Hello Class,
Below is a ceramic plate. Use 3 Elements and 2 Principles to analyze the composition of this ceramic. I have added a Word Bank to help you. Be very specific as to what it is ans where it is. This is due Friday, March 3.

For elements the ceramic plate consists of line, color, and shape. Line is one of the main elements because of not only the outline of the people but the scenic background which consist of straight, horizontal, vertical, etc. The piece shows different shades, brightness, neutral, and warm colors for the people well cold colors for the background. In the plate there are geometric and organic shapes.
For principles there’s contrast and emphasis. The piece is full of contrast whether it’s strong/sharp or soft/subtle. Then for emphasis my eyes go straight to the man wearing the white then I look below him to see the two women/bird followed by my eyes going to the sun/background.
One of the elements used in this plate is line. To the right of the woman there are diagonal lines filled with different colors. There are also vertical lines above the cat and more diagonal lines in the grass. Another element that stands out to me is color. This piece seems to use all kinds of colors: primary, secondary, tertiary, neutral, warm, cool. It also uses shading around the woman’s head and shading on the mountains. The third element that I notice most in this piece is space. This plate has designs on it that overlap; everything is overlapping to something else. A principal that is used on this plate is pattern. There is pattern in the colored lines, the man’s tie, and the water drops under the trees. Another principal is contrast. This piece has strong and sharp contrast to it. All of the pictures on the plate are distinct and cut-off.
Lines and colors are some elements, there's lines highlighting everything in the picture and things overlapping eachother. The colors are used in a very different variety, cool, strong, neutral and colorful colors. Contrasts are the one principle I think of, some things are very colorful while other things are matt and white. An interesting piece.
Elements; Line, color & Shape. You can see the lines around the tree's, the mountains, and the rainbow like colors to the right of the lady. Color is used very much in this piece,i find my eyes making their way around the plate with the different shades of colors. Shape is used in this piece, you can see a circle in the sun, maybey a square in the glasses. Principles; Movement,Emphasis, and balance. My eye moves from the rainbow, to the sun, and to the bird by the lady. Emphasis,The rainbow catches my eye first because it has brighter colors, and darker colors together, making it kind of pop out. Balance, The balance of this piece is radial.
For me, one of the largest elements would be color. The artist used color and color contrast to help enhance the principle of emphasis. The artist uses a lot of warm colors on her focus points, then surrounds them with cold, or contrasting colors to make that particular image really pop, and draw attention. The artist also uses a variety of both geometric and organic shapes in the piece. The mountains, trees, and other parts of the back drop mainly consist of fairly simple geometric shapes, where as her people and other focus points are very organic- also reinforcing the principle of emphasis. The other element that stands out to me would be line. The artist uses many fine lines to detail the images themselves, but then in color, many times, she outlines her characters with thick lines, or even tosses some in the fill space, and to catch the eye, and draw it in towards her focus. These lines, and the colors used in them, are what cause movement. My eye shoots instantly to the number of colored lines to the right of the plate, which drags me in towards the woman in red, to her bird, up to the man and the mountains behind him, than back down towards the trees and girl with the guitar, in an even, ever moving circle.
Lines- The lines used in the picture above are curved. I noticed almost all of the lines have a curve there was only a few lines that were straight. Like the line in the guy’s shirt and the telephone poles they have straight lines. Color- There is a wide variety of colors in this plate there are a few cold colors being the blues and whites and the very light greens. There are also a few warm colors being the dark purple, orange, and the reds. Texture- The texture of the plate looks very smooth, but when looking at the drawing the texture in the mountains look a little rough and the texture in the bird’s feather makes it look sort of soft. Movement- The movement in the picture for me goes from the lady in red to the guy in the white shirt and then to the person in green. After that it goes to the purple bird and then back to the woman again. It has a constant sense of movement and it makes sure you see just about everything in the image. Emphasis- I think that the emphasis was put on mainly the people and the little purple bird. The reason for this being that they are the largest seen on here and the way the movement is that also makes me think that the emphasis is supposed to be on the people and not the background details. The details in the background is supposed to make them stick out even more with their colors.
Color: the colors in this ceramic have many warm and cold colors that seem to be evenly matched. Line: I would say it has a combination of thick and thin lines that go in all directions. Texture: this plate appears to have a smooth finish .
pronciples Emphasis: I believe there is a lot of emphasis on the women in the front with the purple out line my eyes go right to her. Contrast: the colors make every little detail stand out . but its also soft at the same time. Movement : when I look at the ceramic my eyes go to the women aoulined in purple and move to the left and up to the mountains
