In art, it is the use or purpose in an artwork.

1. function In art, it is the use or purpose in an artwork.

2. Form (as opposed to function) The aesthetic value in an artwork.

3. abstraction To create an image from a realistic subject altering the subject to appear less realistic. Ex. Could be, but not limited to: Stretching, pinching, re-scaling, re-distributing proportions, zooming in/out, texturizing, minimizing detail, changing line or shape quality, etc.

4. Still-life A painting or drawing of inanimate objects.

5. Design Elements Are the seven basic building blocks of visual art.

6. Design Elements LINE SHAPE COLOR VALUE TEXTURE SPACE FORM

7. Line A mark. Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and can show emotion in an artwork.

8. Shape When line curves or corners around and crosses over itself it becomes a shape. Shapes are either geometric or organic.

9. Color Color has three main properties: • Hue • Value • Intensity

10. Hue Is the name of a specific color.

11. Value The lightness or darkness of a hue.

12. Texture The quality of a surface: Smooth, rough, bumpy, hairy, etc.

13. Actual Texture The physical quality of a surface that you can actually feel: Plastic is smooth, my cat is furry, a rock wall is bumpy.

14. Implied Texture An illusion of the quality of a surface. Using drawing, painting and layering techniques to create the appearance of texture in an artwork.

15. Space The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks. Around, above, inside, outside, help describe space

16. Form In 3D artworks it is the quality of the shape. Ex. Cubes, spheres and cones

17. Design Principles Are the guidelines to assist in organizing the elements in a work of art.

18. Design Principles Emphasis Variety Movement Proportion Contrast Unity Balance

19. Emphasis Where an artist draws attention to one or more parts of a design.

20. Variety The differences in any element in a work of art give it variety. Ex: A variety of shape sizes or a variety of the same hue

21. Movement The path the viewer’s eye is directed to take by the artist’s choice of elements such as line.

22. Proportion – aka – Scale The relationships of size in artworks in relation to how they are normally viewed. Ex. A perfectly drawn person in proportion or a perfectly drawn person with an tiny head

23. Contrast A large difference between elements. Green and Red, dark and light, large and small, thin and thick, bright and dull.

24. Unity A sense that all of the parts belong together as one piece of artwork.

25. Balance An appearance of evenness in an artwork. There are two kinds: Symmetry & Asymmetry

26. Symmetry In composition it is an arrangement of elements using order or disorder.

27. Vertical symmetry A composition with identical or similar elements arranged on both the right and left halves of an image.

28. Horizontal symmetry A composition with identical or similar elements arranged on both the top and bottom halves of an image.

29. Radial symmetry A composition with a center point from which the arrangement of elements radiate around in a circular format. Imagine: Cut a piece of “pie” out of an empty circle. Create a design on the piece of pie. Repeat the pie piece to finish off the “pie.”

30. Radial symmetry

31. Asymmetry A composition with a heavy and light amount of elements. Asymmetry uses disorder to create balance.

32. Inking The technique of marking over sketch lines to create a final and permanent drawing. The medium can be: pen, marker, burnished colored pencil, etc.

33. Variety The differences between elements in a single artwork create variety.

34. Shading Creating value in an artwork that alludes to dimension, placement, texture, etc.

35. Gradation A smooth and gradual change in value. Color to color, light to dark, busy to sparse, etc.

36. Pigment A coloring agent bonded with wax, oil, chalk, or water based medium.

37. Medium The type of material used to create a piece of artwork.

38. GET OUT:Vocabulary Inventory DO NOT Sign out a laptop Ticket Question #4: Please describe a complimentary color scheme.

39. Geometric Line or shape that has a rigid or mathematically correct path and is not free flowing. Ex. A Bookcase, a zigzag line, or a lampshade.

40. Organic Line or shape that has a natural or imperfect path rather than a rigid or geometric path. Ex. A flower petal, squiggly line, or a curtain.

41. Portfolio A storage place for artwork that can also be used as a mode of transportation for artwork.

42. Sketchbook A place to compile notes, sketches, preliminary ideas etc.

43. Craftsmanship The execution of detail, organization and care that can be visually evaluated in an artwork.

44. Line Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and can show emotion in an artwork.

45. Shape When line curves or corners around and crosses over itself it becomes a shape. Shapes are either geometric or organic.

46. Critique A critical review of artwork.

47. Gallery A Formal location to showcase a group of artwork by one artist or a selection artists.

48. relief A 3D artwork from which all elements project from a flat surface.

49. In-the-round A 3D artwork that can be viewed from all sides

50. Color Theory The art and science of color interaction and effects.
