| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | Line, Shape/Form, Texture, Color, and Space |
| What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Emphasis, Harmony |
| What is the principle repetition? | Rhythm |
| How does texture affect color? | Course Texture- absorbs light, darker color |
| What do curved lines suggest? | It feels natural, comfortable, casual |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Horizontal- when the left and right are balanced Vertical- when the top and bottom are balanced Radial- when there is balance all around a central point (ex. sun rays, tire) |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | Movement |
| What is space? | How the room is laid out and feels (ex. roomy, natural light, high/low ceilings) |
| What are the four types of rhythm? | Regular, Graduated, Random, Gradiation |
| What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | When the object is not exactly the same, but it appears to be equal |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal- goes left and right Vertical- goes up and down |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape- 2D (two dimensional/flat) Form- 3D (three dimensional) |
| What are the five types of balance? | Radial- sun rays, tire Vertical- top & bottom Horizontal- left & right Symmetrical- Formal Asymmetrical- Informal |
| What does unity or harmony mean? | When all elements and principals work in a room, and it doesn't look crowded |
| What are the two things texture involves? | How it feels or how it looks like it might feel |
| What are the four types of line? | Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Curved |
| What is proportion? | The way in which parts relate to the design as a whole |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Asymmetrical |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | Formal, when both sides are exactly the same (ex. butterfly, flower) |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | Focal Point, the most important visual element of a design and it dominates over the other elements |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | The eye follows the line all around the room |
| What is another name for symmetrical balance? | Formal Balance |
| What is another name for asymmetrical balance? | Informal Balance |
| What is the difference between gradation and radiation? | Gradation- when a deign is repeated but one element changes gradually (shape, color, size) Radiation- when the eye starts in the center of the design and is drawn out |
