Visual Communication - Element of Design: Form

Form is combining shape and value tto create the illusion of a three-dimensional subject on a flat surface.

Form is an element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume, including height, width and depth. Form may also be free flow.

The Principle of Organisation.
 The artist’s task is to bring order out of chaos, and whether the imagery is objective or non-objective, and is selected from the media and medium. Artist then begins by organizing the elements of art, such as line, shape, value, texture and color, and apply the 7 principles of design.
This is the organising process, which can be variously termed composition or design.

Form and Visual Ordering.
A completed work of art has three components:
1. Subject.
2. Form.
3. Content.

The components change only in the degree of emphasis. When we see images, we take a part in visual forming in an orderly manner.

Artists are visual formers with a plan. With materials, they can arrange the elements of design accordingly.

Elements of Design:

Point

Line

Shape

Texture

Value

Colour

Form

The elements of art are employed according to the principles of organisation, which has two paths, harmony and variety.

Harmony involves repetiton, rhythm, closure, or visual links. It could be one, or a combination of two or three, or all of them.

Variety involves factors of difference, contrast or elaboration.

With harmony and variety combined, they create the principles of organisation, which are:

Balance

Proportion

Dominance

Movement

Economy

which, in turn, creates space in order to produce unity in the visual arts.

Visual Communication - Element of Design: Texture

Texture is an experience we always have with us. Because whenever we touch something, we can feel its texture. Texture is unique among the other art elements. Texture is the surface quality, or feeling, of an object and its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc.

Texture has two types, tactile and visual. Tactile means, of or connected to the sense of touch, so a tractile texture is the actual feel of an object in 3D.
Visual texture is the illusion of the surface of the object's texture. And it can visualise what a tactile texture look like in 2D. Texture in photographs are examples of visual textire. No matter how rough the objects in the photographs look, the surface of the photograph is smooth and flat.

There are 4 types of textures:
-Actual texture
-Simulated texture
-Abstract texture
-Invented texture

Actual texture is the real thing. The surface of an object can be expreienced through the sense of touch. We often descibe objects that are smooth, rough, soft, hard, fuzzy, silky, etc.

Simulated texture means that the surface of an object looks real, but in fact, it isn't. That's why it's called simulated texture.

Abstract textures usually display some hint of the original texture, and has been modified to suit the artist's particular needs.

Invented texture is, well, invented. It can be made up by artists' imagination, and it is not simulated or taken from real-world textures. Invented textures created by artists can be seen in abstract or non-objective artworks.

There are 3 ways to create texture:
1. Folding paper
2. Rubbing
3. Stamping

There may be more than 3 ways to create textures; just be creative, use your imagination and think outside the box.
