• 1.- What relationships can objects have with each other? Explain and give an example.

• Proximity, similarity and continuity.

• Proximity: Our perception visually unites elements that are phisically close to one another. Elemts that are very close together are seen as one, as a completely new shape.

• Similarity:When observing images, we group similar images together as if they were one. We tend to look for similarities in shapes of images.

• Continuity: Elements arranged in the same direction normally create a simple form. Our eyes scan the image, visually joining the elements.

• Proximity:

• Similarity:

• Continuity:

• 2.- What items feature in our visual public enviroment? Give an example of some type of visual contamination in this enviroment.

• Lamposts, parks, litter bins, benches, gardens, fauntais...

• Channel or medium is the physical means we used to transmit imformation or messages: press, television, cinema...

• Code The message will not reach the recipient if he / she cannot undersand it. The transmiter and the recipient must used visual or oral languages that have the same rules or codes.

• Message When the transmiter and recipient communicate, the message is the information they share.

• Reference is the reason we create the image, for example, to sell a prduct, to influence public opinion...

• Context The time and place a message is transmitted influence its meaning.

• Recipient Comunnitcation happens only if there is someone to receive and understand the message.

• 4.- Give an example of each of the following: graphic and visual media, audio-visual media and sound media. Write down one characteristic typical of each.

• Audiovisual media are made of sound

this is one example:

· garaphic and visual media They haven´t got any sound and don´t

move.

this is one example:

· Sound media they have sound.

this is one example:

 

• 5.- Draw a character (or get on from Internet) with different-shaped speech bubbles or balloons. In each one, add the words. "Where are you going?". Briefly explain the different effects that each type of bubble makes.

• 1.- What is a realistic drawing? How do we use lines in this type of drawing?

In realistic drawing, the shapes are very similar to what we see, in other words, they have a high degrees of likeness. In realistic drawings, the line is used to portray the appearance of shapes, exactly as we see them. This shapes have volume, occupy space and are defined by their form, texture and colour.

• 2.- A line is an expressive element. What messages do different types of line transmit? Draw diagrams to go with your explanation.

• Straight lines• Curved lines

• Irregular lines• Irregular straight lines• Irregular curved lines

• 3.- What are visual textures? Name three of them.

There are three types:

• Ornamental texture These textures are used to decorate surfaces or to highlight the design. They embellish the surfaces of object and planets. Textures of this type can be found on wallpaper, wrapping paper, fabrics for sheets and curtains, folders, everyday objects…

• Accidental texture These textures are produced randomly by accident. Artists manipulate them during the creative process.

• Mechanical texture Designers and architects apply these textures to their projects. They are made through technological processes and are produces by patterns printed on transparent self-adhesive sheets.

• 4.- How can you use texture to organise and balance a composition?

Textures can be organised so that similar shapes are ordered from greater to lesser importance, thus creating an area of greater importance and visibility.

Using texture we can make one shape seem to weigh more than other.
