Below is a glossary article post in the category T which discusses the explanation of the meaning, definition and meaning of the acronym, term, jargon, or termonology of Tone based on summaries from various types of sources (references) that are relevant, related, and trustworthy.
Understanding Tone
So, what is actually meant by Tone?
Light or darkness of something – this can be a shade, or how dark or bright color appears.
Explanation of Tone
In the painting, the tone refers to relative light or darkness of color (see also Chiaroscuro). One color can have a different number of different tones that are almost unlimited. Nada can also mean the color itself. For example, when Vincent van Gogh wrote ‘I exaggerate hair justice, I even got an orange tone, chrome and yellow-yellow pale’, he refers to the colors at certain tone values. In his famous painting theory, the French painter Georges Seurat explains how color (teinte) and tone (tons) can be used to create certain emotional effects: ‘Inundation is obtained through the use of dominant luminosity in tone; Color that applies in color. ‘
This term seems to have been used widely with the emergence of direct paintings from nature in the 19th century, when artists become interested in identifying and reproducing various tones that can be found in certain subjects. This in turn causes color interest for color and color theory.
However, Nada is also the term music and its use in relation to painting reflects the theory that paintings can be like music, which has become increasingly important from around 1870. Since around that time the painter J.A.M. Whistler, for example, makes paintings using a range of tones that are closely related to only one or two colors, and give them music titles. This type of painting is known as a tone painting. In 1908, in his A Painter’s note, Henri Matisse wrote: ‘When I have found the relationship of all tones, the results must be a harmony that lives from all tones, harmony that is no different from the composition of music’.
Moreover, as we have seen above, this term is one of a collection of dictionaries, acronyms, terms, jargon, or terminology in the field of arts that begins with an alphabet or prefix T, as well as terms associated with T.
