Art 1.1-1.4
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| elements | the basic vocabulary of art - line, form, shape, volume, mass, color, texture, space, time, motion, and value |
| principles | the way the elements of art are constructed in a work of art - contrast, balance, unity, variety, rhythm, emphasis, pattern, scale, portion, and focal point |
| line | a mark, or implied mark, between two endpoints |
| shape | a two dimensional area the boundaries of which are defined by lines or suggested or suggested by changes in color or value |
| 2D | having height and width |
| 3D | having height, width, and depth |
| contrast | a drastic difference between such elements as color or value (lightness/darkness) |
| outline | the outermost line or implied line of an object or figure, by which it is defined or bounded |
| plane | a flat surface, often implied in the composition |
| perspective | the creation of the illusion of depth in a two-dimensional image by using mathematical principles |
| texture | the surface quality of a work, for example fine/coarse, detailed/lacking in detail |
| space | the distance between identifiable points or planes |
| conceptual art | a work in which the communication of an idea or group of ideas are most important to the work |
| style | a characteristic way in which an artist or group of artists uses visual language to give a work an identifiable form of visual expression |
| actual line | a continuous, uninterrupted line |
| implied line | a line not actually drawn but suggested by elements in the work |
| rhythm | the regular or ordered repetition of elements in the work |
| background | the part of a work depicted furthest from the viewer’s space, often behind the main subject matter |
| color | the optical effect caused when reflected white light of the spectrum is divided into separate wavelengths |
| volume | the space filled or enclosed by a three-dimensional figure or object |
| pattern | an arrangement of predictably repeated elements |
| highlight | an area of lightest value in an artwork |
| positive space | a space defined by its surrounding empty space |
| negative space | an empty space given shape by its surround, for example the right-pointing arrow between the E and x in FedEx |
| abstract | the degree to which an image is altered from an easily recognizable subject |
| silhouette | a portrait or figure represented in outline and solidly colored in |
| wood cut | a print created from an incised piece of wood |
| figure ground reversal | the reversal of the relationship between one shape (the figure) and its background (the ground), so that the figure becomes background and the ground becomes the figure |
| form | an object that can be defined in three dimensions (height, width, depth) |
| geometric form | predictable and mathematical |
| organic form | having forms and shaped derived from living organism |
| mass | a volume that has, or gives the illusion of having, weight, density, and bulk |
| subversive texture | artist invited viewers to change their previous tactile experiences |
| directional line | artist can use lines to direct a viewer's attention to a particular work of art |
| contrast | artist uses two noticeably different elements |
| positive shape | shape defined by its surrounding empty space |
| chiaroscuro | creates illusion, italian for "light-dark", |
| hatching | the use of non-overlapping parallel line to convey darkness or lightness |
| cross hatching | the use of overlapping parallel lines to convey darkness or lightness |
| atmospheric perspective | use of shades of color and clarity to create the illusion of depth. Closer objects have warmer tones and clear outlines, while objects set further away are cooler and become hazy |
| isometric perspective | a system using diagonal parallel lines to communicate depth |
| linear perspective | a system using converging imaginary slight lines to create the illusion of depth |
| one-point perspective | a perspective system with a single vanishing point on the horizon |
| two-point perspective | a perspective system with a two vanishing poinst on the horizon |
| multiple-point perspective | a perspective system with multiple vanishing points above or below the horizon |
| foreshortening | a perspective technique that depicts a form at a very oblique angle to the viewer in order to show depth in space |
| subtractive color | the colors produced from pigment |
| complementary colors | colors opposite one another on the color wheel |
| analogous colors | colors adjacent to each other on the color wheel |
| hue | general classification of a color; the distinctive characteristics of a color as seen in the visible spectrum, such as green or red |
| value | the lightness or darkness of a plane or area |
| chroma | the degree of purity of a color |
| tone | a color that is weaker than its brightest or most pure state |
| shade | a color darker in value than its purest state |
| tint | a color lighter in value than its purest state |
