Unity through Variety. This egyption artwork shows unity through variety even though the person who made it might not have known so. The same basic body structure, skin color, ect makes them unified while their different heads makes them varied.
Unity through Continuity. The piece looks like it was meant to be 2 seperate painting, yet they are one.
Unity through Continuation. The ladies back arches and stays within the same line as the roundness of the tub.
Unity through Repetition. Andy Warhol's repetition painting of marylin monroe is a prime example of unity throught repetition. There is only 1 marylin, painting her 6 times on the same page isn't going to change that. But having her in the exact same position is unity through repetition.
Unity through Proximity. Everything grouped together makes them seem as if they are a whole. Like seeming them as a collection rather than just singles.
Visual Texture. You think that the inside of this pine cone is further away than the leaflets of the pinecone but in reality its a flat piece of paper in which the artist used his skills to make it seem like that.
Tactile Texture. This image is not tactile texture because you can not see texture, if you feel it, it would seem smoothe, not coming off the page. It is not or doesn't feel to be 3 diminsional.
Value as Emphasis. The piece is a perfect example of value as emphasis because the artist put in high contrast around the focal point. A dark silhoette with a dark foreground around a clear sky.
Value in Pattern. The value of the light darks contrasting with the sub-white background show the dominated low key range.
Curvilinear Shapes. The continuous curve in a sea shell seemed to be dead on with curvilinear shapes. Naturally occuring, this creatures home never comes to a piont.
Rectilinear Shapes. This airplane view of farm fields is a perfect example of rectilinear shapes. the angles and geometric shapes of the fields is a hard thing to miss.
Nonobjective Shapes. There is no reason for all these shapes to converge, no ryhme or reason for them to come together. They make no attempt to come together to form another shape (person, horse, car) they are just there for the sake of being there... nonobjective shapes!!
Abstraction. This piece didn't come off as abstract to me at first, mainly because most of the piece seems to look real. But the addition of the face made from the limbs of trees and birds of the sky makes a face, which is the abstract part of this piece.
Idealism. A couple driving down the road is not a new or unreal thing in life. But a man smiling and his GORGEOUS girl smiles while looking at him like he is the best thing to ever happen to her and the sun sets in the background is not unreal, but very close. This is idealism at its finest.
Distortion. This is without a doubt a drawing of the eiffel tower but the artist gave it a big twist. Still resembling the tower yet more interesting to the viewer.
Naturalism. This piece shows the natural beauty of a natural thing in is natural environment.
Lost and Found Contour. This piece and a great example of lost and found contour. Notice how the the shadows on the skin seem to melt into the background leaving small lighter shadows and the mind to make the rest of the image.
Line as Value. The outdoor scene clearly shows where the light is coming from.
Gesture Line. This early form piece of the seven dwarfs from the walt disney movie is a great example of the simple strokes and lines of how a gesture drawing, putting down the basic lines of a piece so one can start the basic proportions of their art work.
Contour Line. The painting uses many colors and movements that are all the basic forms of contour lines which come together to resemble a sort of flower.
Line as Emotion. The lines envoking posture sets the tone for a scene that is uneasy and its almost like it gives off a sense of disappointment. The lines in the face of the man seem to point downward like disappointment and the lines in the face of the woman seem to bring out the form of disbeliefe.
LINE DIRECTION. The line direction brings the viewers eyes into a face with nothing more than just added lines and darker lines.
This piece is a great example for line as shape. The straight lines bring together a rounded face and the composition of this piece is exactly what I was looking for.
