1. Looks like texture - but is actually on smooth - flat paper






2. How your eye is carried through a work of art - visual movement - through repitition of lines - shapes - color - etc.

6. Lightness or darkness of a color






7. Adding white to a color to make it lighter

11. You need light in order to see color; color has three properties: hue - value - intensity






12. The same shapes of elements are repeated again and again






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






14. Repetition of the elements that help unify the surface and create a feeling of organization

23. Mixing one primary color and an adjacent secondary color






24. Adding white to a color to make it lighter






25. 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
