Question: 1
a.
How is line defined in drawing?
b.
Describe in detail the
five basic kinds of lines and their usages in artwork with examples.
Solution:
Line
Line an element
of art defined by a point moving in space. Line Maybe two-or
three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract. Shape An element
of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width.
Or
Or
The famous Swiss artist Paul Klee gave
line its best description to date:
“A line is a dot that went for a
walk."
Or
a line can be defined as a
straight one- dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends endlessly in
both directions.
Kinds of line
There are five basic
kinds of lines:
1. Curved
2. Vertical
3. Horizontal
4. Zigzag,
5. Diagonal
1)
Vertical lines
Vertical lines are straight
up and down lines that are moving in space without any slant and are
perpendicular to horizontal lines. They suggest height and strength because
they extend towards the sky and seem unshakeable.
2)
Horizontal lines
Horizontal lines are
straight lines parallel to the horizon that moves from left to right. They
suggest width, distance, calmness, and stability.
3)
Diagonal lines
Diagonal lines are straight
lines that slant in any direction except horizontal or vertical. When in use,
they suggest movement or lack of stability.
4)
Zigzag lines
Zigzag lines are a series of
diagonal lines joined at ends. They can convey action and excitement, as well
as restlessness and anxiety.
5)
Curved lines
Curved lines are lines that bend
and change direction gradually. They can be simply wavy or spiral. Such lines
convey the feelings of comfort and ease, as well as sensual quality as they
remind us of the human body.
Question: 2
a.
Define the colors of
color spectrum and discuss the properties of a color.
b.
Make a radial balance
design with the help of elements or principle of art.
Solution:
Colour spectrum
A spectral colour is a colour
that is evoked in a typical human by a single wavelength of light in the
visible spectrum, or by a relatively narrow band of wavelengths, also known as
monochromatic light.
What is the meaning of Colour spectrum?
Colour spectrum - the
distribution of colours produced when light is dispersed by a prism.
Visible Spectrum. Spectrum - an ordered array of the components
of an emission or wave. Electromagnetic Spectrum - the entire
frequency range of electromagnetic waves.
What are the colours of the spectrum in order?
There are seven wavelength ranges
within the visible spectrum that each correspond to a different colour. The colours
fall in an order commonly referred to with the acronym ROYGBIV. ROYGBIV can aid
in remembering the order of the colours:
Red
A part of the warmer colour
family, the primary colour red is a strong, emotionally-intense colour.
Naturally enhancing the metabolic rate in people, it has also been shown to increase respiration rates and blood pressure when people are exposed to it. It's used in traffic systems a lot (think road signs and traffic lights) as red is a high-visibility colour which has plenty of impact.

Some associations of the colour red include:
Ø Energy
Ø Positivity
Ø Action
Ø War
Ø Danger
Ø Strength
Ø Courage
Ø All things intense and passionate
Ø Love
Ø Passion
Ø Desire
Orange
Another colour belonging to the
warm family, orange is often seen as a bright, optimistic and uplifting colour.
Some associations of the colour orange include:
Ø
Enthusiasm
Ø
Happiness
Ø
Gut reactions
Ø
Spontaneity
Ø
Adventure, risk taking
Ø
Autumn and harvest
Ø
Creativity
Ø
Citrus
Ø
Healthy food
Yellow
The last of the main warm
colours, yellow is a bright, creative colour.
Known for its ability to promote clear thinking and quick decision making, yellow is probably most associated with happiness, positive energy and sunshine.

Some associations of the colour yellow include:
Ø Creativity
Ø Sunshine
Ø Happiness
Ø Energy
Ø Cowardice
Ø Deceit
Ø Warnings
Ø Instability
Ø Clarity
Ø Activity
Green
Belonging to the cooler family of
colours, green is a rejuvenating colour and is often described as a natural
peacemaker, due to its many associations with relaxing aspects of nature.
Some associations of the colour green include:
Ø Spring
Ø Growth
Ø Renewal & rebirth
Ø Balance
Ø Nature
Ø Grass & gardens
Ø Stability
Ø Possessiveness
Ø Jealousy
Ø Envy
Ø Fertility
Ø Safety
Ø Money
Ø Recycling
Blue
The coolest of all the main
colours, blue is often seen as a very reliable and tranquil colour, most likely
due to the most obvious association of blue with the sea and the sky.
A conservative colour, it is
often used well in designs that represent cleanliness and an air of
responsibility.
Some associations of the colour blue include:
Ø The sea
Ø The sky
Ø Trust
Ø Honesty
Ø Loyalty
Ø Sincerity
Ø Peace
Ø Tranquillity
Ø Intelligence
Indigo
Indigo is a deep and rich colour close to the colour wheel blue (a primary colour in the RGB colour space), as well as to some variants of ultramarine, based on the ancient dye of the same name.
Some associations with the colour indigo include.
Ø Intuition
Ø Integ
Purple or velvet colour
The last of the cooler colour
family, purple is seen as quite a mysterious colour, usually representing
ambition, royalty and power.
Some associations with the colour purple include:
Ø Royalty
Ø Imagination
Ø Power
Ø Luxury
Ø Wealth
Ø Extravagance
Ø Ambition
Ø Wisdom
Ø Magic
Ø Mystery
Just as a prism can split white
light into different colours, so lights of different colour can
be added together to make white light.
Most of the colours listed do not
reach the maximal (spectral) colourfulness, or are not usually seen with
it, but they can be saturated enough to be perceived closely to
their dominant wavelength spectral colours. Ranges of wavelengths and
frequencies are only approximate.
Wavelengths and
frequencies in gray indicate dominant wavelengths and frequencies,
not actual range of spectrum composing a specified colour, which extends
farther to both sides and is averaged by receptors to give a near-spectral
appearance.
Characteristics of colours
There are three main
characteristics for understanding variations in colour.
These are:
1.
Hue
2.
Saturation
3.
Intensity or brightness
Hue represents the observable
visual difference between two wavelengths of colour. Saturation refers to the
richness or strength of colour. When a beam of red light is projected from the
spectrum onto a white screen, the colour is seen as saturated. All of the light
that comes to the eye from the screen is capable of exciting the sensation of
red. If a beam of white light is then projected onto the same spot as the red,
the red looks diluted. By varying the intensities of the white and red beams,
one can achieve any degree of saturation. In handling pigments, adding white or
gray to a hue is equivalent to adding white light. The result is a decrease in
saturation.
A brightly colour object is one
that reflects or transmits a large portion of the light falling on it, so that
it appears brilliant or luminous. The brightness of the resulting colour will
vary according to the reflecting quality of the object. The greatest amount of
light is reflected on a white screen, while a black screen would not reflect
any light.
PRINCIPLES OF ART
The principles of
art represent how the artist uses the elements
of art to create an effect and to help convey
the artist's intent.
The principles of art and design are:
1. Balance
2. Contrast
3. Emphasis
4. Movement
5. Pattern
6. Rhythm
7. Unity/variety
Radial Balance Design
Radial designs. Radial
balance is any type of balance based on a circle with
its design extending. from centre. A star, the iris around each pupil
of your eyes, a wheel with spokes, and a daisy among many flowers and other
plant forms are examples of radial.
