Highway – Design Theory
Highway is one of twenty digital images from Design Theory, an exhibition initially presented as the Artist-In-Residence at Thomas University in Thomasville, Georgia. The complete visual art show continues at the TU Library in November.
Elements of design involve Line, Shape, Value, Texture, Color, and Form. Of the many representations proffered in these twenty images, Design Theory exists as a practical application of visual theoretical concepts in two-dimensional digital artworks.
By definition, Line is a mark made across a surface. Shape is an area defined by a boundary. Value is the relationship of light and dark. Texture is the real or imagined surface character of a material. Color is a physical, visual response to wavelengths of light that coincidentally, symbolically, and overtly conveys an implicit message. Ultimately, Form is the organization and arrangement of visual elements.
To further the theoretical concept of "form," each photograph in Design Theory was selected based on the specific application of harmony and variety, dominance and sub-ordinance, rhythm and movement, proportion and scale, balance, space, and economy. These elements may have a theoretical function, yet in deconstruction exists the basis of artistic appreciation.
