We can easily distinguish and classify types of design is in term of the sense e.g as visual, auditory or audiovisual. Attention must be given to the frames of reference, to whether the development is mostly in two or three dimensions of space or in time. VISUAL 1- 1- Visual, static, surface design This type of design can be represented on a flat, curving or polyhedral surface. Its components are: line, color and texture. According to this components there are distinguished some types of design such as arabesque, which involves intricate linear development with or without representational meaning. In this category there is a subdivision: a) a) Strip design b) b) Bounded-area design c) c) Allover design a) Strip design This design is long and narrow such as ribbons, borders or architectural moulding. It is extended in one dimension, lengthwise. The basic component is called unit, which is repeated or prolonged in eith
What is art? Art is difficult to define, it's elusive. It's some kind of a metaphysical phenomenon. According to Sir Herbert Eduard Read art is measurable, because it has rhythmic and expressive elements. Art is related to our senses and deeply involved in the process of perception and thought. Even though it is an abstract phenomen ,there's something common to all works of art and that's "form", which means to take shape. A good form of art has a touchstone or a reference point. One of them is nature, the whole process of life. What we should keep in mind in order to create a good form of art is that order without diversity can cause monotony, but diversity without order can cause chaos. Which leads to conclusion that art is an attempt to create pleasing forms.On the other hand beauty is relative, so art isn't supposed to be beautiful it's supposed to make you feel something. Architecture While talking about forms we leap to architecture. Thoma
