What is the principle repetition? | the design is copied or repeated |
How does texture affect color? | smoother surfaces reflect more light than rough surfaces |
What do curved lines suggest? | adds soft, graceful effect to designs |
What is the difference between horizontal, vertical, and radial balance? | vertical balance is when the top and bottom parts are equal. horizontal balance is when left and right parts are equal. radial balance is when the elements radiate out from the design. |
