What is the principal repetition? | design is copied or repeated |
How does texture effect color? | smooth- brighter and lighter rough- darker and less intense |
What do curved lines suggest? | soft and graceful |
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, repetition, and continuous line |
What is asymmetrical balance? example? | parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight ex: one big candle on one side and two small ones on the other |
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | horizontal- leads eye left to right, suggests informality and restfulness, room appears wider and shorter vertical- leads eye up, adds height, formality, and strength, room appears taller |
