the elements of art form the basic --- of art

the principles of design are a kind of ---- that artists apply to the elements of art

a line that is a continuous mark

the line that defines the edge of a shape

one definition of this element is "a mark that connects two points"

a line that givers viewers the impression that there are seeing a line where there is not a continuos mark

by orienting lines so that they attract attention to a specific area of a work the artist is using

a contour line defines the the outer edge or profile of an object and can be used to suggest a volume in space T or F

a shape made of perfectly straight lines would be classified as

the type of shape that is composed of unpredictable, irregular lines is called

a shape on a flat picture surface that is defined by surrounding empty space is known as a

in a 2D work, when the figure becomes the background and the background becomes the figure, we perceive

Because it is 3D a form has 3 spatial measurements

a 2D object is called a shape, a 3D object is called a

These 4 visual elements of art- form, volume, mass, texture, are present in --- works of art

Forms such as a pyramid which tend to be precise are known as --- forms

A 3D surface that is designed to be viewed from one direction is known as a

an upright stone that has an incised relief on its surface is known as a

the element of art that defines the amount of space occupied by an object is

--- volume is a space that is enclosed by materials that are not entirely solid

by using ---- texture to contradict tactile experience, artists can invite viewers to reconsider the world around them

the lightness or darkness of a surface is the element of art called

artists can create a sense of ---- by using light and dark values

a series of different values that are grouped together is called

the chiaroscuro method uses 5 defined values: cast, shadow, reflected light, core shadows and light and ----

the process of using a series of parallel lines set close to another to differentiate planes of value in a work of art is called

hatching and cross hatching use 2D lines to communicate ---- depth

when using a series of squares that are exactly the same shape, implied depth can be achieved by

an artist can use color to indicate depth. when a color is very pure, intense then it seems to be

one point perspective does convey depth, but it has limited applications due to its reliance on a single

this type of perspective is used when an object is being viewed from an angle rather than from directly in front

if an artist were to depict 5 people each running toward a different tree, from different starting pts, of view. we call

this subject can be used to separate white light into the colors of the spectrum

physioists have explained that when we see a color it is the portion of the light spectrum that a surface fails to

if you were to look at a t-shirt that absorbed: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, what color would be appear?

hue

subtractive color theory

a color that is lighter than its basic hue is known as a tint. a color that is darker than its basic hue is called a

an artwork that has many hues but only one value is called monochromatic T or F

we generally associate a color with its purest, most intense state or its highest level of

a color that is almost gray has a --- saturation

this art movement of the 1960s relies on perceptual anomalies of the human eye to create dynamic objects

this spinning toy gives as sense of motion to a viewer when he or she looks at through the small slits in its cylindrical drum at a strip of changing pictures

this type of art can only exist in one place and time in history

this type of sculpture can move and change its visual form

the elements of time and motion are not applicable to the art of photography T or F

what element describes the imposition of order and harmony on a design

3 kinds of unity

compositional unity strikes as interesting because monotony of too much similarity and chaos of too much ---- in a work of art

variety can ---- a design

----- balance is achieved when 2 halves if a composition are nor mirror images of each other

nonobjective art is
