Principles of Design
All parts of an image work together to be seen as a whole
What is unity?
When the elements of design are arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically to create the impression of equality in weight or importance
What is balance?
The relative lightness or darkness of a color
What is value?
This is a type of element of art used to create a sense of depth by turning elements perceived to be farther from the viewer blue and blurry.
What is atmospheric perspective?
This art style shows the world in proportion, scale, and optically accurate to real life.
What is realism?
Refers to the size of an object in relationship to objects around it
What is proportion? (or scale)
What is symmetry?
When you add black to a pure color you create this
What is a shade?
This is an element of art that refers to the path of a moving point.
This art style takes liberties with perspective and scale, but may still hold some relationship and semblance to real life.
What is abstract art?
A tool of the artist to play with the size of objects to showcase importance in a piece of art
What is Hierarchical Scale?
When the elements of an art piece are equidistant from a center point.
What is radial balance?
The point in a piece of art that all the lines converge into a single spot on the horizon.
What is vanishing point?
This is the name of a pure color
What is hue?
A type of sculpture attached to a surface and you cannot view the sculpture from all angles.
What is a relief sculpture?
Using different elements in an image to create visual interest
What is variety?

What is iconography?
A regular arrangement of alternated of repeated elements (shapes, lines, colors, or motifs)
What is pattern?
The main subject of a piece of art that all the elements of an art work collaborate together to emphasize
What is focal point?
This system of creation is based upon the idea that parallel lines appear to converge as they recede and help create a sense of depth in art.
What is linear perspective?
This is a type of shape that has hard edges and lines.
What is geometric shape?
An art style that holds no relationship to reality or identifiable life elements can be seen.
What is non-objective art?
