*What are the formal properties of art? Color lines contract texture composition
Relief sculpture: a type of sculpture in which forms project from a background surface.
Why Piet Mondrian take this seriously, Vandoesberg not? M is trying to represent the dynamic balance between a opposing natural forces by using horizontal and vertical lines. He is serious because Van has fundamentally different idea about representing his balance. Feature: balance of vertical and horizontal lines, structured, controlling, rigid; create essential harmony, underline reality.
*Explain 3 ideas we have discussed that were fundamental to the development of modern painting. (Fauvism example)
1. Shift from the renaissance idea that painting is a window through which you look to an illusion to the idea that painting is an object(a flat surface with color)
2. Color has meaning in and of itself independence of representation
3. Work of art is self-sufficient(and independent). The relationships within the painting are more important than the painting’s relationship with the outside word.
*How is it that renaissance perspective may be seen as contributing to the development of both the concept of subjectivity and the concept of objectivity?(1 pt linear perspective)
In renaissance perspective when painting, the artist makes a subjective choice(POV) and applies the objective principles of one point linear perspective to their chosen subject.
*In ancient Egyptian frescos and bas-reliefs, what accounts for human figures rendered in different scales? Why?
AN:Larger the figure, higher the status(hierarchy of scale)
*Why is learning the formal properties so important?
AN:-learning the language of art –improve powers of observation –learning to see abstractly
*Picasso and Braque invented collage. They opened the door to new artistic practices and ideas, what are those?
-opened possibilities for conclusion of new artistic materials –undermined the ‘’craft aesthetic’’ [idea that the
