SPACE AND VOLUME. PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES

1. RELATIONS OF PROXIMITY AND DISTANCE BETWEEN FLAT FORMS

   • Organise space correctly and create a sense of depth
     • Types
       • Different sizes
         • bigger figures in the bottom
         • smallers away.
       • Superimposition or overlapping
         • Two or more flat figures are superimposed
       • Transparency
         • Variant of the superimposition criterion
       • Contrast
         • In colours
           • Warm colours (proximity)
           • Cool colours (depth, distance)
         • Definition of forms
           • Clear outlines and details seem closer
           • Further away appear less defined

2. CHIAROSCURO

   • Define figures.
   • Chiaroscuro plays the same visual game as light and shadow.
   • Contrast perceive relief
   • Light
     • Natural (sun or moon)
     • Artificial (flame or lamp).
     • Direct
     • Reflected
   • Shadows
     • Form
     • Cast.
     • Sloped plane.
     • horizontal (ground)
     • vertical (wall)
   • Brightness=tone value
     • Highlight (D)
     • Middle tone (E)
     • Shadow (G) or (H)
     • Reflection (F)
   • Intensities

3. DRAWING TECHNIQUES

   • Pencils
     • Most widely used drawing instruments
     • Fine tubes with graphite
     • Lead
       • Code
         • Hardness level
   • Charcoal
     • small bar of vegetable coal
     • intense strokes, stripes and smudges quicker than a pencil.
     • Paper with a thicker grain
     • Requires sketching or drawing first.

4. COLOUR AND PAINTING TECHNIQUES

   • Coloured pencils
     • similar to graphite but with coloured leads
     • more resistant paper
     • Coloured pigments glued together with wax
   • Dried paints glued together
     • Diagonally helps us obtain clean strokes and fine lines suitable for outlines

5. ENGRAVING

   • Relief printing
     • Linocutting
     • Wood engraving
   • Hole printing
   • Planographic printing
     • lithography
   • Screen printing

6. COLLAGE

   • Different pieces of material glued onto a surface form a composition
     • Conbine with other techniques
   • Procedure to create a collage
     • Paper and cardboard
     • Solid materials

7. THE CREATIVE PROCESS

   • Preparation
   • Conversion of information into ideas.
   • Evaluation
   • Production
   • Sketches and rough sketches
     • very few lines
     • Express an idea
     • Use of essential strokes
