All language subtitles for 003 The Basic Structure of Art and Drawing_en[UdemyIran.Com]

Hey guys.

And welcome to the art basics video.

This is the very first video in the course and we're just going to talk about three basic things in

a, in a very simple way at first, and the next video is going to really expand your thinking of these

things.

So the first thing we want to talk about is shape, and what we mean when we're talking about shape. Alright.

Shape really refers to 2D

or iconographic shapes, right, iconographic, right.

So really something like this type of circle or a square,

You know, anything that's, kind of, 2D flat, kind of, on the page, something like that, that's a shape, you

know.

All these things can be shapes. These are shapes- the shape of things.

Right.

The basic, sort of, fundamental shape of something.

So even something that is 3D.

Let's say for example, let's just do kind of, kind of a more of a 3D head design here.

It's sort of just a basic head layout.

Even the design of this, has a basic shape to it that the viewer will see.

Alright.

So really just that, kind of, basic shape; if you shaded it in, you know, that it was flat, and no longer

3D it has that kind of shape to it.

So that's what shape is: 2D shapes.

Or iconographic shapes. Even perhaps 2D is too much they're very flat almost like 1D

because you really only see one side of a shape, like a shape is just, sort of, a one sided type of thing.

Right.

The next thing we want to look at is form.

Right.

And what we mean by forms. OK. So form is really three 3D shapes with multiple sides so we can see multiple

sides of the object.

So then we start using words like Sphere.

Right.

So we can imagine that as a ball, right, as a sphere or a cube.

OK so these are forms and so forth. And anything, we can try to turn anything into a form by kind of giving

it multiple sides.

So now I've added an ellipse to the end of this thing and now maybe it looks like some kind of horn.

Right.

So it's kind of got more form to it. So we can see that there are multiple sides.

And these are forms. And things that generally form part of form theory is stuff like perspective, which

helps us understand a virtual spatial area.

Right, so it gives us space to build things in. And things like lighting.

Right.

When we, kind of, add light and shadow to things, we, kind of, indicating form, you know for example, if we keep

this side light and we put this side in shadow the viewer can then perceive by these two planes, these

two different lit planes, that this this is one side and this is another side.

So that is form.

And then last but not least, we have this this category called: Detail. Right. And Detail, for the most part,

things like textures. Textures and material types which basically inform the textures. Material types

and things like color.

Right.

So these things form the textures, the material types, the color.

And for example if this were our form and we can see that this form has this shape to it, which is really

something like that.

OK.

And we could then say well let's make this a stone block and I'll add some textures to it and maybe

mess up its edges a little bit.

So it looks more stoney and rock like.

And obviously if I added a color to it, grey or what have you, that would be the detail section.

Alright so, in the next video we're going to discuss this in depth.

But basically this is the structure of art in many ways. We have shape at the bottom,

then form, then detail. Take note of how much space each of these categories occupies on this

theoretical pyramid.

And it will really help you understand what the most important parts of your art are.

Alright.

Let's deep dive this in the next video.

I'll see you there.
