Types of Lines, Formal Elements, and the Negative Space in Art

1 Which of the types of lines that we studied, can you identify in the Jean-Michel Basquiat painting above? Contour lines? Outlines? Expressive lines? Analytical lines?
The type of line that can be identified in the Jean-Michel Basquiat is the contour lines, as they demonstrate the figure's three-dimensional qualities. The contour lines give a more descriptive sense of the face and the soft curves of the flesh.
Describe the differing lines here:
* In art, an analytical line is one that follows a linear, geometrical, or precise line. The most common types of analytical lines are horizontal, vertical, or angled lines.
* Expressive lines reflect the artist's feelings. Lines like curves or waves visible in the art are expressive lines. Expressive lines, as compared to the precise analytical line, have a looser nature with a gestural focus in them.
* Outline, on the other hand, are lines surroundings a shape. An outline has the same thickness all the way through. Furthermore, the shape's edges are well defined.
2 According to our module materials, what are the formal elements?
Formal Elements are the components that constitute works of art. They are the properties found in all works of art that are comparable to the components that make up our physical world.
3 What is linear perspective? Use example from your module materials.
A linear perspective is a technique applied to come up with an illusion of depth on a flat surface. Lines in a painting or drawing created with this system meet at a solitary vanishing point on the composition's horizon line.
4 Your materials on the Formal Element space describe three methods (other than linear perspective) for creating the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. What are they?
The three methods for creating the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface are
* Position on the format: involves placing objects at the lower part of the page for them to come along closer than objects positioned at the top of the page.
* Diminishing size: Relatively small objects seem further away from bigger objects as their size decreases.
* Aerial perspective: Objects in the foreground have more detail and colors than those in...
