Art History Assignment
You must rent a copy of the movie and go through it with a notepad in your hand taking the following notes:
- Company who created the film:
- The year it was created:
- Director and/or animator(s) -(there could be several) of the film
- Analyze three free-frame pictures (you can get these from) using the vocabulary of the elements and principles of design i.e.: In this picture in Monster's Inc there is a strong use of value in that the central figure is brightly lit and the background is very dark. This brings out the central figure in contrast to the background creating a strong focal point and a balanced composition. Note that the words in red are vocabulary of the elements and principles of design.
The elements of design (things that make up a piece of art)are: line, shape, form, colour, texture, and value(light and dark)
The principles of design (things that make a work of art look successful) are: focal point or emphasis, movement, repetition, variety, balance and unity.
