| What is the principle repetition? | repeating something |
| How does texture affect color? | Smooth surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces; Making them brighter and lighter. Rough surfaces absorb more light making them look darker and less intense |
| What do curved lines suggest? | soft and gracefulness |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | horizontal is when left and right parts are equal, vertical is when top and bottom parts are equal, and radial is when elements radiate outward from the center |
| 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? | when parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Ex: two different decorations but the same size on the sides fireplace mantel |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | vertical leads the eye up adding more height. Horizontal leads the eye from left to right. |
| What is the golden mean? | 3:5 (proportional) ratio |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | form is 3-dimensional, shape is 2-dimensional |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial, Vertical, and Horizontal |
| What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony. |
| What are the two things texture involves? | Involves how the surface feels to the touch and how it appears to feel |
| What are the four types of line? | Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal, and Curved |
| What is proportion? | How the design is visually divided ( each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole.) |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | asymmetrical balance |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | when parts of the design are equal. Ex plants, insects, humans, etc. |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | It is what causes one object or idea to stand out. Another word is focal point. |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | Design creates a continuous line for eye to follow |
| 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 the designs increase or decrease in size. Radiation, lines/designs move out from the center point |
