WEEKLY VOCAB: ELEMENTS OF ART


TEXTURE: In visual art this is how the surface quality of the art is perceived. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties.
FORM: The form is related to the perceived volume of the art or image.
LINE: A point moving in space whose path can be identified. These often define the edges of the form.
COLOR: The element of art when light trikes an object and reflects back to the eye. The three properties are hue, intensity and value.
VALUE: A property of color. Refers to the use of light and darkness on a piece of art or photo.
SHAPE: This is the suss of area in a two-dimensional space that is defined by edges.

PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN:

SPACE: An area that is two-dimensional or three-dimensional where all the other elements of design are placed.
REPETITION: This refers to when an object or shape repeated or duplicated in a piece of art or photo. It's like a pattern.
BALANCE: Arranging elements of a piece so that no one part is "heavier" than the other part.
EMPHASIS: It is an object or area that brings most attention to it. It is the focal point of the art or photo.
MOVEMENT: Strategies that are use to show movement in a picture. It also helps to direct the viewer's eyes through the picture.
PATTERN: A group of artistic elements or objects that repeat in a predictable manner in the picture.
PROPORTION: The relationship between the sizes of the objects or elements on a picture.
RHYTHM: Elements that are repeated, alternated or arranged in a manner that gives the picture rhythm, and also gives it a sense of movement.
UNITY: The relationship between all the elements of a picture that allow it to function as a piece of art.
VARIETY: The differences between all the elements of the picture that make it interesting to look at. It must also, however, have unity.

ISO FILM SPEED: measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system. A closely related ISO system is used to measure the sensitivity of digital imaging systems.
