10. Name






11. Lightness or darkness of a color






12. Refers to differences in values - colors - or other art elements






13. Describes objects that are 3D having length - width - and height - while a 2D shape can be seen from only one side - a 3D form can be viewed from many sides; take up space whether they are natural or made by a designer; include rocks - sculpture - pe
