WGU-Visual Arts 2
WGU-Visual elements, 2-D Art, 3-D Art
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Line | Continuous marking made by a moving point on a surface; basic building block of visual design |
| Form | Comprises the shape of an object within the composition |
| Color | Property of reflecting light of a particular wavelength |
| Hue | Specific color with a measurable wavelength |
| Value | Relationship of blacks to whites and grays (lighter or whiter a color, higher its value- darker a color, lower its value) |
| Intensity | Comprises the degree of purity of a hue |
| Space | A hollow volume available for occupation by shapes |
| Texture | The surface "feel" of a materiel- may be illusory |
| Rhythm (Repetition) | Ordered recurrence of elements in a composition |
| Harmony (Repetition) | Components that appear to join naturally and comfortably |
| Variation (Repetition) | Relationship of repeated items to each other |
| Symmetry | Balancing of like forms, mass, & colors on opposite sides of vertical axis |
| Asymmetrical | Results from careful placement of unlike items |
| Unity | All elements of composition work together toward meaning |
| Focal Area | Areas of greatest visual appeal |
| Primary Colors | Red, blue, yellow |
| Secondary Colors | Purple, orange, green |
| Tertiary Colors | Red-purple, orange-red, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue purple |
| Complementary Colors | Colors that lie opposite each other on the color wheel |
| Drawing | Creation by hand of artistic images, forms, or shapes |
| Dry Media | Chalk, charcoal, pastel, graphite |
| Liquid Media | Pen & ink, wash & brush |
| Painting | Creating work of art using paint |
| Painting Media | Oil, acrylic, fresco, watercolor, tempera, gouache, |
| Printmaking | Process of making artworks by transferring an inked image to another surface |
| Printmaking Media | Intaglio, engraving, etching, drypoint, aquatint, planographic process, lithography, silkscreen, relief printing, woodcut, linoleum cut print, monotype |
| Axis line | Imaginary line that helps determine the basic visual direction of a painting |
| Perspective | Key device used by painters to create illusion of depth & distance |
| Linear Perspective | Illusion of depth based on the fact that parallel lines or edges appear to converge & objects appear smaller as the distance between them & a viewer increases |
| Atmospheric Perspective | Illusion of distance by reducing color saturation, value content, & detail in order to imply the natural haziness between the viewer & distance objects |
| One-Point Perspective | All basic lines of a work converge toward a single vanishing point; used when one face of object is parallel to front of picture plane |
| Two-Point Perspective | Two vanishing points; planes of the object are not parallel in relation to picture plane |
| Chiaroscuro | Creates the illusion of depth through gradations of light & shade |
| Dynamic | Stimulation of sensations by using certain conventional devices |
| Movement | Refers to the way a painting controls the movement & pace of our vision |
| Trompe l'oeil | (Fool the eye) is 2-D are that is so naturalistic that it appears to have depth & distance |
| Subtraction | Sculptor carves or cuts away unwanted material to create the work |
| Addition | Sculptor adds or combines material by hand (built sculpture) |
| Substitution | Sculptor molds or casts an artwork |
| Manipulation | Sculptor shapes the material by hand (molding clay or other materials) |
| Full Round Sculpture | Sculpture employs three-dimensions & meant to be viewed from any & all angles; no background |
| Relief Sculpture | Sculpture employing three-dimensions attached to a background & meant to be seen from one side |
| Sunken Relief | Image is carved into the stone or material, creating in effect a negative |
| Low Relief | Projects slightly from its background plane; depth dimension is very limited |
| Linear Sculpture | Sculpture employing 2-D materials; use of lines |
| Earth-Rooted | Where a structure's site, gravity, materials, & shape to convey a strong sense of earth connection |
| Sky-Rooted | Skyscrapers & building that reach up out of the earth to bring our awareness to the sky, and away from the earth; buildings & structures that seemingly defy gravity |
| Earth-Resting | Buildings that balance or harmonize the relationship between sky & earth |
| Earth-Dominating | Certain palaces & buildings that seem to dominate or stand over the earth, dominating it with a sense of power, gravity, weight, and presence |
| Scale | Size or apparent size of an object seen in relation to other objects, people, or its enviroment |
| Proportion | Relative relationship of shapes or forms to one another |
| Arch | Curved masonry structure capable of spanning a space while supporting significant weight |
| Dome | Common structural element of architecture resembling the hollow upper half of a sphere |
| Cantilever | Projecting beam or bracket stabilized by the weight of the wall from which it extends (balcony) |
| Spatial Relationship | Distance between objects on stage; one body in relation to another, to group, or to the architecture |
| Space (Landscape Architecture) | Basic medium of landscape design; can take form from arrangement of living walls |
| Intent (Landscape Architecture) | Character refers to the intent of the designer to create a harmonious & unified landscape |
| Sequence (Landscape Architecture) | Involves movement through space & movement from space to space |
| The Floor (Landscape Architecture) | Contains the walks or roads that define movement, & linear qualities form backbone of spatial function |
| Tensile Strength | Resistance of a material; measured as the maximum tension the material can withstand without tearing |
| Sensory Strength | Space around a sculpture is sensory rather than empty; it is felt |
| Ephemeral | Lasting for markedly brief time |
| Elements Of 3-D Art | Line, form, color, space, & texture |
| Focal Point | Center, or most important area to keep spectator interested |
| High-Relief Sculpture | Forms stand out from the background |
| Three-Point Perspective | Starts out like a two-point; two widely spaced vanishing points on a horizontal line with a vertical line added |
