| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| sighting and measuring tool that artist look through to view the subject. | viewfinder |
| imaginary plane through which the artists view their subject | picture plane |
| refers to things (objects, landscapes, etc) depicted in the drawing | subject |
| refers to over shape and dimension of the drawing surface | layout |
| width is longer than height | landscape |
| height is longer than width | portrait |
| occurs when part of an image is cut off by the outer edge of the drawing. | cropping |
| occurs when one object obscures from view part of itself or part of another object. | overlapping |
| refers to lines (varying in quality) that define the external and internal edges of form and could create an illusion of volume. | contour |
| is a sighting technique used to determine position and alignment by visually extending guiding lines to determine points of intersection with other elements in the picture plane. | line extension |
| are two positions used to hold a sighting device (pencil, ruler, etc…) for line extension measurements: | level and plumb |
| an invisible frame whose border touches an object or group of objects on its furthermost tangents: level and plumb, top and bottom; it is a visual device using line extension to help determine proportion. | bounding box |
| is a distinct and notable interaction (delineation of an edge, placement of an object or tangent of objects) which denotes a prime division (bisection) of the picture plane. | visual event |
| refers to the visual compression of an object's dimensions when viewed at an angle to the picture plane. | foreshortening |
| is a system developed during the Italian Renaissance used to create illusions of depth by depicting the apparent convergence of parallel lines as they recede into space. | linear perspective |
| the line that divides the PICTURE PLANE into ground/sky area, it also determines the 'point of view' and is also referred to as the EYE LEVEL LINE. | horizon line |
| used to describe the illusion that objects of similar size will appear to get smaller as they recede in space. | diminution |
| lines that converge at the VANISHING POINT. | orthagonals |
| Parallel lines that appear to meet at the horizon are an example of | convergence |
| refers to the point at which parallel lines appear to meet. | vanishing point |
| refers to space enclosed by the silhouette contour of an object. | positive space |
| refers to the area of the picture plane outside the silhouette contour of an object. | negative space |
| is sometimes synonymous with NEGATIVE SPACE. | interspace |
| A circle viewed at an angle to the picture plane | ellipse |
| lines move across the surfaces of form and emphasize volume. | cross contour |
| The_of an object describes the surface folds or spatial folding of it’s surface. | terrain |
| The relative degree of lightness and darkness . | value |
| refers to the differences between design elements, this can be light/dark, large/small, rough/smooth, dull/bright. | contrast |
| refers to the natural value of an object. | local value |
| is the reflection of a light source off the surface of an object. | specular highlight |
| the lightest value area when rendering an object. | highlight |
| is a process of structurally analyzing the volume of a form as flat shapes. | planar analysis |
| a theory or technique for applying light and shadow to create an illusion of form and depth. Developed during the Italian Renaissance, | chiaroscuro |
| are quick drawings that record the subject's primary structure, directional movement and expressive energy. | gesture drawings |
| a small, quick sketch used to plan the composition. | thumbnail |
| a visual device used to create the illusion of depth by drawing items of similar stature in decreasing size as the object recedes into the picture plane. | diminishing scale |
| Line, shape, value, texture and color | ELEMENTS of design |
| creates an illusion of depth by decreasing the contrast and clarity of objects as they appear to recede in space. | AERIAL PERSPECTIVE or ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE |
