| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the visual "tools" artists use to create art. Includes: color, value, line, shape, form, texture, and space. | Elements of design |
| A mark with length and direction, created by a point that moves across a surface. Can vary in length, width, direction, curvature, and color. Can be two-dimensional (a pencil mark on paper, three-dimensional (wire), or implied. | line |
| Also called line width. The thickness of a line, characterized as thick or thin. | line weight |
| a flat figure created when actual or implied lines meet to surround a space. It is 2 dimensional and is either geometric (square, triangle, circle) or organic (irregular in outline). | shape |
| An element of design. Any three dimensional object such as a cube, sphere, pyramid, cylinder. Can be measured from top to bottom (height), side to side (width), and front to back (depth). | form |
| A shape or form that is irregular in outline, such as things in nature. | organic shapes |
| A shape or form that has smooth, even edges. They include circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and ellipses. Includes cones, cubes, cylinders, slabs, pyramids, and spheres. | geometric shapes |
| The way a surface feels (actual ) or how it may look (implied). Can be sensed by touch and sight. They are described by words such as rough, silky, pebbly. | texture |
| Artwork that has been made to have the appearance of texture (cat fur, curly, straight hair, shiny glass, etc.) | implied texture |
| Positive: is filled by a shape or a form (subject). Negative: surrounds a shape or a form. | space |
| The empty space surrounding shapes or solid forms in a work of art. | negative space |
| The objects/subject in a work of art, not the background or the space around them. | positive space |
| another word for hue, which is the common name for a ____, in or related to the spectrum, such as yellow, yellow-orange, blue-violet, green. | color |
| Another word for color. | hue |
| A plan for selecting or organizing colors. Examples are: warm, cool, neutral, monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split-complementary, and triad. | color scheme |
| 2+ colors that are closely related because they have one hue in common and are side by side on the color wheel. For example, blue, blue-violet, and violet, all contain the color blue. | analogous |
| Colors that are directly opposite each other on the color wheel, such as red & green, blue & orange, & violet & yellow. When they are mixed together they make a neutral brown or gray. When next to each other in a work of art create strong contrasts. | complimentary |
| colors often connected with cool places, things, or feelings. The family of colors ranging from the greens through the blues and violets. | cool colors |
| Colors that are often associated with fire and the sun and remind people of warm places, things and feelings. The family of range from the reds through the oranges and yellows. | warm colors |
| what are the cool colors | blue, green, and purples |
| what are the warm colors | red, orange, and yellow |
| what are the primary colors | yellow, blue, and red |
| a color made by mixing a secondary color with a primary color. b-g, y-g, y-o, r-o, r-p, and b-p are examples of these colors. | Tertiary/Intermediate Colors |
| made of only a single color or hue and its tints and shades. | Monochromatic |
| a color not associated with a hue. Such as black, white, gray, or brown. | neutral colors |
| One of the three basic colors (red, yellow, blue) that cannot be made by mixing colors. These are used for mixing other colors. | primary colors |
| an element of art that means the darkness or lightness of a surface. Depends on how much light a surface reflects. This can also be an important element of art in which there is little or no color (drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and). | value |
| Any dark value of a color, usually made by adding black. | shade |
| a light value of a pure color, usually made by adding white. For example, pink is this of red. | tint |
| Guidelines that help artists to create designs & control how viewers are likely to react to images. Balance, contract, proportion, pattern, rhythm, emphasis, unity, and variety are examples of these. | principles of design |
| A principle of design that describes how parts of an artwork are arranged to create a sense of equal weight or interest. An artwork that has this seems to have equal visual weight or interest in all areas. Types are symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial. | balance |
| A type of balance in which both sides of a center line are exactly or nearly the same, like a mirror image. For example, the wings of a butterfly. Also known as formal balance. | symmetrical |
| A type of visual balance in which the two sides of the composition are different yet balanced; visually equal without being identical. Also called informal balance. | asymmetrical |
| A kind of balance in which lines or shapes spread out from a center point. | radial balance |
| A choice of lines, colors, or shapes repeated over and over in a planned way. Is also a model or a guide for making something. | pattern |
| Areas in a work of art that catch and hold the viewer's attention. These areas usually have contrasting sizes, shapes, colors, or other distinctive features. Focal Points or the main character of a work of art. | emphasis |
| A feeling that all parts of a design are working together as a team. | unity |
| The use of different lines, shapes, textures, colors and other elements of design to create interest in a work of art. | variety |
| A type of visual or actual movement in an artwork. A principle of design. It is created by repeating visual elements. Often described as regular, alternating, flowing progressive, or jazzy. | rhythm |
| A way of combining visual elements to produce a sense of action. This combination of element helps the viewer's eye sweep over the work in a definite manner. | movement |
| Art that is based on a subject you can recognize, but the artist simplifies, leaves out, or rearranges some elements so that you may not recognize them. | abstract |
| The materials used by the artist to produce a work of art. | art media |
| A drawing that shows only the edges (contours) of objects. | contour drawing |
| art that has no recognizable subject matter. It uses the elements of design to create the work | non-objective art |
| The lightness or darkness of a color | value |
| Color shade gradually progressing to another shade. There are no stop and starts where values change. | gradient value scale |
| A technique in which the artist creates the illusion of depth by placing one object in front of another. | overlapping |
