|---|---|
| 5 basic elements of art | line, shape, space, texture, and color |
| a continuous path made by a moving pen, pencil or brush that makes a real or imaginary mark in relation to a point of reference | line |
| the characteristic outline or contour of an object that's distinguished from its surroundings by its distinctive form | shape |
| a 3-D empty area with a specific outline that's reserved for a particular purpose | space |
| a surface of elements woven together that's distinctive or identifying characteristics | texture |
| the appearance of objects cause by different qualities of reflected light that involves hue, lightness, darkness, value, and purity | color |
| 5 basic principles of art | balance, harmony, proportion, unity, and variety |
| a state of equilibrium between parts that creates a pleasant arrangement in the whole and depicts a difference in dimension between opposing forces or influences | balance and harmony |
| the pleasing symmetry between objects or their parts with respect to comparative size, quantity, or degree | proportion |
| the state of being in accord and having a continuity of purpose or action; its partner is variety | unity |
| diversity in a collection that has specific characteristics; its partner is unity | variety |
| any specific color | hue |
| a color made by adding black to a hue; using a mixture of of black mixed with a color to make it darker; the opposite of this is tint | shade |
| a color made by adding gray to a line | tone |
| the degree of light or darkness | value |
| black, white, and grays; artwork executed without color | achromatic |
| the complete absence of light | black |
| the intensity, strength, or purity of a color | chroma |
| colors that appear opposite one another on a color wheel | complementary colors |
| orange, violet, green; each is midway between the Primaries from which it can be mixed | secondary colors |
| colors that are the result of a beam of white light broken by a form of prism into its hues | spectrum |
| the opposite of shade; combining white with a color to make it lighter | tint |
| shadows, darkness, contrasts, and light | value |
| the part of the scene intended to be the most distant from perspective of the viewer | background |
| the part of the scene intended to be nearest the viewer | foreground |
| the line where the sky and earth meet; aka "ground line"; represented by the eye level or horizon line | horizon |
| a view of a section of country - applicable to outdoor scenes only | landscape |
| the area between the foreground and most distant part of the scene | middle ground |
| lines that are painted straight up and down | vertical lines |
| lines that are painted across the picture (90degrees from straight up and down) | horizontal lines |
| the angle from which the viewer is observing the work | point of view |
| the space behind and around an object; in 2D art, it's often synonymous with background | negative space |
| occurs when one object partially covers another; usually done for compositional purposes | overlapping |
| the arrangement of the elements of a picture | design |
| chemically pure pigments gently bound by gum or resin; pioneered mostly by French artists in the 18th century (Jean Baptiste Chardin) | pastels |
| one of the least demanding art forms in. terms of equipment requirements | pen and ink |
| the most influential element in structure that can have dramatic effect upon interpretation, light reflectivity, and symmetry | mass |
| this in a multi-piece sculpture that's an element that can be manipulated to effect interpretation by yielding clues with respect to the relationship between individual pieces | space |
| an element with 2 dimensions (length and width); plane thickness is typically minimized to provide the most dramatic differentiation between plane and volume | plane |
| this lends an element of space to a sculpture | line |
| generally an implied effect; often a function of reflected light that can be altered through the manipulation of the sculpture's | movement |
| the relative size of the work; often a product of the manipulation of other elements such as mass | scale |
| the surface quality of the work; primarily manipulated to either enhance or diminish light reflectivity and shadowing | texture |
| achieved through a variety of effects; can often add a sense of realism or a particular quality, such as age, to a work | color |
| a system of creating the illusion of 3-D on a 2-D surface; 2 basic categories: aerial and linear | perspective |
| perspective that refers to atmospheric effects on objects in space and can be seen as diminishing tones for objects which are receding from view | aerial perspective |
| perspective that describes a process. of seeing lines on objects from various angles converge and diverge | linear perspective |
| the position from which an object is seen and drawn; aka station point | point of sight |
| the horizontal plane where the artist is standing | ground plane |
| the point on the horizon immediately opposite the eye | center of vision |
| points that occur where parallel lines converge | vanishing point |
| a picture or design created in oil or water-based paint | painting |
| a body of creative writing that helps define a language, period or culture | literature |
| sounds arranged to produce a unified composition that has melody, rhythm and timber | music |
| an object created by chiseling marble, molding clay or casting in metal into a real or abstract figure | sculpture |
| an art form that's dramatic or comedic literature or other such material performed by actors impersonating characters through dialogue and action | theater |
| verbal literature composed of serious subject matter written specifically to be performed by actors in the theater or on tv, radio, or film | drama |
| humorous or satirical verbal literature depicting funny themes, situations or characters that is written to be performed by actors in the theater or on tv, radio, or film | comedy |
| to cut hard material (stone, wood, or marble) to create a form | carving |
| where the sculptor pours plaster or molten metal into a mold and lets the substance harden into desired form | casting |
| made of separate pieces of various materials and other objects glued to a surface | collage |
| an engraving technique that uses a sharp steel needle to create a rough edge, which produces soft, velvety lines | drypoint |
| the art of crafting, cutting, or etching a design on wood or metal surface then adding ink so the design can be printed | engraving |
| the art of cutting into a metal or glass surface then bathing the surface in acid, adding ink to the plate and printing the design | etching |
| a horizontal band of painted or sculpted decoration usually found at the top of a wall between the molding and the cornice | frieze |
| a printing process where a stone or metal plate has been treated with an oily substance so that the desired design retains ink while the rest of the surface is treated to repel ink | lithography |
| when a sculptor uses clay or wax to build up a form | modeling |
| multiple scenes hinged together | polyptych |
| 2 panel scene | diptych |
| 3 panel scene | triptych |
| the technique of applying paint or ink to forms cut out of cardboard, metal, plastic or other flat materials to create letters, numbers, and other images and designs | stenciling |
| a study of ordinary objects in an everyday setting in a painting, drawing or photograph | still life |
