| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is one point perspective | spatial rendering of a figure whose sides recede toward a single vanishing point |
| what is vanishing point | the point on the horizon at which visually converging parallel lines appear to meet |
| were renaissance painters the first artists to develop and use linear perspective | yes |
| what is linear perspective | a system of representing three dimensional spatial relationships derived from the optical illusion that parallel lines, if extended to the horizon, appear to converge |
| what is scale | the relationship between the size of an image and the size of its surroundings |
| what is point of view | the place where the viewer appears to be in relationship to images depicted in a composition |
| what is overlapping | obscuring of part of an image by another one that seems to lie between it and the viewer |
| what is atmospheric perspective | the use of softer edges, lessened value contrast, and less distinctive detail in areas intended to be interpreted as being farther away from the observer |
| what is analogous color | hues that lie next to each other on a color wheel |
| what is secondary color | hues obtained by mixing two primary colors |
| what is monochromatic | use of a single hue, in varying values |
| what is a hue | the name of a color |
| what is 3d work | having length, width, and depth in space |
| what is 2d work | having length and width |
| what is a low relief | a three dimensional work in which contours barely rise off a flat surface |
| what is frontal art | three dimensional work designed to be seen from one side only |
| what is applied arts | disciplines involving the use of the principles and elements of design to create functional pieces of commercial uses |
| what is form | in two dimensional work, a figure that appears to be three dimensional. in three dimensional art, the area confined by the contours of a piece. the overall organization of a work |
| what is modeling | in 2d work, use of shading on contours to give the illusion of 3d form in three dimensional work, using hands or tools to manipulate a pliable material into a desired form |
| what is casting | the substitution of one material for another by means of a mold |
| what is ready made | an object divorced from its usual function and presented as a word of art |
| what is subtraction | in pigment mixing, descriptive of the progressing darkening of a mixture by the addition to other colors, which removes their energy from the light reflected from a surface. |
| what is subtraction in 3d work | descriptive of creation of a piece by carving away the material |
| what is addition | in light mixtures, descriptive of the progressive lightening of a mixture by the addition of other colors. in three dimensional work, descriptive of creation of a piece by assembling similar or dissimilar materials |
| what is found objects | something extracted from its original context and used in creating a work of art |
| what is armature | a relatively rigid internal support for modeling of more malleable materials |
| what is kinetic art | three dimensional art that moves |
| what is shape | in two dimensional work, a figure that appears to be flat. in three dimensional work, a term sometimes used to refer to the entire area with in the contours of a piece |
| what is value | the degree of lightness or darkness of a surface |
| what is contrast | the degree of difference between lightness and dark areas |
