HW#4 Part 2
These photos are the perfect examples for this week's vocabulary we are exploring. The different values contrasts creates emphasized focal points that brings the viewers eye right to their faces. There is a clear value scale that demonstrates our value scale and achromatic grey. And the shades of grey around the focal point create an emphasis with value. The lack of texture in their faces contrast with the actual texture in their hair and clothing. And finally there is balance in these pictures due to the fact that the viewer's eye is rapidly moving through out the picture because of the value provided. These are beautiful pictures to provide as examples for this week's homework assignment.
HW#4
Chapter 9
1)Describe 3 ways to define pattern in art or theory?
-An artistic or decorative design
-A series of events that are predictable based on previous events
-Form and style in an artistic work or body of artistic works
2)How can a grid help to define a pattern?
-a grid provides precise restriction lines that helps the contrasting textural patterns conflict to create a functional pattern
3)Compare and contrast pattern and texture?
- a pattern is a decorative creation repeated
- a texture is a creation made to imply an actual texture
Patterns can be intricately placed to create an implied textured, but does not have to be a texture.
Textures are made to replicate other textures.
4)How can texture be used to create visual interest?
Texture often is made from an abundance of lines which can cause visual tension. This often creates the audience to be interested due to the complexity.
5)What is the difference between actual texture and implied texture?
Texture is something one can touch and feel. It is physically capable to be held.
Implied texture is a design that provides an illusion that an actual texture exists.
6) How do you define a collage?
A collage is made from a variety of pictures or objects to tell a story or to create a new picture.
7)What is Tromp l'oile?
Tromp L'oile is a french technique that many artists use. It means to fool the eye. When something is tromp l'oile is means that it looks real or life-like, where it can "fool the eye"
Chapter 10:
1)Define value and value scale.
Value: value is different shadows and darkness that contrast with each other to provide an illusion of depth.
Value scale: Every shade in between white and black.
2) What is achromatic grey?
Different shades of grey mixed together using different amounts of black and white.
3)What is value contrast?
When white and black are directly next to each other in a composition.
4) How do you create balance in a composition using value?

4) How do you create balance in a composition using value?
A balanced composition can be created with value using a consistent light source.
5)How do you create emphasis with value?
To create emphasis with value there must be a focal point made with pure black or white contrasting against its' back ground. Photograph by Sri Prabha
6)What is chiaroscuro? What period in art history was it used?
Chiaroscuro is a method for applying value to a two-dimensional piece of artwork to create the illusion of a three-dimensional solid form used in the 1470s by Leonardo Di Vinci during the renaissance.
7)What is aerial or atmospheric perspective?
This is when a composition is made by looking down upon its subject. This example is done by Jim Leggit

Quote #5
"I've been actively engaged with mythic imagery ever since I picked up that Rackham book, but it really came into focus for me when I moved from London to the country. As I walked the extraordinary landscape of Dartmoor, I looked at the trees and the rocks and the hills and I could see the personality in those forms...then they metamorphosed under my pencil into faeries, goblins and trolls. After Alan and I published "Faeries", he moved on from the subject of faery folklore to illustrate Tolkien and other literary works...while I discovered that my own exploration of Faerieland had only just begun. In the countryside, the old stories seemed to come alive around me; the faeries were a tangible aspect of the landscape, pulses of spirit, emotion, and light. They "insisted" on taking form under my pencil, emerging on the page before me cloaked in archetypal shapes drawn from nature and myth. I'd attracted their attention, you see, and they hadn't finished with me yet.”- Brian Froud
Brian Froud has influenced alot of my work and my life. It is my mom's favorite artist and I've literally been surrounded by his work since I was little.
