SPACE AND VOLUME -> PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES

1. RELATIONS OF PROXIMITY AND DISTANCE BETWEEN FLAT FORMS

   • Different sizes
     • To create space or a sense of depth, we put the smaller figures further away.
   • Superimposition or overlapping
     • When two or more flat figures are superimposed
   • Transparency
     • is a variant of the superimposition criterion.
   • Contrast
     • In colours
       • Warm colours
         • give a sense of proximity
         • red
         • yellow
         • orange
       • cool colours
         • give a sense of depth and distance.
         • blue
         • green
     • In the definition of forms
       • Forms represented with clear outlines

2. CHIAROSCURO

   • used to define the figures.
   • Drawings based simply on lines
   • Chiaroscuro plays the same visual game as light and shadow.
   • Light sources can be:
     • natural
     • artificial
   • Light can be:
     • Direct
     • Reflected
   • Values occupy four zones:
     • Highlight
     • Middle tone area
     • Shadow
     • Reflection

3. DRAWING TECHNIQUES

   • Pencils
     • Pencils are the most widely used drawing instruments.
     • graphite or a similar material called lead
     • Hard pencil lead is finer
     • Soft leads are thicker and more brittle.
   • Charcoal
     • Charcoal is a small bar of vegetable coal.
     • to make:
       • intense strokes
       • stripes
       • smudges
       • quicker than a pencil.

4. COLOUR AND PAINTING TECHNIQUES

   • Coloured pencils
     • Are similar to graphite ones but they contain coloured leads.
   • Pastels and wax crayons
     • are dried paints glued together with a similar liquid as charcoal.
     • You can even blur them with your fingers or a smudger.

5. ENGRAVING

   • Is a stamp obtained from printing a mould.
   • Four types of printing:
     • Relief printing
     • Hole printing
     • Planographic printing
     • Screen printing

6. COLLAGE

   • Procedure to create a collage
     • Is a new creative form that allows us to unleash our imagination and creativity.
     • Paper and cardboard
     • Solid materials
   • Different pieces of material glued into a surface

7. THE CREATIVE PROCESS

   • Sketches and rough sketches
     • Express an idea through sketches
       • Use of essential stroke
   • Creative process as the chronological order:
     • Preparation.
       • establishing a creative objective
     • Conversion of information into ideas.
     • Evaluation.
     • Production.
