Shape
Cut-out shapes should be arranged in ____ to each other to form negative spaces.
Proximity
Common error in compositional arrangement that tends to make the image both flat and awkward.
Tangent.
To emulate realism, one must omit outline and instead describe a scene using a "patchwork" of tones with defined boundaries called...
Value Shapes.
This light condition is considered the 3rd intensity, according to Andrew Loomis.
Sunlight.
Set of primary colors that mix subtractively, and is also known to mix the highest range of colors when used in pigment.
CMY(K).
This element should be descriptive to enhance readability and visual interest, especially for any artwork focused on the interior details rather than the interaction of multiple shapes.
Silhouette
Elements that are secondary to the area of interest should contribute to the composition’s pattern, repetition, contrast, balance, movement or variety. These are all examples of…
Design Principles
Elements in nature are described by shapes of shadows they form as well as their outer contours, which define the boundaries between this type of value.
Local value.
A light source coming from this direction will tend to cause shorter cast shadows.
Above.
Since mixing a pigment will always reduce this quality of the color, you may need to to add a new pigment to your palette to compensate.
Purity, Saturation, or Chroma
This effect for emulating the illusion of lighting in chiaroscuro artwork can also be strategically applied to designs such as logos. If overused, it can reduce clarity.
Lost edges.
The name (not number ratio) of the aspect ratio that is limited in its ability to emphasize a statement due to its wide breadth.
Panorama
Rembrandt favored this shading technique.
Cross-hatching.
When depicting a scene in sunlight, the shading of the reflected light part of a form should always be darker than this shaded part of a form.
Halftone.
The name of the complementary color your eye produces when it experiences “color fatigue” while looking at a vivid color, which also affects your perception of surrounding colors.
Afterimage.
Technical term for hole-punched negative spaces on Adobe Illustrator.
(Not to be confused with the Adobe Illustrator tools that create said negative spaces.)
Compound path.
Elements cannot be arranged in a composition meaningfully without this element interacting with them.
This element is not inside the scene itself.
Edges (of the canvas/paper).
Colors with differences in this attribute vary in value when converted to grayscale from their highest saturation levels.
Hue.
The technical ability demonstrated when maintaining the separation of values between illuminated areas and areas in shadow while shading.
(Hint: look at the Critique - Foundation Project 2 document.)
Value Control.
Defined as the limited range of colors within the spectrum visible to the human eye as determined by a set of pigments or a software’s color mode.
Gamut.
The informal name we use for the effect demonstrated when the positive and negative shapes of a design are equally important.
The "yin-yang" effect
Whereas a compositional “statement” in illustration is typically related to story, that of fine art is typically related to the visceral feelings, pleasure, or intrigue these types of qualities incite.
Abstract qualities.
In order to create illusion of realism, it can be helpful to indicate the boundaries between values and initially make your drawing resemble this children's kit before shading it.
Paint-by-numbers
The higher an artificial light source is in this measurable unit, the stronger the light; the lower it is in this measurable unit, the more dim and ambient the light.
Lumen.
Artists prioritize this quality (also considered a Design Principle) as opposed to replicating exact color like a printer.
Harmony.
