Read about different ways to describe unity and variety on page 63… Read about different ways to describe unity and variety on page 63 in your textbook: Which of the following two statements best describes the unity and variety in the image above? Da Vinci, L. (1503 – 19). Mona Lisa – Portrait of Lisa Gherardini. [oil on wood]. Louvre Museum, Paris, France. Wikimedia Commons. Retrieved from: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/France-003324_-_Mona_Lisa_%2816236519171%29.jpg 1 options: 1) The painting is unified by the soft edges of the figure of the body and soft tones within the background. 2) There is variety in the color scheme of this painting because the figure and space in which they sit is represented with warm colors and the background with the lake and forest are cool colors. 3) The painting is not balanced because there are is an unequal placement of objects from left to right. 4) There is no repetition in the painting because there are no shapes, objects or colors that repeat.  2 (1 point)         Read about different ways to describe scale and proportion on pages 63 – 64 in your textbook: Which of the following two statements best describes the scale and proportion in the image above? Buonarroti, M. (2016). Pieta. [marble]. St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City. In P. Sachant, Introduction to Art:  Design, Context and Meaning (p. 63). University of North Georgia Press (Original work 1498 – 1500). 2 options: 1) The scale and proportion of this sculpture do not align with what we would experience in the “real-world” because the body of Jesus (the man in the woman’s lap) is quite a bit smaller than the body of Mary (the woman holding the man). For example, if they were to both stand up, the female figure would be significantly larger than the male figure. 2) The body parts of the female figure do not align because they would not resemble the proportions of a human body in the “real-world”. For example, the legs are extremely long. 3) The shapes in this sculpture are organic because they appear as they would in nature and are not geometric. 4) The color in this sculpture is bright due to the strong saturated reds, blues, and greens.  3 (1 point)         Read about different ways to describe rhythm and repetition on page 66 in your textbook: Which of the following two statements best describe rhythm and repetition in the image above? Warhol, A. (2016). Campbell’s Soup Cans. [synthetic polymer paint on thirty-two canvases]. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. In P. Sachant, Introduction to Art:  Design, Context and Meaning (p. 66). University of North Georgia Press (Original work 1962). 3 options: 1) Warhol repeated the same image, Campbell Soup cans, multiple times within this work. 2) The repetition of the Campbell soup cans creates an even, predictable and monotonous rhythm within this work of art. 3) The shapes in this work of art are organic. For example, there are many circles, squares, and rectangles throughout. 4) The lines in this work of art are soft and light.  4 (1 point)         Read about different ways to describe balance on pages 64 – 65 in your textbook: Which of the following two statements best describe balance in the image above? Hokusai, K. (2016). The Great Wave off Kanagawa. [Woodblock print; ink and color on paper]. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. In P. Sachant, Introduction to Art:  Design, Context and Meaning (p. 64). University of North Georgia Press (Original work 1830 – 32). 4 options: 1) The painting is not balanced because the visual weights do not correspond to one another in shape, size, or placement. For example, the large space to the right of Hokusai’s Great Wave “offsets” the approaching wave in the left half of the composition. 2) The painting is asymmetrical because nearly one-third of the composition (the sky) is unoccupied. In other words there are no objects in this area. 3) The perspective is atmospheric because it is a landscape and there is a difference in the level of detail we are able to see in the foreground vs. background. 4) The colors of this painting are warm and neutral because of the yellows and reds throughout.  5 (1 point)         Read about different ways to describe emphasis and movement on pages 65 – 66 in your textbook: Which of the following two statements best describe emphasis and movement in the image above? Van der Weyden, R. (2016). Descent from the Cross (Deposition). [oil on oak panel]. The Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain. In P. Sachant, Introduction to Art:  Design, Context and Meaning (p. 64). University of North Georgia Press (Original work 1435). 5 options: 1) The figure at the center of the painting is emphasized due to the strong contrast between his skin tone (bright and warm) and the background one which he resides (dark and cool). 2) There is movement within this painting that is reinforced by the implied diagonal lines created through the placement of the figures. For example, our eye follows the diagonal line of the body that is being held and is reinforced by the diagonal line created by the woman laying on the ground. 3) This painting is not balanced because the visual weight on each side does not appear to be the same. 4) The colors in this painting are bright and light due to the pastel pinks, blues, and yellows.   Arts & Humanities Architecture ART 102 Share (0)
