TYPES OF DESIGN IN VARIOUS ARTS-FORMS AND STYLE IN THE VISUAL ARTS.

THOMAS MUNRO(1897-1974)-------american phylosopher of art and professor of art history.He tries to explain the AESTHETICS in ART. Also he says that we classify the forms of art depending on how they pleasure our senses.

THE CATEGORIES OF TYPES DESIGN IN VARIOUS ART according to him.

1)VISUAL

2)AUDITORY

3)AUDIOVISUAL

4)SUGGESTIVE THEMATIC DEVELOPMENT DESIGN

VISUAL:a-----Visual static surface design

b------Visual static solid surface

c------Visual mobile temporally developed design

a--->thematic development is presented mostly in 2D of space,with little or no determinate change or move. It is usually presented in flat surface.Its components are lines color and texture.

Types:*STRIP DESIGN-->long and narrow,extended lengthwise,developed by addition of or by division of the units,we have to varieties that appear: 1 presentative development(flat or slightly 3D) 2)suggestive development which is actually representatively flat may be suggestively 3D,giving the illusion of solidity and depth.

*BOUNDED--AREA DESIGN-->it is limited withing given 2D area and is usually related to the size and shape of that area,this design may be presentatively flat(like paintings) or 3D(sculptural reliefs),frame work are thematic or decorative,the main units are repeated usually to make a pattern.

*ALLOVER DESIGN-->is unbounded in the 2D with tendency to indefinite repetition or prolongation,its feature is to arrange the units on 2 coordinate,intersecting systems of lines and not along a single main axis as in strip design,this design can flat or 3D,both presentatively and suggestively.

b--->this type of design is 3D presented,it has considerable extend in thickness or depth

Types:*EXTERIOR DESIGN--->the object may present many different designs as seen from different points of view.

*INTERIOR DESIGN--> sorrounding or partially sorrounding the observer as when he is inside the building,room,garden etc.The Gothic Cathedral is highly developed in this way.

*COMBINATION OF TWO-->its a connection between the first two like the rose window of cathedrals.

*INTERMEDIATE-->sculptural relief which varies to the amount of 3D development,this happens when relief is high and detached from the background like the static solid design,

`c---->Two types:*MOBILE SURFACE DESIGN-->which is visually presented in a thematic development in time,change and motion in 2D of space (like shadow plays)

*MOBILE SOLID DESIGN--> developed in 3Dof space and time with motion in solid figures(marionettes)

AUDITORY :*MUSICAL DESIGN-->based on thematic development of rhythm ,timber through instruments and human voice.

*WORD -SOUND DESIGN-->when literature is spoken and resembles to music

*VERBAL -MUSICAL DESIGN-->combination of the two themes like a song or opera.

AUTO-VISUAL :*AUTOVISUAL SURFACE DESIGN --->mobile visual patters combined with music ant it is found in motion pictures.

*AUTOVISUAL SOLID DESIGN-->combination of mobile solid patterns with autitory ones like ballet with music.

CONCLUSION :DESIGN IS TO DESIGN A DESIGN TO PRODUCE A DESIGN .

WE CAN FIND TYPES AND FORMS OF DESIGN EVERYWHERE AL LONG AS THEY ARE PLEASING TO OUR SENSES .
