Course Learning Outcomes
| Order | Course Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|
| LO01 | Increasing manual dexterity and informing aesthetic theories |
| LO02 | Instead of throwing away your wooden items, you can create new objects that reflect your style by using wood painting techniques. This way, you'll contribute to recycling and have new-looking items without spending a fortune. However, if you want to add some life to your decorative items with your own hands, it's essential to learn the tricks. This article will help you refresh your old furniture in the most practical way. |
| LO03 | How to Choose Wood Stain? Before starting to paint wood, you should consider the type of wood. Depending on whether the wood is hard or soft, you may need to use different varnishing or staining methods. Another factor to consider when painting wood is whether the object has been painted before. If the wood is painted, a different process is recommended; if not, a different painting technique is recommended. You can paint your wooden objects with a variety of paints, including oil paint, acrylic paint, colored varnish, and spray paint. All you need to do is understand your wood's material and how to apply the different paint types. |
| LO04 | What are Wood Painting Techniques? There are many different techniques you can choose for wood painting. While the application and difficulty of each vary, the most commonly used techniques are as follows. Wood Painting Transfer-Decoupage Technique: This is the process of transferring different patterns and decoupage papers to the surface after the first coat of paint has been applied. In the transfer technique, the patterns or images on the transfer paper are transferred to the wood surface, while in the decoupage technique, the pattern is adhered to the wood surface with special decoupage glue. Wood Painting Stencil Technique: This involves creating patterns on wood surfaces using ready-made Cadence stencil templates. This is a very popular technique, allowing you to easily transfer a wide variety of colors and patterns to wooden objects. Wood Painting Crackle Technique: Using the crackle technique, you can create stunning effects on your wooden furniture, such as antique, mosaic, and crocodile. Five different sub-types of crackle techniques are used. Wood Painting Aged Technique: This is one of the most commonly used wood painting techniques. There are four types of aging techniques. You can achieve a vintage look with small brush strokes on a wood surface after painting it a solid color. You can enhance the effect by repeating it several times and applying more intense strokes in certain areas. Wood Painting Paste Relief Technique: Besides wood painting, relief paste is a technique in its own right, creating a three-dimensional effect by embossing the surface elements. Wood Painting One-Stroke Technique: This technique requires fine craftsmanship, and is performed with a single brushstroke without lifting the brush. Figures such as roses, tulips, daisies, and orchids are often applied to the surface. Wood Painting Texture Technique: You can add texture to surfaces and create unique furniture styles using knot combs, which you can easily find at hobby shops, or items like sponges and plastic bags you might already have at home. |
| LO05 | Relief, also known as embossing, refers to the elevation or depression of a surface. For centuries, relief was a technique used in architecture, but over time, it also became a discipline used in painting and sculpture. The source of expressive power in relief is the perspective in painting and the volumetric effect in sculpture. Creating depth is the primary goal. It is the illusion of three dimensions in a work. There are three different types: high relief, low relief, and sunken relief. In high relief, the form is significantly elevated above the background. Low relief is created by sunken relief. Sunken relief, on the other hand, is a relief created by carving out the form, not the background. Artists have used relief to enrich mass and volumetric expressions on the surface. Its most important characteristic is its ability to occupy the depth basin between the illusory visual space of a painting and the actual space of a sculpture. Thus, the act of seeing allows the perception of pictorial and sculptural features on the same plane. |
| LO06 | Glass art is a type of artistic work made entirely or partially from glass. It is used in many areas, from monumental works and installations to wall hangings and windows, as well as glass jewelry and tableware. Glass as a decorative and functional medium was extensively developed in Egypt and Assyria. Glass blowing, thought to have been invented in the 1st century BC, was heavily involved in Roman glass, which featured forms such as the lattice cup for the luxury market. Islamic glass art was one of the most developed in the early Middle Ages. Later, builders of Europe's great Norman and Gothic cathedrals took glass art to new heights, using stained glass windows as a key architectural and decorative element. Glass from Murano in the Venetian Lagoon (also known as Venetian glass) is the result of hundreds of years of refinement and development. Murano is still considered the birthplace of modern glass art. |
| LO07 | Collage, a type of assemblage (three-dimensional collage), is defined as a pictorial technique first invented by the Cubists and developed by the Dadaists in 20th-century art. Its origins are French, meaning to paste. Collage, which can also mean cut and paste, refers to the process of pasting any printed material onto a surface. The first artistic collage makers in the development of collage and assemblage practices, and their continuation to the present day, were Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. |
| LO08 | Types of Collage The tile technique involves combining photos that have been cropped to different or equal sizes to form a series. The stacking technique involves stacking related photos or a single photo in different orientations and sizes after being cropped. The faded technique involves softening and blurring edges. This technique is achieved by interweaving photos with faded transitions. This refers to fading the edges of the resulting image, not the entire image. The transparent technique involves combining photos or parts of photos with varying transparency to create a composition. The "transparency" palette is generally used for this technique. |
| LO09 | Mandala is a Sanskrit word. Meaning circle, it also signifies dreams and the search for self. Used in many architectural works in Eastern cultures, the mandala, with its central center and surrounding patterns, represents the universe as a whole, while each element of the pattern carries different meanings. This term, which came to the West primarily for therapeutic and personal development purposes, has its roots in Buddhist philosophy dating back centuries. While the history of the mandala dates back to antiquity, it could be said that the modern world has actually made it popular. In today's society, where simplification, detachment, and listening to our inner voice are considered far more desirable, drawing mandalas is like an oasis in the desert. Moreover, you don't need to be a member of beliefs such as Hinduism or Buddhism to benefit from this art—or therapy. A few colored pencils and a mandala book will be enough to open the door to peace. |
