picture plane

Examples of picture plane in the following topics:

• Shape and Volume

  • A "plane" refers to any surface area within space.
  • In two-dimensional art, the "picture plane" is the flat surface that the image is created upon, such as paper, canvas or wood.
  • Three-dimensional figures may be depicted on the flat picture plane through the use of the artistic elements to imply depth and volume, as seen in the painting "Flowers in a Jug" by Hans Memling .
  • Three-dimensional figures may be depicted on the flat picture plane through the use of the artistic elements to imply depth and volume.

• Color Field Painting

  • Color Field painting can be recognized by its large fields of solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.
  • Color Field is characterized primarily by its use of large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.
  • Moving away from the gesture and angst of Action painting towards flat, clear picture planes and a seemingly calmer language, Color Field artists used formats of stripes, targets and simple geometric patterns to concentrate on color as the dominant theme their paintings.
  • The flat, solid picture plane typical of Color Field paintings is evident in this piece by Barnet Newman, where the color red takes centre stage.

• Space

  • Artists have devoted a great deal of time to experimenting with perspectives and degrees of flatness of the pictorial plane.
  • "Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon" is an instance of cubist art, which has a tendency to flatten the picture plane, and its use of abstract shapes and irregular forms suggesting multiple points of view within a single image

• Time and Motion

  • For example, on a flat picture plane, an image that is smaller and lighter colored than its surroundings will appear to be in the background.

• Art History Methodology

  • This approach examines how the artist uses a two-dimensional picture plane or the three dimensions of sculptural or architectural space to create his or her art.

• Balance

  • When both sides of an artwork on either side of the horizontal or vertical axis of the picture plane are the same in terms of the sense that is created by the arrangement of the elements of art, the work is said to exhibit this type of balance.

• Artistic Conventions in Painting

  • In "Oath of the Haratii," the perspective is perpendicular to the picture plane.

• The Venetian Painters of the High Renaissance

  • For instance, The Wedding at Cana, painted in 1562–1563, was a collaboration with Palladio, and Veronese arranged the architecture to run mostly parallel to the picture plane, accentuating the processional character of the composition .
  • The artist's decorative genius was to recognize that dramatic perspective effects would have been tiresome in a living room or chapel, and that the narrative of the picture could best be absorbed as a colorful diversion.
  • The artist's decorative genius in The Wedding at Cana was to recognize that dramatic perspective effects would have been tiresome in a living room or chapel, and that the narrative of the picture could best be absorbed as a colorful diversion.

• Linear Perspective

  • Linear perspective is a technique artists developed during the Renaissance to accurately depict three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional picture plane, such as the canvas of a painting.
  • Any number of vanishing points are possible in a drawing, one for each set of parallel lines that are at an angle relative to the plane of the drawing.

• Motion

  • For example, on a flat picture plane, an image that is smaller and lighter colored than the rest will appear to be in the background.
  • The reason for the wagon wheel effect is that motion-picture cameras conventionally film at 24 frames per second.
