Depth and Value

Question 1

Crosshatching

Answer 1

taking parallel diagonal lines and crossing them with with parallel diagonal lines creates areas of texture and areas of value

Question 2

Stippling

Answer 2

small dots that are placed close together to create a sense of varying density in value

Question 3

Gradating

Answer 3

very gradual shift from light to dar, typically easiest to do with graphite, should be a smooth transition, trying to capture as accurately as possible how light interacts with a surface

Question 4

Highlight

Answer 4

the lightest are of a surface, light is directly hitting and reflecting off a surface

Question 5

Atmospheric Perspective

Answer 5

when things resceed into the distance, they appear lighter. the value shits , and things in the distance don’t have lots of texture = textural gradients

Question 6

Textural Gradients

Answer 6

in the foreground, anything close to us has detail we can see the shift in light and dark in value when something is close to us, the further away you are from a subject, the softer the textual gradients become.

Question 7

High Contrast

Answer 7

a very big difference in values. media can dictate. has an effect on you. you lose a realism of values shifting gradually, things become simplified or abstracted; harsher. black/white, opposites extremes (important for design)

Question 8

Low Contrast

Answer 8

very subtle, not a lot of shifts between light values and dark values. much more muted, softer, not as dramatic. often convoys intimate feelings, quiet.

Question 9

Chiaroscuro

Answer 9

italian, large focus in the Italian renaissance, chiaro=light oscuro=abscured/light. start with a mid-value page instead of a white page 
light and dark.

Question 10

Ways to create depth

Answer 10

Value, atmospheric perspective, textural gradient, size and placement, foreshortening, overlapping, space, colour, and time

Question 11

Value

Answer 11

(shadows + highlights) to create an illusion of depth by shifting value between lights and darks to show that light is reflecting off a 3D object

Question 12

size and placement

Answer 12

(foreground = bigger): objects near the bottom of the page if in the foreground, when we look at a piece of paper we have the assumption that anything on the bottom of the page is on the ground, anything up high are in the sky

Question 13

foreshortening

Answer 13

when you have a shape, and part of it extends out towards you. that part of the shape looks larger than the rest of the object. compression is when that object makes other parts of the object disappearing and may skew the object

Question 14

overlapping (interposition)

Answer 14

parts of objects obscuring other parts of objects is an indication that one object is in front of another

Question 15

space

Answer 15

(similar to shifts in value) red oranges and yellows appear closer, blues and greens tend to reseed into space

Question 16

time

Answer 16

the way we think about time is very linear, timeline. the thought that we can talk about the chronology of depth in one painting. there are different ways to capture time on one picture plane: freeze frame or chronologically. to us time is a movement through space, we are in a moment, the past is behind you and the future is in front of you.
