原作绘画
《我看见金色的数字5》
查尔斯·德穆斯（Charles Demuth）作品
此画中，一辆红色消防车上的数字“5”以明亮的金色加以强调。
其后方街道线条呈对比性的深色——灰、黑、白三色线条从画面中心向外延伸。
次要绘画作品
观察这三幅德穆斯作品与原作之间的异同。
所有作品中，线条与明度是如何运用的？
他的风格——
德穆斯是20世纪20年代起源于美国的精确主义运动（Precisionist Movement）成员之一。
该流派强调清晰的轮廓线与简洁的几何形体。
在你的速写本中
你有哪些不同方式，可使你的名字与背景形成对比？
它应采用纤细的线条，还是大块的形状？
——尝试用“形体字”（如方块字或气泡字）书写你的名字。
你如何运用色彩、线条或图案，使其从背景中脱颖而出？
——在页面上实验各种对比效果。
你有哪些不同的构图方式来安排你的名字？
——通过缩略草图，实验名字在页面上的构图/布局。
——将你最终确定的“形体字”、背景及对比设计方案画在一张便签卡上。

对比性名字设计
评价标准
我们将以查尔斯·德穆斯的原作《我看见金色的数字5》为学习重点。
画中散布着大小不一的数字形体。你需将你的名字以散点式布局置于纸面。线条纵横穿插于名字与背景之间，朝不同方向延展，将画面分割成若干区域。
1. 字母的形体
你须以散点式布局呈现你的名字，字母须为形体字，并在页面上保持均衡。
可先以线条勾勒字母，再为其加框，转化为形体。
为强调你的名字，它必须呈现为硕大、粗重的形体，而非纤细的线条。
方法如下……
2. 分割画面空间
利用纸面上的线条与形体，将画面划分为多个区域。
添加元素时，注意保持画面整体的视觉均衡。
此处可见原作如何分割画面……
资料来源见此…
3. 设计中的强调与对比
你所要强调的，正是你的名字！！！
如何做到这一点？
强调，即让作品中某些区域比其他区域更醒目。实现方式包括：为对象勾勒更粗、更重的外轮廓线；为其填充更明亮或更浅的色彩；将其放大；或用指向该对象的线条引导视线。
你如何在作品中体现视觉差异/对比？
请做出选择……
就色彩而言，可运用：深色与浅色、彩色与灰度、互补色（色轮上相对的颜色）、浅色调（tint）与深色调（shade）。
就线条而言，可运用：粗线与细线、紧密与疏松、锐利与柔和。
大胆发挥创意！！！
请选择一种方式，让你的名字与纸面背景形成强调与对比。
*所有区域均须填满色彩或图案。
明色与暗色
色彩本身具有明度。若将彩色图像转为黑白，所剩即为明度。
亮色在暗色衬托下更易凸显。
请为你的名字选用较浅的色彩，为背景选用较深的色彩。
（参见上方明度示例）。此处背景使用了明度较深的马克笔色，
而名字则采用了明度较浅的色彩……
所有色彩均有明度（深或浅）
最明显的浅色是黄色，最深的则是紫色。
将色彩转为灰度，有助于你直观辨识其明度。
高对比度色彩
选择色轮上互为互补色（即彼此相对）的色彩，可令二者相互凸显。
你可用橙色书写名字，
蓝色作为背景。
因橙色明度更高、更明亮，故更显突出。
或——
你可选用冷色作背景，暖色作名字。
下方范例暂借用于灵感参考……
每幅范例下方均标注其艺术渊源。

运用暖色与冷色形成对比
高对比度图案
**
**
改变线条/图案的方向、粗细或明度，即可制造对比。
线条或图案排列越密集，视觉上越显深暗；
排列越疏松，则越显明亮。
你可为背景选用浓重、深暗的图案，
为字母选用轻盈、浅淡的图案。
学生范例
运用冷暖对比进行强调
运用深色调与浅色调进行强调
运用互补色（对立色）形成对比
运用鲜亮色彩与黑白图案进行强调
独创性强调方式
*在你的素描本速写本中自由尝试，探索各种实现

PRIMARY Painting
"I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold"
Painting by Charles Demuth
In this painting, the No.5 of a red fire engine is emphasized with bright colors of Gold.
The contrasting dark street lines behind it are pointing from the center in grey, black and white.
Secondary Paintings
Notice the similarities and differences between these three Demuth paintings and the Primary one.
How is Line and Value used in all of them?
HIS STYLE-
Dumuth was part of the Precisionist Movement that began in 1920 in the US.
It emphasizes clear lines and simple geometric shapes.
IN YOUR JOURNAL
What are different ways you can make your NAME contrast the background?
Should it be skinny lines or big shapes?
--Practice making your name in shape letters (box or buble).
How can you use color, line, or pattern to make it stand out from the background?
---Experiment with creating contrast on your pages.
What are different compositions you can use to arrange your name?
--Experiment in thumbnail drawings of the composition/arrangement of your name on your pages.
---Draw your final idea for your shape name, background, and contrasting design idea on a notecard.
Natalie’s Notes.
Criteria for
Contrasting NAME DESIGN
We will use the primary painting, I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth, as our focus.
There are number shapes scattered in various sizes in the painting. You will scatter your name on the paper. Lines are spread over name and in background, going in different directions over the paper, dividing it up into sections.
1. SHAPE OF LETTERS
You will use your name with scattered shape letters balanced on your page.
You can begin with line letters, but then box around them to create a shape.
In order to EMPHASIZE your name, it must be BIG and BOLD SHAPES, not skinny lines.
Here is how...
2. DIVIDE THE SPACE
Use lines and shapes around your paper to divide it into sections.
try to keep the paper visually BALANCED when you add more.
Here you can see how the Primary Painting is divided up...

3. EMPHASIS & CONTRAST in Design
It is Your NAME you want to Emphasize!!!
How do you do that?
Emphasizing is making areas of a work stand out more than others. You can do this by adding thicker/bolder lines around and object, a brighter or lighter color in the object, making an object bigger, or pointing lines towards the objects.
How can you show Visual Differences/Contrast in your work?
Make a choice...
with COLOR, you can use Dark & light, Color & Greyscale,
Color Complements/Opposites, Tints (lighter) & Shades (darker).
With LINES, you can use Thick & Thin,
Tight & loose, or Sharp & Soft,
BE CREATIVE !!!
Choose a way to create emphasis and contrastwith your name from the backgrounds of your paper.
*All areas should be filled up with color or design.
Dark and Light colors
Colors do have VALUE. If you take a picture of colors and take away colors,
VALUE is what is left.
Light stands out of the Dark.
Choose lighter colors for your name and darker colors for the backgrounds.
(see colors values above).Here is used darker values of marker color in the background and
lighter values of color on my name...
All COLORS have VALUE (dark or light)
The most obvious light color is yellow and the darkest is violet.
Transfering colors to greyscale helps you see the values.
High Contrasting Colors
Choose Complementary Colors (across the color wheel from each other) to make each other stand out.
You could use Oranges for your Name and
Blues for your background.
Because Orange is brighter and lighter in Value, it will stand out more.
or,
You could use Cool Colors for your background and Warm Colors for your Name.
Example below have been temporarily borrowed for inspiration...
origins of art are listed beneath each example.

contrasting with Warm and Cool Colors
High Contrasting Patterns
**
**
Changing direction of angle, thickness, or value of a line/pattern can create contrast.
Making lines or patters closer together makes them appear darker.
Making lines or pattern further apart makes them appear lighter.
You can use heavy darker patterns for you background and
lighter patterns for your letters.
