Selected Topic : EDUCATION under Art " Medium in Art"
"A medium in art may refer to one of two definitions. A medium may refer to the type of material used to create artwork. In this sense, no limits exist on what defines an art medium. Traditional media, as well as any found objects used to create a piece of artwork, are considered an art medium. Another definition of medium in art refers to substances added to different paints to achieve a desired texture or effect. In either case, many options exist which you may wish to explore in creating your original artworks."
Research : Understanding Screen Design
"Screen Design" refers to making each Web page look readable, thereby inviting readers to scan it. For effective screen design, you should work with three elements and make sure Web pages have two basic qualities.Work with Text, Space, and Graphics
You can make a Web page look readable by manipulating three elements: text, space, and graphics.Element 1: Text
Make sure you choose a font (a particular typeface) that can be read on screen. You can select fonts in Composer by choosing "Fonts" from the "Format" option at the top of the screen; however, you may not have control over what your text looks like on someone else's computer.It's probably easiest to let readers choose their own preferences for the look of your page. If you do want to control the font type, consider using a font designed specifically for use on the Web and learning more about embedding fonts. Microsoft offers a number of fonts for the Web.
As much as possible you at least want to make sure your text is the right size.
Element 2: Space
Use space to accomplish at least three goals:Element 3: Graphics
- Creating margins: A screen full of text looks too intimidating, so be sure to include adequate margins. (To add margins to paragraphs, click on a paragraph, then choose "Increase Indent" from the "Format" option on the menu at the top of the Composer screen.)
- Reinforcing organization: Consider using space to reinforce the organization of a text. Notice, for example, that this page uses one margin for major headings and another for sub-headings and the body paragraphs.
You should also use space to "chunk" text. Related units of information should appear next to one another, with sufficient white space to reveal those units. (Paragraphs are a basic way of "chunking" a unit of text. Notice, for instance, how each bulleted item is separated by a space in this page.)
- Increasing navigation: Consider using a multi-column layout, devoting one column to text and perhaps another to links. See Lynch & Horton's Web Style Guide (1997) for an example of two- and three-column formats. (You can create multiple-column layouts by creating tables. Choose "Insert" then "Table" and then "Table" again from the menu at the top of the Composer screen.)
You need not be a graphic designer to pay attention to graphical elements. Even if you're creating Web pages with no pictures, realize that you can still work with
- Color: You can use color to reinforce organization and highlight information; e.g., you can use a different colored text for headings. (Note: Reserve the colors of linked text for links only. Otherwise, people will assume that the colored text is a link.)
- Line: You can use horizontal lines to separate blocks of information. However, do not overuse lines because it is easy to to clutter a page.

EMOTION RESEARCH
Emotion is the complex psychophysiological experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical (internal) and environmental (external) influences. In humans, emotion fundamentally involves "physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and conscious experience". Emotion is associated withmood, temperament, personality and disposition, and motivation. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word émouvoir. This is based on the Latinemovere, where e- (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'.[2] The related term "motivation" is also derived from the word movere.
No definitive taxonomy of emotions exists, though numerous taxonomies have been proposed. Some categorizations include:
- 'Cognitive' versus 'non-cognitive' emotions
- Instinctual emotions (from the amygdala), versus cognitive emotions (from the prefrontal cortex).
- Categorization based on duration: Some emotions occur over a period of seconds (for example, surprise), whereas others can last years (for example, love).
A related distinction is between the emotion and the results of the emotion, principally behaviors and emotional expressions. People often behave in certain ways as a direct result of their emotional state, such as crying, fighting or fleeing. If one can have the emotion without the corresponding behavior, then we may consider the behavior not to be essential to the emotion. Neuroscientific research suggests there is a "magic quarter second" during which it's possible to catch a thought before it becomes an emotional reaction. In that instant, one can catch a feeling before allowing it to take hold.
Abstract ART
Abstract art uses a visual language of form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.[1] Western art had been, from theRenaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. The arts of cultures other than the European had become accessible and showed alternative ways of describing visual experience to the artist. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.[2]
Abstract art, nonfigurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are loosely related terms. They are similar, although perhaps not of identical meaning.
Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete. Abstraction exists along a continuum. Even art that aims for verisimilitude of the highest degree can be said to be abstract, at least theoretically, since perfect representation is likely to be exceedingly elusive. Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction, for instance, one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities. Figurative art and total abstraction are almost mutually exclusive. But figurative and representational (or realistic) art often contains partial abstraction.
Both Geometric abstraction and Lyrical Abstraction are often totally abstract. Among the very numerous art movements that embody partial abstraction would be for instance fauvism in which color is conspicuously and deliberately altered vis-a-vis reality, and cubism, which blatantly alters the forms of the real life entities depicted.
