What is the “visual” feel of this charcoal painting?

29. Explain on your guided notes sheet Two ways that Van Gogh creates texture in this painting.

31. What do you think these are made of?

32. SPACE: a perception of depth or dimension.
Defines whether objects are in front or behind other objects, are situated around them, or project from them.

33. Space brings perspective to the artwork.
Perspective is the technique of representing three-dimensional objects and depth relationships on a two-dimensional surface. .

34. Linear Perspective tricks the eye into seeing depth on a flat surface.

35. Linear Perspective…tricking the eye!

36. Linear Perspective…
Tricking the eye!

37. And more linear perspective!

38. One-point Perspective…
Shows forms from a “face-on” vantage point.

39. One-point perspective

40. Two-Point Perspective
Shows an angular view – not “face-on.”

42. Aerial or Atmospheric Perspective: A method of creating the illusion of distance by representing objects farther away with less clarity of contour and in diminished color.

51. Also called TERTIARY colors
Intermediate Hues: Created when mixing together primary and secondary colors.
Also called TERTIARY colors

52. Complementary colors are hues directly opposite one another on the color wheel are.

53. Write down this complementary scheme

54. Complementary Color Scheme

55. When these colors are mixed together, the overall effect diminishes the intensity of the hue.
Intensity: The strength, brightness, or purity of a color. The intensity may be lowered by adding white or black.

56. Intensity…
Notice the intensity gets lighter and darker.

57. Triadic Color Scheme: A color group or color scheme using three colors of equal distance from one another on the color wheel, forming an equilateral triangle.
Red, blue, and green form a triadic color group.

60. Analogous Color Scheme: colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme.
