Photography Mediums | Silver gealtin print (Black and white), Color photograph, Digital Photo, Pictoral Photo (major characteristics and subject matter generalizations) |
Linear perspective | vanishing point, horizon line, Orthogonal lines |
Vanishing Point | should be located near the center of the horizon line. The vanishing point is where all parallel lines (orthogonals) that run towards the horizon line appear to come together like train tracks in the distance. |
Horizon Line | runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer. The horizon line is where the sky appears to meet the ground. |
Orthogonal Lines | "visual rays" helping the viewer's eye to connect points around the edges of the canvas to the vanishing point. An artist uses them to align the edges of walls and paving stones. |
One Point Perspective | In one-point perspective, the forms are seen face on and are drawn to a single vanishing point. |
Two Point Perspective | Objects seen at an angle would be drawn with two-point perspective using two vanishing points. |

Elements of Music: | Tone, Consonance/Dissonance, Rhythm, Tempo, Melody, Counterpoint, Harmony, Dynamics, Contrast, Timbre, Texture |
Melody | Melody is the part of music that we can sing. It is a series of notes arranged in a particular rhythmic pattern and divided up into smaller units called phrases. Melody is the horizontal structure of music. |
Tempo | Tempo comes from the Italian word meaning time, and refers to the pace of the piece of music. Tempo markings are in Italian and range from very slow (adagio), to very fast (presto). |
Dynamics | Dynamics refer to the volume or loudness of a tone. Dynamics range from very soft (pianissimo), to very loud (fortissimo). Crescendo means gradually becoming louder. Decrescendo means gradually becoming softer. |
Rhythm | is the heartbeat of music. As music passes in time, it is divided into perceptible sections, and each section subdivided further. |
Harmony | is the combination of two or more notes to produce new sounds called chords. We can say that harmony is the vertical structure of music. It adds depth and texture to the piece. |
Motif | A short musical idea, usually a subdivision of a theme or a phrase characterized by its rhythm, melody or harmony. |
Timbre | is musical color. Each instrument has its own color and produces its own mood or emotion. Varying combinations of instruments produce different textures and distinctive colors. |
Rondo | The rondo is a lively movement with a recurring theme. Its form is A-B-A-C-A-D-A. The listener becomes more familiar and comfortable with the theme each time it returns. |
Sonata | composed for solo instrumentalist, or solo with piano accompaniment and were generally written in three movements. |
Coda | is the very last part of the music. This small section brings a large work of several movements such as a sonata, or a symphony, to a satisfying conclusion. |

Symphony | A symphony is a large work for orchestra usually consisting of four movements. |
