| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| _________ a sense of equilibrium produced by equal attraction between opposite elements of a desgin | balance |
| 2 or elements of equal strength or attraction are said to be __________. | balanced |
| 3 types of balance: | Symmetrical,Asymmetrical, Radial |
| a formal balance, often static in feeling; usually with a design repeated identically on each side of the center axis, or visually equal in each side | Symmetrical |
| an informal balance that appears to the eye to have a satisfactory equilibrium of unlike shapes, colors, and rhythms | Asymmetrical |
| the effect produced by having elements of a design radiate from a common center, the point from which the elements radiate is always a center of interest | Radial Balance |
| Of all the elements of design, _______ can be acheived more readily through the use of color, value, line, or shape | balance |
| _______ is basic to variation and important for visual interest | contrast |
| can be used to clarify or modify form, to create mass and space, to suggest activity, to provide balance, to express and to focus attention | contrast |
| also called variety | contrast |
| consists of employing unlike elements in a design in such a way that their unlikeness causes them to reinforce each other | contrast |
| _______ is present in a degree, in any design, but opposites like black and white, thick and thin, etc. accentuate by contrast their opposite qualities | contrast |
| ________ adds interest to a design | contrast |
| 4 types of contrast | Line, Shape/Form, Texture, Color |
| 4 Types of Contrasting Line | long/short, Straight/Curved, Vertical/Horizon, Thick/Thin |
| 2 Types of Contrasting Shape | large/small, geometric/organic |
| 5 types of Contrasting Texture: | subtle/bold, plain/detailed, rough/soft, hard/soft, glossy/dull |
| 4 types of Contrasting Color: | warm/cool, colorful/neutral, light/dark, bright/dull |
| _____ are the tools of art | elements |
| _____ guide the artists in how to use tools | Principles |
| 5 Principles of Art: | Dominance, Balance, Unity, Contrast, Repetition/Movement |
| __________: also called focal point | dominance or emphasis |
| ________- the area that first catches the viewer's eye | Dominant Area |
| also known as the center of interest, emphasis, or focal point | Dominant Area |
| Ways to establish Emphasis: | 1.placement or grouping of elements 2. off center is considered better than dead center 3. contrast of size, shape, texture, and form 4. use brilliant color 5. making certain areas lighter or darker 6. Repetition of lines, shapes,form, textures, and color |
| creates a sense of movement and leads the eye throught the design in a rhythmical manner | repetition and movement |
| 2 types of repetition: | even and smooth, and uneven and staccato |
| _______ repetition that creates a pattern | even and smooth |
| _______ repetitions that create interest or the unexpected | uneven and staccato |
| the harmony of all the visual elements in a composition | unity |
| the most subtle quality in a design, but also the most desired | unity |
| without ________ a design is failure | unity |
| implies a logical adjustment of the various elements of a design to each other and to the whole design and results in a sense of harmony and beauty | unity |
| ________ is important in acheiving unity | proportion |
| ________ of any of the elements not only creates movement , it also provides a familiarity for the eye, thereby, unifying the design | repetition |
