Art history notes 8/26: fundamentals: time and motion 2; unity, Illusion of motion- it looks like its actually moving but it isn"t. Stroboscopic motion- animation and movies all rely on. Actual motion unless something is actually moving. (performances) Performance art- something that takes place at only one point in time. You can document it, but you only see it once. Unity- the imposition of order and harmony on a composition (the over-all design of the work) Composition-the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work. Balance- the creation of a visual harmony through contrast and difference. Compositional unity- elements should be integrated so that the picture has an overall unity, with nothing left isolated or out of account. Conceptual unity- the elements found in an art are related to each other in terms of what, how, and when it was used.
