| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Form,/Shape, Color, Texture |
| What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Emphasis, Unity |
| What is the principle repetition? | A design is copied or repeated |
| How does texture affect color? | If the texture is shiny/smooth , the shade will appear lighter as opposed to a duller/rougher texture |
| What do curved lines suggest? | They add a soft and graceful effect |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | In a horizontal balance, the right and left sides are equal In a vertical balance, the top and bottom is equal Lines or designs move out from a center point |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | Movement and excitement |
| What is space? | An area provided for a particular purpose (can be 2D or 3D) |
| What are the four types of rhythm? | Gradation, Radial, Radiation, Continuous Line |
| What is asymmetrical balance? Example? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Vertical lines have a strengthening effect, while horizontal lines have a calming effect |
| What is the golden mean? | 3:5 and it is the proportion most people use when building |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape is 2D and form is 3D |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, asymmetrical, vertical, horizontal, radial |
| What does unity or harmony mean? | All elements and principles of design work together to create harmony |
| What are the two things texture involves? | How the surface feels and how it appears to feel |
| What are the four types of line? | Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved |
| What is proportion? | 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 |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts are identical Ex: plants, insects or humans |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | One object or item stands out, another name is the focal point |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | It 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 is designs increase or decrease in size and one element of design changes Radiation is lines or designs move out from center point |
