Space, Composition, Chiaroscuro, and Movement in Art
Representing Space Resources
- Overlay planes: Forms are partially hidden.
- Variation in size: Smaller objects appear more distant.
- Position stand: Objects higher up appear further away, lower down appear nearer.
- Dynamics of color: More distant objects have less defined outlines, brighter colors, and less contrast. This is called aerial perspective.
- Light: Contrasts of light and shadow are equal, and objects in the distance appear grayer. Chiaroscuro is used to profile objects.
- Conical perspective.

Understanding the Dihedral System
The Dihedral System uses orthogonal projection onto two planes perpendicular to each other. To represent it on a plane (vertical plane), it is rotated perpendicularly (horizontal) 90 degrees around the intersection line (ground line). In addition to these two planes, a third plane perpendicular to the preceding ones (profile plane) is generally considered. Its representation is made by projecting onto the vertical plane around the line of intersection.

Read MoreUnderstanding Object Views: Orthogonal Projections Explained
Understanding Object Views
The main view is called an object, the orthogonal projections of the same on 6 planes, arranged in a cube. We can also define views as the orthogonal projections of an object, according to the different directions from where you look.
Views of an Object
If we place an observer according to the six directions indicated by the arrows, we get six possible views of an object:
- View A: Front view or elevation
- View B: Top view or plan
- View C: Right or right lateral view
- View D: Left
Understanding Primary and Secondary Colors, RGB, and Image Manipulation with MATLAB
Understanding Primary and Secondary Colors
What is the nearest primary or secondary color of the following color combinations? State whether the color is a primary or secondary color.
RGB(95, 98, 60) – No dominant primary colors here, therefore – Secondary
RGB(125, 244, 250) – Secondary
RGB(10, 100, 90) – Secondary
RGB(80, 98, 60) – Secondary
RGB(240, 10, 15) – Primary
Explain what primary and secondary colors are and provide answers accordingly.
Primary Colors:
Red
Green
Blue
Secondary Colors:
- Red + Blue
Basic Geometric Elements and Concepts
Geometry is the science that studies the relationships and properties of geometric elements (the main ones being: point, line, and plane) in the plane and space.
Branches of Geometry
- Plane Geometry: The part of geometry that studies the relationships and properties of geometric planes.
- Descriptive Geometry: The part of geometry that studies the systems of representation.
Representation Systems
A set of elements that are used to represent space figures in the plane and then return them to their original
