OUTLINE
This Painting is by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith called Cherry Orchard. This is an example of outline. An outline is the edge of a shape or figure depicted by an actual line drawn or painted on the surface. This shows outlines of a horse and a bird and a face. They are not complete figures, but the outline gives shape and form for the viewer to see.
This painting is Vincent Van Gogh's Self-Portrait. It is an example of expressive lines. These are used in Expressionism which is an art that stresses the psychological and emotional content of the work. He uses the expressive line to show the pain and emotion he carried through his life. His paintings reflect that and it became his trademark, autographic. The organic nature of these lines give feeling and movement to an otherwise stiff and solemn work of art.
This installation is called Your Mobile Expectations by Olafur Eliasson. It is an example of positive/negative space or shape. The figure that commands our attention is called the positive shape. The empty spaces that acquire a sense of volume and form by means of the outline or frame that surrounds them. He removed the shell of a car leaving just the skeleton and fit a grid over the top of it. On the grid, he sprayed water at sub-zero temperatures to form the outside. But the main focus of the piece is the light from within the negative space.
This painting is called "The School of Athens" and it is by Raphael. It is an example of one-point linear perspective. In this perspective, lines are drawn on the picture plane in such a way as to represent parallel lines receding to a single point on the viewer's horizon, called the vanishing point. In this piece, the vanishing point lies just in between the heads of the 2 men in the top center. This makes the rest of the piece feel 3-D.
This piece is called Liberte by Erik Bulatov. This is an example of two-point linear perspective. This means it uses two vanishing points, which we can see are at either end on the bottom of the painting itself. One at the beginning of the blue word and the other at the end of the red word. This gives the piece a more dynamic shape and form in 3-D.
This painting is part of the Camera Picta, the Ceiling of the Newlyweds, by Andrea Mantegna. It is an example of foreshortening. The artist has made the dimensions of the closer things adjusted in order to make up for the distortion created by the point of view. This creates the 3-D image on a 2-D plane appear that we are looking up through this structure.
