Principle of design

1. Principle of design Rhythm & Movement

2. *Is created through rhythm within an artwork. 4 Types of movement : 1.Implied- captures an idea of movement from surrounding shapes, lines, color and images. It will lead you eye, suggesting motion to a focal point.

4. 2.Sequence- a series of images arranged in logical, storytelling order using multiple images.

5. 3.Actual- works that actually move. KINETIC- sculptures that move with belts, chains, motors, gears, or even wind help them function.

8. 4. OPTICAL ART- an illusion used by non-objective works, which have no recognizable subject matter. OP ART-simply has repetitive patterns and lines. It became popular in the 1960’s, allowing viewers to seehidden images, flashing or vibration in the designs. The type of patterns created gives the impression of movement.

9. Bridget Riley She was born in London in 1931. Her father was a painter who had inspired her towards becoming an artist. She developed a knack for drawing people. A lot of her earlier works were based on figurative drawings, which studied the human body. She became an art teacher in the 1950s but still focused on creating her own art in her spare time. It was in the 1960s when Riley began her first OP art paintings. She began working only with geometric shapes like squares lines and ovals. During that time, op art was termed as a “geometric abstraction.”

10. “I couldn’t get near what I wanted through seeing, recognizing, and recreating, so I stood the problem on its head. I started studying squares, rectangles, triangles, and the sensations they give rise to… It is untrue that my work depends on literary impulse or has any illustrative intention. The marks on the canvas are sole and essential in a series of relationships which form the structure of the painting.”

14. Victor Vasarely Vasarely was born in 1906 and died in 1997. He attended the Bauhaus school, which was a famous art school that focused more towards architecture and graphic design. In 1930, he moved to Paris where he began work as a graphic designer, creating posters and advertisements. From then, Vasarely started to work on black and white designs that exhibited pattern type shapes. He then turned to really exploring Kinetic type structures, in the 1960s, that incorporated optical illusions. His sculptures represented movement through the pattern and shapes that he applied to them in order to capture the effects of motion.

20. Create your own Vasarely Sculpture *You will be making your own Optical illusion cube: We will practice drawing optical illusion designs from a handout packet. You then will receive 6 square templates to draw 6 different optical designs that create an idea of movement. We will cut all squares out and paste it together to make a cube.

22. ACTUAL MOVEMENT works that actually move. KINETIC- sculptures that move with belts, chains, motors, gears, or even wind help them function.

25. Sculptures: • Form: 3D – Height, width, and volume. You can hold or walk around something that is 3 dimensional. • Shapes: 2D- Height and width. Shapes are normally flat unless made to have 3 dimensions. Common shapes include squares, triangles, and circles.

26. Form and Shape: 2D & 3D • Geometric- Shapes which has straight sides or regularly shaped curves, such as circle, square, triangle, rectangle • Organic-Shapes that have a flowing or curved appearance to them.

27. Installation Art • Art that 3D is or has been installed, arranged or placed by the artist. • They can be indoor or outdoor • Permanent or Temporary

31. Alexander Calder Alexander Calder was born in 1898. His father was a sculptor and his mother was a painter. Calder presented his parents with two of his first sculptures, a tiny dog and duck cut from a brass sheet and bent into formation. The duck is kinetic and rocked back and forth when tapped. Even at age eleven is artistic ability was present.

32. However, despite all his talents, Calder did not originally set out to become an artist. He instead enrolled at the Stevens Institute of Technology after high school and graduated in 1919 with an engineering degree. Calder worked for several years after graduation at various jobs, including as a hydraulics and automotive engineer, timekeeper in a logging camp, and fireman in a ship's boiler room. Shortly after, Calder decided to turn to his artistic talents and begin to create own unique sculptures.

33. In the fall of 1931, a significant turning point in Calder's artistic career occurred when he created his first truly kinetic sculpture and gave form to an entirely new type of art. The first of these objects moved by systems of cranks and motors, and were dubbed "mobiles" by Marcel Duchamp—in French mobile refers to both "motion" and "motive." Calder soon abandoned the mechanical aspects of these works when he realized he could fashion mobiles that would move on their own with the air's currents.

36. Create Your own Alexander Calder inspired Mobile • Brainstorm a design idea –Turn in sketch for a grade with Movement Worksheet. • Start to use wire and fishing string to assemble your Kinetic Sculpture. • Paint colors of choice and choose shapes to go onto the sculpture.
