THE COLOUR

COLOUR: It is a basic element of visual language. It is a light impression tht arrives to the eyes which send the information to the brain.

PRIMARY: RED     GREEN        BLUE V.

SECUNDARY:  CIAN        MAGENT         YELLOW

                  

PIGMENT: It's the natural objets to do a colour.

THE THREE PROPERTIES OF COLOUR.

HUE: Also called tone , it is the name of the colour defined by it's wavelenght.

SATURATION: Degree of purity of a colour is very saturated it means that it is very pure and doesn't have many colours in it's mix.

EARTHBALL

This game is traditional in America. The participants are divided into 2 teams. The territory of both teams is marked on the ground. You have to take the ball to the opposing team's territory without the ball touching the ground at any time.

The game ends more often by the physical wear of the participants than by the superiority of one of the two groups.

It is almost a representation with tribal reminiscences, which over time has been acquiring new values, such as: symbolic worship or appreciation for the earth in an ecological sense. Of course, it is always practiced outdoors.



                                  

TEXTURE

TEXTURE: Is the visual and tactile quality of the surfaces due to the material.
TACTILE TEXTURES: Are those that can be percived through the sense of touch.
VISUAL TEXTURES: those which can only be percived through the sense of sight.
NATURAL TEXTURES: Those that can be found in nature.
ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES: Are those created by the human being manually or mechanically.
RUBBING TEXTURES: It consist on frictioning or rubbing a crayon or coloured pencil on a thin paper which is over a surface with a tactile texture so the texture gets copied on the paper.
SCRATCH BOARDING: It is usually done with waxed colours and it consists on giving two coats of colour to the media begin the second one darker. So when scratching over the first layer the second one shows up.

THE PLANE

PLANE: Also called shape in visual arts. It ´s a two-dimensional surfaces, height and width but not depth, it has a position and direction on the space.

THE PLANE 3-D CAPACITY: One of the main goals of the plane consist on creating volume when several flat shapes get together in different directions.

FLAT ORGANIC SHAPES: They follow natural principles and can take countless appearances.

FLAT GEOMETRIC SHAPES: They follow mathematical principles. In visual arts there are 3 main basic geometric shapes: circle, square and triangle.
