| Question | Answer |
| What are the elements f design? | Space, line, form, shape, color, texture |
| 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 is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 ratio |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | shape- A flat or silhoutte image
2 dimensions
form-The outlines edges of a three dimensional object |
| What are the five types of balance? | vertical, horizontal, radial, symetrical, asymetrical |
| 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 is proportion? | How the design is visually divided |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | vertical, horizontal, radial, symetrical, asymetrical |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Symmetrical Balance-when both parts are identical
Example- plants, insects or humans |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | one object or item stands out
-focal point |
| 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 |
