Elements and Principals
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the elements of design? | Space, Line, Shape, Form, Texture, & Color |
| What are the principles of design? | Balance, Rhythm, Proportion/Scale, Emphasis, Unity |
| What is the principle repetition? | Design is copied or repeated |
| 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? | Adds a soft, graceful effect to designs |
| What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | Horizontal: left and right parts are equal Vertical: top and bottom parts are equal. Radical: elements radiate from the center |
| What do diagonal lines suggest? | 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? | Parts of the design are not identical but are equal in visual weight. Ex. a vase balances out a lamp |
| What is the difference between horizontal and vertical lines? | Horizontal: Leads the eye from left to right and room appears wider and shorter Vertical: Lead the eye up and Room appears taller |
| What is the golden mean? | 3 to 5 Ratio |
| What is the difference between shape and form? | Shape: 2 dimensions Form: 3 dimensions |
| What are the five types of balance? | Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Vertical, Horizontal and Radical |
| 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 | Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal and Curved |
| What is proportion? | Proportion means that each of the parts are the right size to belong to the whole. |
| Which of the five types of balance suggests excitement or interest? | Radical |
| What is symmetrical balance? Example? | When both parts are identical. Ex. plants, insects or humans |
| What is emphasis? What is another name for it? | Focal point in the design |
| What happens when you use a continuous line? | Your eye follows the continuous line |
| 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 when designs increase of decrease in size (one element of design changes. Radiation is when lines of designs move out from the center. |
