 A DARWINIAN
THEORY OF BEAUTY

Charles Darwin developed

the theory of natural
selection, which Dutton uses
to demonstrate how beauty
is not necessarily in the eye
of the beholder but a trait
passed down from our
ancestors.
“The experience of beauty is one of the
ways that evolution has arousing and
sustaining interest or fascination, even
obsession, in order to encourage us
toward making the most adaptive
decisions for survival and reproduction.
” (Dutton)

APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY TO
THE PRODUCTION OF ART

Technology have a huge impact in production of

arts. In line with this newly developed type of art
had been brought to life such as:
 3D PRINTED ART
3D printing is used by a range of artists with a
variety of unique practices, many of whom use the
available technology in different ways.
 ONLINE ART
With the prevalence of the Internet and our constant
visual consumption online, it makes sense that we’re
starting to see artwork, which only exists on the web.
Much of this work challenges the conventions of the art
world since websites can usually be accessed by all and
are difficult to sell on the traditional art market.
 AUGMENTED REALITY
Augmented reality programs use existing cameras and
smart technology to add layers of information and
imagery to a user’s view of the world. Augmented reality
offers a unique crossover between the physical world in
which we live and the digital world in which we spend
much of our time.
 VIRTUAL REALITY
an artificial environment that is created with software and
presented to the user in such a way that the user
suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. On
a computer, virtual reality is primarily experienced
through two of the five senses: sight and sound.
DESIGN AND PRINCIPLES
OF COMPOSITION
 RHYTHM
An underlying beat that leads your eye to view the artwork at a
certain pace. Visual tempo set by repeating elements in a work of
art.
 MOVEMENT
Making a still picture create a sense of motion.
 SCALE
Relationship of parts of an image to the image as a whole, or
to something in the world outside of the image
 PROPORTION
Relationship of parts of a body or form to one another
and of the parts to the whole.
 UNITY
Nothing distracts from the whole Unity without variation
can be uninteresting or bland. But of course, it can also
be an art style (Minimalism)
 BALANCE
Consideration of visual weight and importance There are two
types of balance. o Formal Balance/Symmetrical Sides are similar in
visual weight and almost mirrored. Often looks stiffer and more
formal.
 HARMONY
Complimentary layers or effects can be joined to produce
a more attractive whole
