    A triptych is a painting or carving

    that has three side-by-side parts, or


    panels. Typically, a triptych has
    three hinged panels, the two outer
    panels designed so that they can be
    folded in towards the central one.
    "Triptych" has come to us from the Greek
    "triptychos," formed by combining "tri-" ("three")
    and "ptyche" ("fold" or "layer"). Although
    "triptych" originally described a specific type of
    Roman writing tablet that had three hinged
    panels, it makes sense that the word was
    adopted first for a three-paneled painting, and
    then to include anything composed of three
    parts.
    The related modern word "trifold" is popularly
    used to describe a common brochure format with
    two and three folds; or three hinged boards for
    museum, educational, commercial, and other
    displays.

    This was a common form for an altarpiece during
    the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The side
    panels were typically hinged to the central one
    so that they could be closed over it, and in this
    case reverse sides were often painted.

    is to draw from observation to create a 3 panel
    piece. The panels can vary in size. The media is
    your choice. You must draw from direct
    observation or from photos that you take.

    Balance - is a feeling of equal visual weight. Balance can be symmetrical or evenly balanced
    or asymmetrical and unevenly balanced. Objects represented or elements included can be used in
    creating a balance in a composition.

    Harmony/Unity - brings together a composition with similar units. If your composition
    was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in
    just one geometric shape.

    Contrast - offers some change in the art elements creating a visual discord in a composition.
    Contrast shows the difference between elements and can be used as a background to bring
    objects out and forward in a design.

    Emphasis/Center of interest - is an area that first attracts attention in a
    composition. This area is more important when compared to the other objects or elements in a
    composition. This can be by contrast of values, more colors, and placement in the format.

    Movement/Rhythm - is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the
    suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and
    position. Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recur regularly. Like a dance it will have
    a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

    Pattern- is a repetition of the elements of art, such as stripes or plaid.


    For next class, on Thursday 9/9 you are to
    have two possible compositional sketches
    completed (Worth 25 points)
    You can use the templates on the center
    table or draw in your sketchbook.
    Your sketches do not have to be detailed but
    should focus on the subject and the design
    principle.
    Bring also any visual references that you
    used for your sketches.
    You will be refining your best idea in class
