What are the Principles of design? | Balance, rhythm, unity/harmony, scale,emphasis |
What is principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces Making them brighter and lighter Rough surfaces absorb more light Making them look darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Vertical- top & bottom are equal Horizontal- left&right parts are equal Radial- elements radiate design |
What do diagonal lines suggest? | Suggest action, movement, and excitement |
What is space? | The area provided for a particular purpose |
What are 4 types of rhythm? | 1.Contiuous Line 2.Gradiation 3.Radiation 4.Repetition |
What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Symmetrical Balance-when both parts are identical Example- plants, insects or humans |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | vetical leave eye up horizontal lead eye from left to rigght |

What does unity or harmony mean? | all elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
What are the two things texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
What are the four types of line? | 4 types of line Vertical Horizontal Diagonal Curved |

What happens when you use a continuous line? | Continuous Line-Design creates a continuous line for eye to follow |
What is another name for symmetrical balance? | identical |
What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | not identical |
What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation-Designs increase or decrease in size One element of design changes Radiation-Lines or designs move out fromcenter point |
