SPACE, VOLUME. PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES

SPACE, 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 bigger fig- ures in the bottom part of the picture
   • SUPERIMPOSITION OR OVERLAPPING
     • When two or more flat figures are superimposed the ones on top are positioned in front and closer to the viewer
   • TRANSPARENCY
     • Is a variant of the superimposition criterion
   • CONTRAST
     • IN THE DEFINITION OF FORMS
       • We see forms represented in vivid and contrasting colours as being closer and we see forms in fainter colours as being further away
     • IN COLOURS
       • Forms represented with clear outlines and details seem closer while forms that are further away appear less defined

2. CHIAROSCURO

   • Artists often use the chiaroscuro and shading technique to define these figures
     • This contrast allows observers to perceive relief in a drawing
       • NATURAL
       • ARTIFICIAL
   • LIGHT
     • THERE ARE TO TYPES OF LIGHT, DIRECT OR REFLECTED
   • Tones distribute shadows in drawings. Brightness determines the tone value
   • VALUE
     • HIGHLIGHT, MIDDLE TONE AREA, SHADOW, REFLECTION

3. DRAWING TECHNIQUES

   • PENCILS
     • These fine tubes with graphite or a similar material called lead have wood casing or fit inside a lead holder
     • Lead receives a code when manu- factured that determines its hardness level
   • CHARCOAL
     • Charcoal is a small bar of vegetable coal
     • It needs paper with a thicker grain than for pencils, such as Ingres, because its surface absorbs better and permits blurring of these fine bits of coal

4. COLOUR AND PAINTING TECHNIQUES

   • Pastels and wax crayons
     • These are dried paints glued together with a similar liquid as charcoal
   • Coloured pencils
     • Are similar to graphite ones but they contain coloured leads. Their colours vary and consist of coloured pigments glued together with wax

5. ENGRAVING

   • Is a stamp obtained from printing a mould specific parts of this engraving can hold ink
   • 4 TYPES
     • Planographic printing
     • Hole printing
     • Screen printing
     • Relief printing

6. COLLAGE

   • Is like different pieces of material glued onto a surface form a composition

7. THE CREATIVE PROCESS

   • We can define the creative process as the chronological order of phases to follow that define how we apply our creativity
   • Process
     • 4th production
     • 3rd evaluation
     • 2nd conversion of information into ideas
     • 1st preparation
