Art Chapters 7, 8, 9 – Flashcards

pigment, binder, and vehicle. The pigment provides color, the binder is a sticky substance that holds the pigment particles together and attaches the pigment to the surface, the vehicle makes the paint a liquid and can be added to the paint for thinning.

Compared to tempera, oil paint can provide both increased capacity and when thinned, greater transparency. It has a slow drying time allowing artists to blend strokes of color and make changes during the painting process.

In recent years, many artists have used airbrushes to apply acrylics, oil, and other types of paint. Many artists today also use acrylic paint.

a type of painting in which pigment is suspended in a binder of hot wax.

a technique in which pigments suspended in water are applied to a damp lime-plaster surface.

a mixture of glue and chalk, thinned with water and applied as a ground before painting with oil or egg tempera.

a thin transparent or translucent layer brushed over another layer of paint, allowing the first layer to show through but enriching its color slightly.

the surface onto which paint is applied, consisting of sizing plus primer.

thick paint applied to a surface in a heavy manner, having the appearance and consistency of buttery paste or of cake frosting.

any of several substances made from glue, wax, or clay, used as a filter for porous materials such as paper, canvas, or other cloth, or wall surfaces.

a water-based paint that uses egg yolk as a binder.

They may wish to make multiple works that are less expensive than paintings or sculpture, they may wish to influence social causes, they may be fascinated by the process of printmaking.

Relief, Intaglio, Lithography, Stencil and Screenprinting, Contemporary Approaches.

Many printmakers today combine printmaking techniques with other kinds of media.

any printmaking technique in which lines and areas to be inked are recessed below the surface of the printing plate.

the block of metal, wood, stone, or other material that an artist works to create a print.

lithographic painting by indirect image transfer from photomechanical plates.

in color printmaking or machine printing, the process of aligning the impressions of blocks or plates on the same sheet of paper.

a technique in which the parts of the printing surface that carry ink are left raised, while remaining areas are cut away.

a technique in which stencils are applied to fabric stretched across a frame and paint or ink is forced through the unblocked portions of the screen onto paper or another surface beneath.

Photography became possible when scientists discovered that certain chemicals were sensitive to light. The first image was made in 1826.

Alfred Stieglitz

Photography made visual statements believable in ways no other medium could, it can bring about empathetic awareness that can lead to reform.

Using photo-editing computer programs, these files can be manipulated in almost infinite ways, and reproduced endlessly.

the forerunner of the modern camera, a dark room with a small hole in one side, through which an inverted image of the view outside is projected onto the opposite wall, screen, or mirror, and then traced.

a photograph taken by an early photographic process developed in the 1830s in which a treated metal plate was exposed to light and the chemical reactions on the plate created the first satisfactory photographic images.
