Visual perception – the foundation for setting up principles of plastic composition

Abstract

Among the human senses, sight is of particularly importance for painting. If someone is capable of recognizing colors, lines, and using colors that are close to one another, in the same tone, in the same scale, or using combinationsof straight, curly, round lines ... to form an overall and harmonic image, he can beconsidered the gifted in painting. However, to become a good artist, it is necessary for him to practice and train more to get a subtle distinction between pieces of objective information, and win a strong emotion from his heart. The teacher must apply proper methods to help learners train the senses, promote the potential of the senses, expand the amplitude and gradually increase their aesthetic taste.
