Art Knowledge: Lesson 5 _ Breaking Up Picture
Spaces When you study photos or paintings by artists you find the picture content is usually quite simple. But, we get so distracted by the details (color, textures and tones) within the primary areas, and we are put off and think the images more than we can do easily. Your knowledge of descriptive lines will bring out the character and the outlines of the areas (forms) that you are observing. Interesting outlines will make your picture come alive visually and impress people of your observation skills. *Proportions have to do with the size
of one object or space as compared to another. Here are some pictures which contain very simple area break up. They can be interpreted with a dozen or less spacial zones.
