Wide.
A shape has height and width but no what?
Depth.
Value describes how ______ or ______ something is.
Light or dark.
A form has height, width, and what?
Depth.
The point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to meet.
The vanishing point.
What type of line often feels calm or gentle?
Curved lines.
Shapes like circles, squares, and triangles belong to what category?
Geometric shapes.
A smooth transition from light to dark is called what?
A gradient or value scale.
A sphere, cube, cone, and cylinder are examples of what?
Forms (3D objects).
How many vanishing points are in one-point perspective?
One.
What type of line creates a sense of movement?
Diagonal lines.
Shapes like clouds, leaves, and puddles belong to what category?
Organic shapes.
Value helps objects look more what?
3D and realistic.
What is the 3D version of a circle?
A sphere.
Where are perspective lines directed in one-point perspective?
Toward the vanishing point.
List three types of lines.
Straight, curved, zigzag, diagonal, horizontal, vertical.
What makes a shape different from a form?
A shape is 2D; a form is 3D.
What two things does value show on a form?
Shadows and highlights.
Name the difference between shape and form.
Shape is 2D; form is 3D.
How does changing the placement of the horizon line affect the drawing?
It changes the viewer’s eye level (high, middle, or low viewpoint).
Why are lines important for mood in a drawing?
Different lines communicate different feelings (calm, energetic, tense, etc.).
Give one example of a geometric shape and one example of an organic shape.
Geometric: square, circle, triangle. Organic: leaf, cloud, puddle.
How does value create depth in drawing?
By using shading to show volume, form, and distance.
