author: Greg Albert
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1440317518
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Create art that's more attractive, interesting and eye-catching! Even if your perspective is accurate, your subject realistic and colors vibrant, a weak composition - predictable, repetitious or monotonous - means a weak painting. The Simple Secret to Better Painting ensures that your compositions work every time. It's an insightful artistic philosophy that boils down the many technical principles of composition into a single master rule that's easy to remember and apply: Never make any two intervals the same. You can make every painting more interesting, dynamic and technically sound by varying intervals of distance, length and space, as well as intervals of value and color. The rule also applies to balance, shape and the location of your painting's focal point. Greg Albert illustrates these lessons with eye-opening examples from both beginning and professional artists, including Frank Webb, Tony Couch, Kevin Macpherson, Charles Reid, Tony Van Hasselt and more. You'll discover that the ONE RULE is the only rule of composition you need to immediately improve your work - the moment your brush touches the canvas.

It refers to artistic designs that serve a practical purpose but is also aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Applied artists are called artisan, craft persons, or designers. There is a vague line between fine art and applied art. Fine artist and applied artist create and design works of art by employing the seven elements of design, the eight principles of design, and the three aesthetic theories of design. Finally, art is a brain developer. Creativity can enhance perception, conception, cultural awareness, self-expression, and cognition. It is important to become familiar with words such as space, line, shape, value, form, color, and texture. These words describe the unique visual language that is known as the seven elements of design. These basic elements are the essential components of the universal language of art.
