to outline shape
to create depth and texture through modeling, stippling, hatching, cross
hatching, and gesture
to suggest direct and movement - horizontal lines sugest stability and
vertical defy gravity

| Shape, Volume and Mass |
Shapes
defined as areas within a compopsition that have boundaries that separates
them from what surrounds them; shapes make these areas distinct - form
speaks to the shapes with sculpture
Types of shape
geometric shape are made of regular and precise lines
organic shapes are made of soft and natural lines
biomorhic shapes create the feeling of ebb and flow
amorphous shapes contain various irregular areas of texture and density
contained within pools of painted materials
Positive shapes refers to the actual shape of and object with a work whereas
the negative space refers to the space not taken up by an object
Mass

Implied mass refers to illusion of mass created with in a space. example;
light shows and wireframe obgects have implied mass
Actual mass refers to items that takew up space and a measurble volume
and weight

Saturation of color is the pureness of the color - pure
hues have the greatest intensity or brightness |
| Texture |
Actual Texture is tactile, you can feel
it when you touch the canvas
Visual Texture is simulated on the canvas
by the artist to create the feeling of texture
Subversive Texture is create to help the
viewer see more and think again about the message the artist is trying convey |
| Space |
Overlapping objects develop space within a work, the
object "in front" is "on top" of the object behind.
Composition models help and provide you with methods for
creating space and overlapping in interesting ways |
| Time and Motion |
Actual Motion refers to live works of art the do move
- mobiles and water art
Implied Motion and time infers that a motion has occurred
or is about to occur |
