Principles of art

Movement

Movement shows actions, or alternatively, the path the viewer's eye follows throughout an artwork. Movement is caused by using elements under the rules of the principles in picture to give the feeling of motion and to guide the viewer's eyes throughout the artwork. In movement an art should flow, because the artist has the ability to control the viewer's eye. The artists control what the viewers see and how they see it, like a path leading across the page to the item the artist wants the viewer's attention focused on.

Techniques such as scale and proportion can be used to create an effect of movement in a visual artwork. For instance, an element that is further into the background is smaller in scale and lighter in value. The same element repeated in different places within the same image can also demonstrate the passing of time or movement.[

Harmony

Harmony is achieved in a physical body of work by using small similar particles throughout the course, and gives a complicated look to a piece of work or drawing.

Colour harmony or colour theory is also considered a principle through the application of the design element of colour.

Variety

Variety is the quality or state of having different forms or types, notable use of contrast, emphasis, difference in size and color.[2]

Rhythm

Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential

Unity

Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness. [2]

Emphasis

Emphasis is where the artist makes a certain part of the artwork stand out, or catch your eye. [2]

Balance

(l-r) symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial balance

Balance is arranging elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than any other part. The three different kinds of balance are symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. Symmetrical (or formal) balance is the most stable, in a visual sense. When both sides of an artwork on either side of the horizontal or vertical axis of the picture plane are exactly (or nearly exactly) the same the work is said to exhibit this type of balance. It is also a principle that deals with the visual weight of an artwork.

Proportion

Proportion is a measurement of the size and quantity of elements within a composition. In ancient arts, proportions of forms were enlarged to show importance. This is why Egyptian gods and political figures appear so much larger than common people. The ancient Greeks found fame with their accurately-proportioned sculptures of the human form. Beginning with the Renaissance, artists recognized the connection between proportion and the illusion of 3-dimensional space..

Music of 20th century

Claude-Achille Debussy[1] (French: [klod aʃil dəbysi];[2] 22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) was a French composer. Along withMaurice Ravel, he was one of the most prominent figures associated with Impressionist music, though he himself disliked the term when applied to his compositions.[3] He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour in his native France in 1903.[4] Debussy was among the most influential composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his use of non-traditional scales andchromaticism influenced many composers who followed

Joseph-Maurice Ravel (7 March 1875 – 28 December 1937) was a French composer, pianist and conductor. He is often associated withimpressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. In the 1920s and '30s Ravel was internationally regarded as France's greatest living compose

Leonard Bernstein (/ ̍ b ɜr n s t aɪ n / ;[1] August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American composer, conductor, author, music lecturer, and pianist. He was among the first conductors born and educated in the United States of America to receive worldwide acclaim. According to music critic Donal Henahan, he was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians in American history

edouard Manet (US / m æ ̍ n eɪ /  or UK / ̍ m æ n eɪ / ; French: [edwaʁ manɛ]; 23 January 1832 – 30 April 1883)

was a French painter. He was one of the first 19th-century artists to paint modern life, and a pivotal figure

in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.

His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe) and Olympia, both 1863,

caused great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create

Impressionism. Today, these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art.

Oscar-Claude Monet (/ m oʊ ̍ n eɪ / ; French: [klod mɔnɛ]; 14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a founder of FrenchImpressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.[1][2] The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, commonly known as Auguste Renoir (US / r ɛ n ̍ w ɑr /  or UK / ̍ r ɛ n w ɑr / ; French: [pjɛʁ oɡyst ʁənwaʁ]; 25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919), was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau.

Paul Cézanne (US / s eɪ ̍ z æ n /  or UK / s ɨ ̍ z æ n / ; French: [pɔl sezan]; 1839–1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne's often repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognizable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cézanne's intense study of his subjects.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (Dutch: [ˈvɪnsɛnt ˈʋɪləm vɑn ˈɣɔx] (  listen);[note 1] 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a major Post-Impressionist painter. He was a Dutch artist whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. His output includesportraits, self portraits, landscapes, and still lifes of cypresses, wheat fields and sunflowers. Van Gogh drew as a child but did not paint until his late twenties; he completed many of his best-known works during the last two years of his life. In just over a decade, he produced more than 2,100 artworks, including 860 oil paintings and more than 1,300 watercolors, drawings, sketches and prints.

Delacroix’s painting

the Barque of Dante (French: La Barque de Dante), sometimes known as Dante and Virgil in Hell (Dante et Virgile aux enfers), is the first major painting[1] by the French artist Eugène Delacroix, and

one of the works signalling a shift in the character of narrative painting from Neo-Classicism towards the Romantic movement. It was completed for the opening of theSalon of 1822 and currently hangs in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.[2]

Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg (German: [ˈaːʁnɔlt ˈʃøːnbɛʁk] (  listen); 13 September 1874 – 13 July 1951) was an Austrian composer and painter, associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School. With the rise of the Nazi Party, by 1938 Schoenberg's works were labelled as degenerate music because he was Jewish (Anon. 1997–2013); he moved to the United States in 1934

Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (sometimes spelled Strawinski, Strawinsky, or Stravinskii; Russian: И́_ горь Фёдорович Страви_ нский, tr.Igorʹ Fëdorovič Stravinskij; IPA: [ˈiɡərʲ ˈfʲɵdərəvʲɪtɕ strɐˈvʲinskʲɪj]; 17 June [O.S. 5 June] 1882 – 6 April 1971) was a Russian (and later, a naturalized French and American) composer, pianist and conductor. He is widely considered one of the most important and influentialcomposers of the 20th century.

Béla Viktor János Bartók (/ ̍ b ɑr t ɒ k / ; Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈbeːlɒ ˈbɒrtoːk]; March 25, 1881 – September 26, 1945) was a Hungariancomposer and pianist. He is considered one of the most important composers of the 20th century; he and Liszt are regarded as Hungary's greatest composers (Gillies 2001). Through his collection and analytical study of folk music, he was one of the founders of comparative musicology, which later became ethnomusicology.

Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (/ p r ɵ ̍ k ɒ f i ɛ v / ; Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев, tr. Sergej Sergeevič Prokof'ev;[n 1] 11/23 April, 1891–March 5, 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor. As the creator of acknowledged masterpieces across numerousmusical genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include such widely heard works as the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Of the established forms and genres in which he worked, he created – excluding juvenilia – seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, and nine completed piano sonatas.

Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (French: [fʁɑy sis ʒɑy maʁsɛl pulɛy k]; 7 January 1899 – 30 January 1963) was a French composer and pianist.

Among his best-known works are the orchestral compositions Rhapsody in Blue (1924) and An American in Paris (1928) as well as the opera Porgy and Bess (1935).

EARTHQUAKE

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, which can be violent enough to destroy major buildings and kill thousands of people. The severity of the shaking can range from barely felt to violent enough to toss people around. Earthquakes have destroyed whole cities. They result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

MOUNTAIN

A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area, usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. Mountains are formed through tectonic forces or volcanism. These forces can locally raise the surface of the earth. Mountains erode slowly through the action of rivers, weather conditions, and glaciers. A few mountains are isolated summits, but most occur in huge mountain ranges.

MOUNTAIN RANGE

A mountain range or mountain belt is a geographic area containing numerous

geologically related mountains. A mountain system or system of mountain ranges,

sometimes is used to combine several geological features that are geographically

(regionally) related.

Mountain ranges are usually segmented by highlands or mountain passes and valleys.

Individual mountains within the same mountain range do not necessarily have the

same geologic structure or petrology. They may be a mix of different orogenic

expressions and terranes, for example thrust sheets, uplifted blocks, fold mountains,

and volcanic landforms resulting in a variety of rock types.

FAULT

A fault is a break in the rocks that make up the Earth’s crust, along which rocks on either side have moved past each otheR.
