Week 3 Lecture 3 Flashcards
Determinants
What answers the question “What makes it look like that?”
Determinants
Movement, color, shading, dimensionality, reflection, and form
how many determinants codes are there?
16 total
What can be coded M or human movement?
activity, experience, sensation, and emotion
(fighting, talking, resting, standing, dreaming, feeling sad, thinking, holding arms up, superhuman and supernatural movement, smiling; ALSO
animals involved in exclusively human activities, such as
conversing or frowning)
What can be coded FM or animal movement?
movements performed by animals that are suitable for animals (climbing, swimming, walking, stretching, folding wings)
What can be coded Inanimate movement?
mechanical or inorganic movement
natural forces such as gravity and wind, or even rigor mortis of a
human body, hanging, falling, bleeding, firing, waterfall,
drooping, breaking, OR tension states
What are the modifiers to each movement code?
a=active movement
p=passive movement
When is color coded
on cards II and III if the red is an object or the last three cards if it “determines” the response object
Form Dominance of Color
the balance of color vs form in an object
FC
Form Color response
color contributes to an object but Form is dominant
CF
Color Form response
Color is dominant in response but form contributes
C
Color
color determines a response without form
C’
Achromatic color
“white eyes”
“grey cloud”
“black fur”
Shading
the contrasts or differences in shades of
ink or in the mixing of two colors
Y
Diffuse shading
Coded when the light and dark gradations of ink contribute to a response
V
Vista
Coded when the light and dark gradations of ink give rise to a perception of depth or dimensionality
T
Texture
coded when the light and dark gradations of ink give rise to a tactile quality such as soft, furry, wet, cold
FD
Form Dimension
If no shading is involved with the depth
r
Reflection
coded when a response contains an object and its symmetrically-
identified mirror image or reflection
F
Pure Form
no movement, color, achromatic color, shading, or reflection
