Art subject in Art

- Representational art refers to objects or events occurring in the real world. This
is also termed as FIGURATIVE ART because the figures depicted are easy to
make out and decipher. Representational art or figurative art represents objects
or events in the real world, usually looking easily recognizable. For example, a
painting of a cat looks very much like a cat– it's quite obvious what the artist is
depicting.

NON REPRESENTATIONAL ART

- Non-Representational Art pertains to the art forms that do not make a

reference to the real world, whether it is a person, place, thing or even a
particular event. It is stripped down to visual elements, such as shapes, lines and
colors that are employed to translate a particular feeling, emotion and even
concept. Music, architecture, and many of the functional arts are
non-representational. Non-objective art is abstract or non-representational art.
It tends to be geometric and does not represent specific objects, people, or other
subjects found in the natural world. One of the best-known non-objective artists is
Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944), a pioneer of abstract art.

3. Fundamental elements of visual arts for identification

FORM
 - ¨Like shapes, forms have length and width. But forms go a step further. They
have depth. A form is an object with three dimensions. You are a
three-dimensional form. So is a tree or a table
- Forms, too, are grouped as either geometric or organic. Examples of geometric
forms are a baseball and a child’s building block. Examples of organic forms are
a stone and a cloud.
- ¨The end of a cylinder is a circle. One side of a cube is a square. A triangle can
“grow” into a pyramid.

SPACE
- Space is the distance or area between, around, above, below, and within things.
Space is empty until objects fill it. All objects take up space. You, for instance, are
a living, breathing from moving through space.
4.Discuss: & principles of Arts Designs ( explain the create)
- Principle is something that can be repeatedly and dependably done with
elements to produce some sort of visual effect in a composition.
- The principles of design are the rules by which an artist uses the elements of
design.
- They suggest how a designer can best arrange the various elements
- They affect the expressive content or the message of the artwork

1. The principle of Balance

- Balance is important in art, too. In art, balance is arranging elements so

that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than, any other
 part. In the real world, balance can be measured on a scale. If two objects
weigh the same, the two sides of the scale will balance. If they do not, one
side of the scale will tip. In art, balance is seen or felt by the viewer. A big,
bold splotch of color off to one side of a painting pulls the viewer’s eye
there. It can make the work seem lopsided. It can make the viewer feel
uncomfortable.
- Artists speak of three kinds of balance. These are formal balance, informal
balance, and radial balance.
3 KINDS OF BALANCE
- Balance Is concerned with arranging elements thus no one part of an
artwork overpowers any other part.
- Formal Balance Formal balance happens when one half of a work is a
mirror image of the other half. Also called symmetrical balance
(suh-meh-trih-kuhl), formal balance is the easiest type to notice.
- Informal Balance In informal balance, two unlike objects are made to
seem to have equal weight. The weight is suggested by the hues, values,
intensities, and shapes of those objects. Also called asymmetrical balance
(ay-suh-meh-trih-kuhl), informal balance often shows up in the way the
artist has used color and shape.
- Radial Balance happens when elements or objects in an artwork are
positioned around a central point. A flower with its petals spreading
outward from the center is an example of radial balance in nature.

2. The principle of Variety

- Imagine that you had to eat the same food every day for a whole year.
Even if the food were your absolute favorite, after a while you would grow
tired of it. You would long for other things to eat – even things you disliked
– just for the change of pace.
- People need change to keep their lives interesting. The same goes for art.
In art, variety is combining one or more elements to create interest. By
giving a work variety, the artist heightens the visual appeal of the work.
- Variety may be brought into play in many different ways. Light values of a
color may be used to break the sameness of mostly dark values of that
color. Straight lines can be a welcome change in a work made up mainly
of curved lines.
- Variety is concerned with combining one or more elements to create
interest or enthusiasm by adding some dramatic changes.
- Human nature follows the popular saying: “variety is the spice of life.”
- Too little variety can become dull and boring.
 - Too much variety may also project disorder and chaos.

3. The principle of Harmony

- On the opposite side of the coin from variety is harmony. Harmony in art,
as in music blending, is blending elements in a pleasing way. Harmony is
uncomplicated and soothing. Often artists use a small number of the same
elements again and again, or in repetition, to bring harmony to a work of
art.
- Skilled artists use the principles of harmony and variety together in
different amounts to bind the parts of a work to the whole. Too much
variety and too little harmony in a work can make it complicated and
confusing. Focusing only on harmony, on the other hand, can make a
work humdrum and uninteresting.
- Harmony is the art of blending elements to create a calm, soothing, and
restful appearance.
- In music, harmony is the arrangement of two or more melodies sounding
together at the same time.

4. The principle of Emphasis

5.
- When people want to call attention to an important word in a sentence,
they will underline it. Underlining a word makes that word stand out from
the rest of the words in the message. It gives emphasis.
- Artists also use emphasis in their messages to viewers. In art, emphasis
is making an element or object in a work stand out. The use of this
principle helps the artist control what part of a work the viewer looks at
first. It also helps the artist control how long the viewer will spend looking
at each of the different parts. Emphasis can be created by contrast, or
extreme changes in an element.
- Emphasis is the art of making an element in a work stand out. To attract
and gain the viewer’s attention to salient aspects of an artwork, artists use
the principle of emphasis.

6. The principle of Proportion

 - Have you ever tried on a piece of clothing and found that it made you look
shorter or taller than you actually are? Perhaps the problem was one of
the proportions. In art, proportion is how part of a work relates to each
other and to the whole.
- Proportion as an art principle is not limited to size. Elements such as
color can be used in differing proportions.
- Proportion is concerned with the relationship of one part to another in
creating the whole.

7. The principle of Movement

- You live in an age of special effects. When you go to the movies

nowadays, you see strange life forms arriving from different galaxies. You
see humans traveling backward in time or dancing with cartoon figures.
These amazing sights and others like them are possible only through
creative imaginations and special effects.
- In art, special effects are nothing new. Artists have been using them for a
long time. One of these effects is movement. Movement is the principle of
art that leads the viewer to sense action in a work or it can be the path the
viewer’s eye follows throughout a work. Artists create movement through a
careful blending of elements like line and shape.
- Through the principle of movement, the artist is able to guide the viewer’s
eye from one part of a painting to the next.
- Movement is used to create the appearance and feeling of action and to
guide a viewer’s eye through the work of art. It encourages the viewer to
scan, visualize, and investigate the artwork.

8. The principle of Rhythm

- Have you ever found yourself tapping your fingers or feet to the beat of a
song? Songs can have catchy rhythms. Sometimes it seems as though we
can feel these rhythms as well as hear them.
- In art, we feel rhythms as well as see them. To the artist, rhythm is the
repeating of an element to make a work seem active.
- Sometimes, to create a rhythm, artists will repeat not just elements but the
same exact objects over and over. When they do this, a pattern is formed
- Rhythm is concerned with repeating elements to make an artwork seem
active. To create rhythm, an artist can repeat not just an element but also
the same exact objects over and over.

Mythological scenes in painting depict the plots and characters of ancient myths, folk tales,
legends and traditions. The culture of Ancient Greece and Rome gave humanity a lot of gods
and heroes who lived an earthly life: they fought for power, created family alliances,
accomplished feats and made intrigues.

As visible religion, art communicates religious beliefs, customs, and values through
iconography and depictions of the human body.

Animal theme art, also known as animal art or animalistic art, focuses on depicting animals
as the primary subject matter. This genre spans various styles and mediums, including painting,
sculpture, drawing, and digital art.

Portraits are artistic representations of people. They can be created in any media, from
traditional oil paintings, to photographs, sculpture and even mixed media. Portraits can show
part figures, usually showing the sitter's head and shoulders, but they can also depict the whole
figure.

The term “still life” describes a work of art that shows inanimate objects from the natural or
man-made world, such as fruit, flowers, dead game, and/or vessels like baskets or bowls.
Looked at another way: still lifes depict things that are “still” and don’t move.

Historical subjects as such can be identifiable and recognized with little trouble; records are
kept, histories are written, and references are usually clear and easy to find. In quite a different
class is legend, the elder sister of history. Legend may be defined as history that is not or cannot
be authenticated. The facts are not verifiable.

Historical Value - Art tells us something significant aspect about the past; art preserves history

Religious Value - It increases the awareness of man’s relationship with God and to promote
better bonds between God and man.
