9/16 Lecture on Elements and Principles of Art
Although I had heard some of this lecture in a previous course (ART-160), I found it to be interesting and informative. As I was not an Art major, I found it really helpful to be reminded of the principles to bear in mind when writing and talking about art. I sometimes forget to state the obvious when talking or writing my work. This is an important component to writing and speaking about art because we all see and respond to things differently and it is important to communicate the key elements of a piece so that connections can be made between art and the intent behind it. The lecture also gave me more to think about in regard to my alphabet book. I would like for my book to focus on a particular element so that there is an overall connection and theme throughout my design. I’m thinking about the relationship between letters and colors and how this can play into my book. Maybe an alphabet color wheel? Certain letters would be located on specific color slices for example: A=red. hmmm…maybe the color element upstage the showcasing of the font??…
