Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Line   Continuous marking made by a moving point on a surface; basic building block of visual design  
🗑
Form   Comprises the shape of an object within the composition  
🗑
Color   Property of reflecting light of a particular wavelength  
🗑
Hue   Specific color with a measurable wavelength  
🗑
Value   Relationship of blacks to whites and grays (lighter or whiter a color, higher its value- darker a color, lower its value)  
🗑
Intensity   Comprises the degree of purity of a hue  
🗑
Space   A hollow volume available for occupation by shapes  
🗑
Texture   The surface "feel" of a materiel- may be illusory  
🗑
Rhythm (Repetition)   Ordered recurrence of elements in a composition  
🗑
Harmony (Repetition)   Components that appear to join naturally and comfortably  
🗑
Variation (Repetition)   Relationship of repeated items to each other  
🗑
Symmetry   Balancing of like forms, mass, & colors on opposite sides of vertical axis  
🗑
Asymmetrical   Results from careful placement of unlike items  
🗑
Unity   All elements of composition work together toward meaning  
🗑
Focal Area   Areas of greatest visual appeal  
🗑
Primary Colors   Red, blue, yellow  
🗑
Secondary Colors   Purple, orange, green  
🗑
Tertiary Colors   Red-purple, orange-red, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue purple  
🗑
Complementary Colors   Colors that lie opposite each other on the color wheel  
🗑
Drawing   Creation by hand of artistic images, forms, or shapes  
🗑
Dry Media   Chalk, charcoal, pastel, graphite  
🗑
Liquid Media   Pen & ink, wash & brush  
🗑
Painting   Creating work of art using paint  
🗑
Painting Media   Oil, acrylic, fresco, watercolor, tempera, gouache,  
🗑
Printmaking   Process of making artworks by transferring an inked image to another surface  
🗑
Printmaking Media   Intaglio, engraving, etching, drypoint, aquatint, planographic process, lithography, silkscreen, relief printing, woodcut, linoleum cut print, monotype  
🗑
Axis line   Imaginary line that helps determine the basic visual direction of a painting  
🗑
Perspective   Key device used by painters to create illusion of depth & distance  
🗑
Linear Perspective   Illusion of depth based on the fact that parallel lines or edges appear to converge & objects appear smaller as the distance between them & a viewer increases  
🗑
Atmospheric Perspective   Illusion of distance by reducing color saturation, value content, & detail in order to imply the natural haziness between the viewer & distance objects  
🗑
One-Point Perspective   All basic lines of a work converge toward a single vanishing point; used when one face of object is parallel to front of picture plane  
🗑
Two-Point Perspective   Two vanishing points; planes of the object are not parallel in relation to picture plane  
🗑
Chiaroscuro   Creates the illusion of depth through gradations of light & shade  
🗑
Dynamic   Stimulation of sensations by using certain conventional devices  
🗑
Movement   Refers to the way a painting controls the movement & pace of our vision  
🗑
Trompe l'oeil   (Fool the eye) is 2-D are that is so naturalistic that it appears to have depth & distance  
🗑
Subtraction   Sculptor carves or cuts away unwanted material to create the work  
🗑
Addition   Sculptor adds or combines material by hand (built sculpture)  
🗑
Substitution   Sculptor molds or casts an artwork  
🗑
Manipulation   Sculptor shapes the material by hand (molding clay or other materials)  
🗑
Full Round Sculpture   Sculpture employs three-dimensions & meant to be viewed from any & all angles; no background  
🗑
Relief Sculpture   Sculpture employing three-dimensions attached to a background & meant to be seen from one side  
🗑
Sunken Relief   Image is carved into the stone or material, creating in effect a negative  
🗑
Low Relief   Projects slightly from its background plane; depth dimension is very limited  
🗑
Linear Sculpture   Sculpture employing 2-D materials; use of lines  
🗑
Earth-Rooted   Where a structure's site, gravity, materials, & shape to convey a strong sense of earth connection  
🗑
Sky-Rooted   Skyscrapers & building that reach up out of the earth to bring our awareness to the sky, and away from the earth; buildings & structures that seemingly defy gravity  
🗑
Earth-Resting   Buildings that balance or harmonize the relationship between sky & earth  
🗑
Earth-Dominating   Certain palaces & buildings that seem to dominate or stand over the earth, dominating it with a sense of power, gravity, weight, and presence  
🗑
Scale   Size or apparent size of an object seen in relation to other objects, people, or its enviroment  
🗑
Proportion   Relative relationship of shapes or forms to one another  
🗑
Arch   Curved masonry structure capable of spanning a space while supporting significant weight  
🗑
Dome   Common structural element of architecture resembling the hollow upper half of a sphere  
🗑
Cantilever   Projecting beam or bracket stabilized by the weight of the wall from which it extends (balcony)  
🗑
Spatial Relationship   Distance between objects on stage; one body in relation to another, to group, or to the architecture  
🗑
Space (Landscape Architecture)   Basic medium of landscape design; can take form from arrangement of living walls  
🗑
Intent (Landscape Architecture)   Character refers to the intent of the designer to create a harmonious & unified landscape  
🗑
Sequence (Landscape Architecture)   Involves movement through space & movement from space to space  
🗑
The Floor (Landscape Architecture)   Contains the walks or roads that define movement, & linear qualities form backbone of spatial function  
🗑
Tensile Strength   Resistance of a material; measured as the maximum tension the material can withstand without tearing  
🗑
Sensory Strength   Space around a sculpture is sensory rather than empty; it is felt  
🗑
Ephemeral   Lasting for markedly brief time  
🗑
Elements Of 3-D Art   Line, form, color, space, & texture  
🗑
Focal Point   Center, or most important area to keep spectator interested  
🗑
High-Relief Sculpture   Forms stand out from the background  
🗑
Three-Point Perspective   Starts out like a two-point; two widely spaced vanishing points on a horizontal line with a vertical line added
