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






2. The actual object - or subject matter






3. One color and the colors on both sides of its complement






4. Orange - green - and violet; made from mixing two primary colors together






5. Colors on both sides of the complement set






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






7. 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






8. Colors on both sides of the complement set






9. Colors that make you feel warm: red - yellow - and orange






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






11. Where the design radiates through a central point






12. Mixing one primary color and an adjacent secondary color






13. A mark made by a pointed tool and is often defined by a moving dot; can vary in width - direction - curvature - length - and even color; often suggests movement in a drawing or a painting






14. Where things on either side of the center line are almost alike or identical






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






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






17. Three equally spaced colors on the color wheel






18. Red - yellow - and blue; from those three colors - all others can be made - but no other color can make these three

35. Focal point - area of importance - what your eyes see first






36. Where things on either side of the center line are almost alike or identical






37. Colors that make you feel warm: red - yellow - and orange






38. Red - yellow - and blue; from those three colors - all others can be made - but no other color can make these three






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






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






41. An area that is contained within an implied line or is seen and identified because of color or value changes; have two dimensions - length and width - and can be geometric or free form - organic






42. Describes the feel of a n actual surface - 2 types: actual - and implied.






43. Refers to the arragement of elements on either side of a center line: symmetrical - asymmetrical - and radial






44. A mark made by a pointed tool and is often defined by a moving dot; can vary in width - direction - curvature - length - and even color; often suggests movement in a drawing or a painting






45. Birghtness of dullness of a color






46. The areas around the positive space - usually the background






47. The areas above - below - around - or within something - 2 types: positive and negative
