Refers to closely related colors; a color scheme that combines several hues next to each other on the color wheel.
What is analogous
100
A three-dimensional work of art either in the round (to be viewed from all sides) or in bas relief (low relief in which figures protrude slightly from the background).
What is a sculpture
100
A system for representing three-dimensional objects viewed in spatial recession on a two-dimensional surface.
What is perspective
100
A two-dimensional area or plane that may be open or closed, free-form or geometric. It can be found in nature or is made by humans.
What is shape
100
Intentional, regular repetition of lines of shapes to achieve a specific repetitious effect or pattern.
What is rhythm
200
The visual sensation dependent on the reflection or absorption of light from a given surface. The three characteristics of color are hue, value, and intensity.
What is color
200
A type of art in which events are planned and enacted before an audience for aesthetic reasons.
What is performance art
200
Aerial or atmospheric perspective achieved by using bluer, lighter, and duller hues for distant objects in a two-dimensional work of art.
What is Aerial perspective
200
A point moving in space. Line can vary in width, length, curvature, color, or direction.
What is line
200
Special stress given to an element to make it stand out.
What is emphasis
300
Colors opposite one another on the color wheel. Red/green, blue/orange, and yellow/violet are examples of complementary colors.
What is Complimentary colors
300
Artwork in which the subject matter is stated in a brief, simplified manner. Little or no attempt is made to represent images realistically, and objects are often simplified or distorted.
What is abstract
300
A graphic system used by artists to create the illusion of depth and volume on a flat surface. The lines of buildings and other objects in a picture are slanted, making them appear to extend back into space.
What is Linear Perspective
300
The surface quality of materials, either actual (tactile) or implied (visual). It is one of the elements of art.
What is texture
300
The principle of design dealing with the creation of action.
What is movement
400
An element of art. Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity.
What is color theory
400
The drawing of an object as though the drawing tool is moving along all the edges and ridges of the form.
What is contour drawings
400
In perspective drawing, a point at which receding lines seem to converge.
What is Vanishing Point
400
The emptiness or area between, around, above, below, or contained within objects. Shapes and forms are defined by the space around and within them, just as spaces are defined by the shapes and forms around and within them.
What is space
400
Difference between two or more elements (e.g., value, color, texture) in a composition; juxtaposition of dissimilar elements in a work of art; also, the degree of difference between the lightest and darkest parts of a picture.
What is Contrast
500
Colors selected and used without reference to those found in reality.
What is arbitrary colors
500
The hanging of ordinary objects on museum walls or the combining of found objects to create something completely new.
What is installation art
500
In perspective drawing, a point at which receding lines seem to converge.
What is Vanishing Point
500
A three-dimensional volume or the illusion of three dimensions (related to shape, which is two-dimensional); the particular characteristics of the visual elements of a work of art (as distinguished from its subject matter or content).
What is form
500
Total visual effect in a composition achieved by the careful blending of the elements of art and the principles of design.
