Graphics

Graphics combines several arts, in which the image consists of lines, spots, lines predominantly one color (usually black). sometimes with limited use of other colors. Graphic representation of the conditional nature of the picturesque, as it does not seek to transfer the complexity and richness of colors of the surrounding world, ie, not seeking picturesque completeness of the transfer of live, real flesh things. At the same time, graphic art have other features and qualities that make up this famous convention graphic language.
 There are different materials and techniques and types of graphics. Easel and applied graphics at first, as in easel painting, the meaning and purpose of works completely exhausted their artistic content, and applied graphics and content, and the form associated with a specific purpose of the work.
 So, book graphics designed to decorate and arrange the book, and illustrations to reveal the contents of visual images in literary works. The poster is intended to reflect the political issues of our time, to promote the fundamental ideas and knowledge, or serve the purposes of information. Journal-news-image, which includes a caricature and portrait, must comply by means of the fine arts general objectives of the periodical press. Finally, industrial graphics-draw all sorts of goods, brochures, certificates, and calendars.
 Movies, theater. Each of these arts has an arsenal of artistic means and requirements to them.
 So, book graphics, serving as a decoration of the book, while designed in graphics, cutscenes, titles reveal whether in visual images, whether in the abstract forms of decorative ornament and a font of individual literary works or their common poetic, spiritual and ideological meaning. Implementation of the original book illustrations produced for all existing graphic materials, but almost always the originals then reproduced in the book by photomechanical. In a production schedule demands of utilitarian, practical use of the work performed by the artists are combined with artistic and aesthetic goals.
 In other words, labels, calendars, wrapping, etc. must be comfortable. Desirable, attractive, aesthetic ideal response of consumers, national, professional, age traditions and the requirements to have a stylistic relationship with the environment. Graphics do not have the rich features such as shape modeling in a portrait or a landscape, which are inherent in art. Unlike painting, where different bases can be used (canvas, wood, cardboard, paper, metal, wall, etc), the sole basis for the graphics is a sheet of paper. Already at this specific depth charts opened as an independent art form.
 Paper since its inception has never been easy for human material. On a sheet of paper-writing is closely related art of calligraphy.
 What is to decorate the painted portrait in calligraphy location two contrasting materials-and-white paper and black ink, depending on how you found the ratio of these two materials. It is equally important that the lines themselves to form a portrait of the consonants together and graceful in themselves forms and silhouettes, and to fill their beauty, they gave a portrait of the remaining blank paper. This ability is the single movement of the wrist at the same time to organize and black and white space, the principle of one more black harmony are the essence of the decorative graphic art that is different from painting, where color has consistently filled the entire plane. The shape of objects in the chart are transmitted mainly more generally than in the oil painting, most often through the silhouette and the necessary details, hints, very tentatively and only to the extent that they fall into the decorative design of the work.
 On the contrary, such ephemeral phenomena such as shadows, light, smoke, etc., there may acquire materiality is not inherent in their art. This is due to the duality of a graphic image, so that the images are actually there to the junction of the mark.
 Meaning which the artist reveals the face.
 Graphic materials and tools are quite diverse, and their options provide a variety of effects. In addition to the spot, by means of charts are line and bar. Each in its own way, they are also arbitrary. On the basis of drawing the line as discussed in Appendix I want to say that in nature there are no clear lines, that visual sensations line represents the trajectory of the eye, and the image-border conditional form.
 In the linear image released several types of lines that differ in the degree of conditionality. The closest answer to the real visual experience those that depict the outer limits of the form or indicate a sharp break, the contrasts of the parts. But sometimes artists represent the line of smooth transitions in reality forms within the image, wanting to preserve the style figure, the unity of expressive means.
 This technique is used by such artists as A. Durer. The work stroke is widely used in prints, and the easel chart, and preparatory drawings. It is characterized by high mobility in the changes in density, diversity of texture and softness of the modeling circuit. Depending on the material and problems it can produce very different impressions.
 Bar-enriched toning to replace a sharp contrast between black and white, it gives a softer and contrast, and the nature of the relationship boundaries of many intermediate shades. The same purpose is served and graphic materials with different force of tone. hues, textures, first of all the usual graphic pencil. He gives a silver-gray tone, they can be carried out and the sharp and soft lines, the Italian pencil leaves a dark, velvety trail; coal characterized by soft, vibrant texture, similar but more dense texture characteristic of the colored material, Sangin (usually brick colors), also pencil, charcoal, dry brush, etc. Source > http://portretpofoto.ru
