1.) Enumerate and explain the 3 dimensions of art.

Height
Width
Depth
 Three-dimensional art pieces, presented in the dimensions of height,
width, and depth, occupy physical space and can be perceived from
all sides and angles. On the other hand, two-dimensional works of
art, which are created on flat surfaces, can only be observed in terms
of height and width. Traditional types of three-dimensional media,
like sculptures and reliefs, have been around since the beginning of
human history as evidence of people’s’ need for artistic expression.
2.) Identify and define the 2 color harmonies.
 Complementary
Colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel are considered to be
complementary colors (example: red and green).The high contrast of
complementary colors creates a vibrant look especially when used at full
saturation. This color scheme must be managed well so it is not jarring.
Complementary colors are tricky to use in large doses, but work well when
you want something to stand out.

Analogous
 Analogous color schemes use colors that are next to each other on
the color wheel. They usually match well and create serene and
comfortable designs. Analogous color schemes are often found in
nature and are harmonious and pleasing to the eye. Make sure you
have enough contrast when choosing an analogous color scheme.
Choose one color to dominate, a second to support. The third color
is used (along with black, white or gray) as an accent

3.) Why are the principles of art and design very important?
 Because the principles of art allow us to place some kind of objective reasoning
behind why a great painting is great. This is important as it keeps us from falling
into a vague space where art is no longer able to be defined or critiqued (much
like what has happened with modern art). And the principles of design are made
up of various mixes of the elements of design all put together in one picture,
making the picture look better. When more than one principle is used together an
artist can create artwork that will amaze people and get good publicity, hopefully
benefiting the artist who made them.

4.) There are three levels of Content Art, Semiotic, Iconic and Thematic,

Differentiate the three.

SEMIOTIC
 This is the plane wherein the viewer considers the elements of the
work.
 It considers the aspect of the work such as elements, media, and
technique as signifiers.
 This plane considered that every part of the work carries a potential
meaning.
 Line must not been as merely horizontal or vertical, its density,
porosity, stroke and the like must be observed.

ICONIC

 The term icon pertains to a single image with a unique meaning.

 This plane include the presentation of the figure relative to the
viewer, its positioning, whether frontal profile, among others and
what meaning these orientation conveys.
 It usually answers the following questions: what would be the
difference if the figure was centred or crammed on one side?
What does the direction of the character gaze imply/ why is the
figure cropped?.
 Position of figures
 Style of figurations.

THEMATIC

 This plane requires the knowledge of the time and space aspect of
the work being evaluated. Every pieces has its own history, social,
economic, and political influences.
 It also demands the viewer to know the artist background.
  Themes or context may derived from the significant
circumstances of the artist that will contribute to the
understanding of the meaning of the work.
 Relation of art and society


5.) Define the following terms according to your understanding:

a.) Principle

 Principles represent how the artist uses the elements of art to create
an effect and to help convey the artist intent.

b.) Art Design

 An art design degree studies different visual media like painting,

drawing, sculpture, and graphic design. Art and design majors learn
basic design principles, color theory, critical thinking,
and artistic techniques.

c.) Rhythm in Art

 Refers to the arrangement of shapes in a way which creates an

underlying beat. It is similar to the rhythm of music, but instead of
notes and sounds, we use colors and shapes.

d.) Rule of Thirds

 The rule of thirds describes a basic compositional structure of

a photograph. Taking any image, you can split it into 9 segments by
using 3 vertical and 3 horizontal lines. The rule indicates that you
should place key elements of your scene at one or more of these
areas in a photo.

e.) Balance

 Balance refers to the use of artistic elements such as line, texture,

color, and form in the creation of artworks in a way that renders
visual stability. It is through a reconciliation of opposing forces that
equilibrium or balance of elements is achieved in art.
