Principles of Art
This principle is achieved when opposite elements are arranged together.
Contrast
This refers to the color itself, which is distinct from any other color, and represents the name we assign that color such as red, orange, and magenta
Hue
Flat enclosed areas that are 2-dimensional (length and height). There are geometric and organic types of these.
Shapes
The color wheel includes how many colors
12
Art is expressed through the use of a material, called this.
Medium
This principle is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art. There are several different types of this principle; Physical representation, Implied representation, Guided and Illusion.
Movement
These colors are the combination of one primary color with one secondary color. There are six on the traditional color wheel: (red-purple), (red-orange), (yellow-orange), (yellow-green), (blue-green), and (blue-purple).
Tertiary Colors
The element that describes how light or dark something appears.
value
These colors are created when combining 2 of the primary colors together
Secondary
Art that presents the real world as it appears
Representational Art
In art and design, this principle refers to the relative size of one object compared to another, typically the size of the artwork to the viewer's body.
Scale
Reds, oranges, and yellows are referred to as these type of colors. Blue, Greens and Purples are referred to as these types of colors. (2 Part answer)
Warm and Cool Colors
This describes the feel or appearance of a surface. Physical and Implied are types of these.
Texture
The colors from which all other colors can be made are primary and they are made up of these colors.
Red, Yellow and Blue
the arrangement and organization of visual elements within an artwork to create a cohesive and impactful whole
Composition
This principle is an important tool for the artist. With accuracy, we can create drawings and paintings that are realistic. By manipulating this principle, we can emphasize elements and communicate ideas
Proportion
They are pairs of colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. When placed side by side, they create the highest contrast and can be used to make shapes and highlights really stand out
Complementary
This element helps create the illusion of depth and can be positive or negative.
space
The purity of a color; the more pure the color, the higher the this term.
Intensity
This type of art occurs when an artist intentionally creates an altered depiction of a subject or concept, often disregarding the rules of representational art.
Abstract
This principle is created by the variety and repetition of elements in a work of art that come together to create a visual tempo or beat.
Rhythm
This color scheme is when it only features shades or tints of a single hue.
Monochromatic
a path created by a moving point, used to define edges, suggest shapes, show movement or emotion, and guide the viewer's eye through a composition
Line
Adding this color is considered a tint.
White
Art that has no beginnings in the real world but comes from the mind of the artist. It doesn’t represent anything in real life.
Non-Representational Art
