1. Object
Art: designing and exploring objects
- Elements of Art and Principles of Design – The elements of art are the building blocks an artist uses: line, shape, form, colour, value, texture and space (many teachers also add the point). The principles of design are the rules for arranging those blocks: balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, rhythm and pattern, proportion and scale, and unity with variety. Knowing both helps you make art on purpose and talk about any artwork clearly.
2. Space
Art: architecture and space
- Architecture: How Buildings Stand, Look and Feel – Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and spaces for people. Every building must carry its load to the ground: by post and lintel, by the arch, vault and dome, or by a steel and concrete frame. Each age had its style: Egyptian, Greek and Roman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and modern. Architects plan with drawings (plan, elevation, section), models and CAD, and design space, light and access so that places work and feel good for everyone.
