Art Jargon and Important Terms (1 Viewer)

[winicat]

hey all

my class got given this sheet (same title as thread) and there are just a few terms i can't find "artsy" definitions for:
curator (who are they and what is their role?) i should know this, we did a whole heap on it and met one grr....
signs
symbols
the elements of art/design
processes

any help is greatly appreciated. other terms on the sheet include the frames, agencies of the art world and the various practices.

most of thsoe terms are pretty straight forward....elements of art and design though...i think that refers to line, colour, composition, etc etc

do you need to know elements and principles of design and that kinda stuff? That is basically :
Elements of design are:
Line
Shape and Form
Space
Light/ Colour and Value
Texture

Principles of Design are:
Balance
Rhythm and Movement
Proportion
Emphasis
Pattern
Unity and Variety

Signs and Symbols are aspects of your structural frame, so you must address or note down specific signs and symbols which represent various things to varied audiences.

I hope this kinda helps....we were given a huge green book with all of these terms in in and heapsa notes on each topic....so I am incredibly thankful

we got this big talk on always defining the key art terms before we answered the question (like, wht the structural frame is, etc.) we were meant to do this sheet ages ago but meh

i'm sure those words won't really be needed (and of course i just jinxed us all!! )

curator is the person of a exhibition to helps set it up and give a brief overview of the whole exhibition, whats it about etc.. the person in charge
usually in the catelogues of exhibitions there is a page of writing from the curator explaining the meaning of the gallery exhibition.. ya ya ya etc

signs = signs? pretty straight forward, whether they be visual or interpretational through symbols
relation to symbols = structural, cultural etc any kind of symbol which can be acknowledged or place into each frame
eg. micheangelos creation artwork (the two man touching hands) the hands are a SYMBOL of creation, this is a sign of the significance of life through the out reaching hands.. etc etc

processes comes into practice..... processes of art making, practice - how the person/artwork made the art work
the elements of art/design is pretty straight forward
reasons why, from structural, subjective, conceptual - relating to the artist the artworld the artwork and the world..

hope it gives u a brief overview
