| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Colors that cannot be created through the mixing of the colors | Primary Colors |
| Primary Colors | Red, Yellow & Blue |
| Mixing primary colors together produces what? | Secondary Colors |
| Secondary Colors | Green, Purple and Orange |

| The element that is longer than it is wider | Line |
| The element referring to various types of mark making | Line |
| The element that may not be continuous or physically connected | Line |
| The two elements that can be actual or implied | Line and Texture |

| The element that is defined by edges or lines | Shape |
| The element that can be geometric or organic | Shape |
| The element that is the quality of a surface | Texture |
| The element that refers to relative lightness or darkness of tones or colors | Value |
| The element that is black, white and all shades of grey in between | Value |
| The principle that refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design. | Proportion |
| The relationship that exists between objects, or parts of a whole | Proportion |
| The principle that is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the composition creating a sense of completeness | Unity |
| The principle that is the use of several different elements with some common meaning or style to guide the eye through one composition | Variety |
| The two principles that can each stand on their own but they are always present together in effective design | Unity & Variety |
| The distribution of the visual weight of the elements of art within a compostion | Balance |
| The principle that can be described as having equal "weight" on equal sides of a centrally placed fulcrum (point). | Symmetrical Balance |
| The principle balance that is referred to as "Formal" balance | Symmetrical Balance |
| The principle that is being used when the property of being symmetrical is along the vertical plane | Bilateral Symmetry |
| The balance principle when the two sides are not identical, but differ from one another. | Asymmetrical Balance |
| The principle balance that is used when the elements are arranged so that there is a "sense" of balance | Asymmetrical Balance |
| The form of balance attained when visual units are arranged to create a sense of equilibrium without repeating identical units with respect to a central line | Approximate Balance |
| The condition of having similar parts regularly arranged around a central axis | Radial Symmetry |
| The point of focus in a composition that most strongly attracts the viewer's attention | Emphasis |
| The artist may direct the viewers to the focus of the composition through which two ways of emphasis? | Repetition or contrast |
| The principle that is created when one or more of the elements of art are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. | Rhythm |
| The principle rhythm that refers to the characteristic flow of the individual line | Linear Rhythm |
| The principle rhythm that is specific instance of pattering in which a sequence of repeating themes. | Alternation Rhythm |
| The principle rhythm that involves the use of patterning to achieve timed movement and a visual "beat" | Repetition Rhythm |
| The principle rhythm that employs a series of themes patterned to relate to one another through a regular progression of steps | Gradation Rhythm |
| What does CRAP stand for | Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and proportion |
| What are considered the "automatic principles" | CRAP (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and proportion) |
