4 James Turrell, The Light Inside, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas

5 Gray Scale

6 Shade - adding black to a color Tint - adding white to a color

7 Light creates shadow which helps to define forms. This relationship between light and shadow also helps to render three dimensional space.

8 What is the difference between twodimensional and threedimensional?

9 Light and Color are used to create the area of focus Light and Shadow make the forms and space look more three-dimensional Leonardo da Vinci. Madonna of the Rocks. c x 47 in.

10 Paul Colin. Figure of a Woman. c x 18 1/2 in. Chiaroscuro means light and dark. It refers to dramatic lighting and shading to create an area of focus. It also heightens the sense of threedimensionality.

11 Chiaroscuro is also used in contemporary film and photography to create a sense of drama.

12 Lincoln, 2012; from

13 A sphere represented by means of modeling.

14 Chiaroscuro and Tenebroso and Complementary Color Artemisia Gentileschi. Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes. c /2 x 55 3/4 in.

15 Michelangelo. Head of a Satyr. c /8 x 7 7/8 in. Crosshatching is used to technique used to create shadow and thus define the form. Attempt to create a sense of threedimensionality on a twodimensional surface.

16 Light and Dark can also be symbolic or metaphorical. Here, the duality of Light and Dark mimics the duality of Male and Female. Shirin Neshat, Fervor, 2000, gelatin silver print

17 Color

18 Cai Guo-Qiang. Transient Rainbow x 600 feet, duration 15 seconds.

19 Colors separated by a prism.

20 In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton discovered that color was the result of light. When sunlight passes prism it creates the color spectrum. A good example of this found in nature is a rainbow.

21 Conventional color wheel.

22 Primary Colors Red Blue Yellow Every other color is made from mixing a combination of these colors. Mixing them all together makes a muddy, grayish, black.

23 Complementary Colors Complementary colors are the colors opposite one another on the color wheel. Red and Green Blue and Orange Yellow and Violet Mixing complementary colors creates gray or brown, which we call Tones.

24 What is simultaneous contrast? When you put a complements next to one another they become brighter and bolder. Green looks really, really green when it is next to red.

25

26 Chiaroscuro and Complementary Color Artemisia Gentileschi. Judith and Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes. c /2 x 55 3/4 in.

27 Putting Warm Colors next to Cool Colors also creates contrast. Romare Bearden. She-ba collage and paint 48 x 35 7/8 in.
