What is the principle repetition? | when the design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | smooth surfaces reflect more light rough surfaces, rough surfaces absorb more light |
What do curved lines suggest? | a softness, or graceful effect to the design |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | horizontal: left and right parts are equal, vertical:top and bottom parts are equal. Radial: elements radiate out from design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | action, movement, and excitement |
What is space? | the area provided for a particular purpose |
What are the four types of rhythm? | gradation, radiation, repetion, and continuous lines |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal: leads the eye from left to right. vertical: lead the eye |

What are the two things texture involves? | how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | horizontal, diagonal,vertical, and curved |
What is proportion? | how the design is visually divided |
Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | radial, symmetrical |

What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | when one object or item stands out; the focal point |
What happens when you use a continuous line? | The line forces you eye to follow it |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | formal balance |
