Columbia Southern University Two Dimensional Artwork by Oleh Harlamov Review For this assignment, you will select a piece of 2D art that interests you from your home. Any art that is flat or only has two dimensions: length and height but no depth is 2D art. There are many media in 2D art, including drawing, painting, prints, collage, photography/video, graphic design, and animation.

Choose a work that has meaning to you so you can give your description of what you felt when you experienced it. Take a photograph of the 2D work, and include it in the worksheet.

Remember to write in complete sentences and use proper grammar for full credit.

Unit Lesson
In this course, we will focus on two-dimensional (2D) art. You may wonder, what is considered 2D art?
Generally, it is anything that is flat or only has two dimensions, length and height, but no depth. There are
many media in 2D art. In this course, we will focus on drawing, painting, prints, collage, photography/film,
graphic design, and animation. If you find you like learning about 2D, you might like learning about 3D art. We
cover that in our Art Appreciation II course.
A big part of art appreciation is becoming aware of art around you and being able to draw meaning from and
analyze the work. The first two chapters of the textbook discuss living with art and what art is. To help you to
notice the art around you, let’s relate these readings to items you can find in your everyday home. This can
help you with your Unit I Assignment.
Looking around your home, you may have many works of art given to you or made for you, or you may also
have a few works that you purchased on your own. Let’s focus on three works that were given to someone.

each made
Title a birthday card for their
aunt. On page 4, the textbook
discusses the impulse for creating art.
What do you think the impulse was
for the nieces to make these cards?
They were probably told by their
mother that it was the aunt’s birthday
and asked to make cards for the aunt.

Figure 2 Birthday card by niece, age 7
Chapter 1 continues by addressing
what artists do. For these birthday
cards, we can say the artists
completed a few tasks. First, they
“created extraordinary versions of
ordinary objects” (Getlein, 2020, p. 9).
These are not standard, mass
produced birthday cards. They are
decorated by hand and with
personalized messages. Another
task the artists completed is to
“record and commemorate” (Getlein,
2020, p. 9). These cards are a
record of the aunt’s birthday and
honor that day. The final task the
artists completed is giving “tangible
form to feelings and ideas” (Getlein,
2020, p. 10). They are capturing the
emotion of joy and love by using
words, symbols, and illustrations in
the cards.
On page 12, the textbook
continues by discussing the artists’
process. Some artists draw many
sketches and source lots of
materials before creating their
works. Continuing with the
example of the birthday cards, the
nieces did not do prep work but
made the cards without creating
rough drafts first. They did source
different materials such as
construction paper, crayons,
markers, and colored pencils, but
there was likely not much planning
before beginning the execution of
the work. This contrasts with
Giovanni’s sketchbook page as
Figure 3 Birthday card by niece, age 9
seen on page 13 of the textbook.
As seen in the sketchbook, many artists catalog images to use in later works. To save time and for
convenience, some modern artists use a cellphone camera to capture color combinations they find interesting
to use in later works.
Further in the chapter, on page 16, the author discusses our perception and interpretation of artwork. With the
birthday cards, for example, if they were given to someone else, they may be perceived differently. Someone
might think that are trash because they are not addressed to them. They also might be very confused about
the meaning in some of the cards because they do not know the artists. For example, in Figure 1, the aunt
had to ask the niece what some of the imagery meant. The blue shape on the right is a cloud looking over

and reasoning. For

example, in Figure 2, the niece made cards within the card. A viewer who does not know her might not
understand why she did that, but the aunt knew that she is a trickster and likes to pull jokes, so that is why
she made cards within the card. On page 11 in the textbook, you can read about Van Gogh’s reasoning
behind some of his works and style. After you learn the history and background of the artist, you may better
understand the work, and it may be more interesting to you. Van Gogh, for example, suffered from emotional
problems (Getlein, 2020). This may be something that you or a family member has dealt with. When you look
at his work, you may be able to relate to him and what he was going through.
In Chapter 2, we learn about what can be considered art. Here are
some more examples of art that can be found around a home.
What’s on your shower curtain? With technology, art, from a drawing
of a llama to a landscape, can be replicated on all sorts of objects and
items for the home. We will cover more about drawing in Unit II. In
Unit II, we will look at dry media such as graphite, metalpoint,
charcoal, crayon, pastel, and chalk. Wet media such as pen with ink
and brush with ink will also be covered. We also will learn how to look
for visual elements including line, shape and mass, light, color, texture
and pattern, and space in drawings and other works of art.
Next, you can see how hand painting was used to decorate a coffee
mug. We will go more into painting in Unit III and cover media such as
oil, watercolor, and acrylic. We will also learn how to break down and
analyze paintings using the principles of design including unity and
variety, balance, emphasis and subordination, scale and proportion,
and rhythm.

Another example is a calendar that is produced using digital printing on paper. You may see prints on
wallpaper, a couch, or even your favorite t-shirt. We will cover more about prints in Unit IV. There are many
different processes used in creating prints, so we will go over relief, intaglio, lithography, screen printing,
monotype, and digital.
Collage can be used to juxtapose, for another example, a real dog next to a balloon animal of a dog to create
a new meaning on a greeting card that reads “Often imitated but never duplicated. That’s you.” We will be
covering collage in Unit V. We will take a special note of the Dadaist movement and how images can have
new meaning when collaged together.
Other greeting card examples you may find around your home show how photography can be used. With cell
phone cameras and multiple social media platforms available to exhibit images, photography is a very popular
medium today. We will cover more about photography with a special focus on photography used in news
media. We will also be looking at the moving image or film as well in Unit VI.
One item you may notice is the Amazon logo, an example of graphic art. Sometimes, you can forget how
much time, money, and thought is put into the design of an everyday object such as this box. Did you know
that the Amazon logo has gone through several iterations since the company’s inception in the 1990s? The
company’s first logo under the name Amazon was a big block letter A with a river flowing underneath. The
slogan at the time was “Earth’s Biggest Bookstore,” so it makes sense that the logo would reference the
massive size of the Amazon river (see an example of previous logos at the link below.)

see today was developed with a yellow line underneath. That was still not good
enough for Jeff Bezos,

Amazon’s founder. He brought the design agency, Turner Duckworth, onboard. You can see more information
about the creation of this logo at the link below.

Turner Duckworth came up with the concept of having a curved yellow arrow go from the A to the Z. It is
meant to represent that the company delivers smiles, has great customer service, and delivers everything
from A to Z. You can see the curved arrow on boxes and other merchandise today. Look around your room.
Can you spot something with graphic design on it? Maybe a label on a package? We will learn more about
graphic design in Unit VII.
Lastly, in Unit VIII, we will cover animation. If
you are surfing the Web and see a meme that
moves, it is most likely employing some
animation to catch your attention and to add
humor. To the left is an example of a Columbia
Southern University online ad. Click on the
image to view a GIF that was made to help
encourage students to refer their friends to
CSU. We will look at many forms of animation,
from stop motion to hand drawn to 3D
computer animation.

We hope through this course, you become more aware of the art around you and are introduced to new 2D
artists and media that you enjoy.
