Art Final Flashcards
2024
A mark made by a pointed tool, can be long, short, straight, curved, thick or thin, can be geometric or organic
Line
man-made lines
Geometric lines
curved and natural lines often see in nature
organic lines
communicates emotion in art
expressive line
suggests an edge rather than clearly defining one
implied line
defines a form or an edge
contour line
drawing without looking at the paper and observing only the subject matter
blind contour drawing
describes the form and volume, lines move around and across objects as well as through them
cross contour drawing
a closed line that is 2-D
shape
man-made, can be described in mathematical terms
geometric shape
curved and natural, often found in nature
organic shape
visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship
color wheel
name of a color
hue
how light or dark a color is
value
how bright or dull a color is
intensity
an association of colors based on an organizational system
color scheme
directly across from one another on the color wheel
complementary colors
sits next to each other on the color wheel
analogous colors
a color on the wheel plus the 2 colors that sit beside its complement
split complementary colors
line that represents where the earth and sky meet
horizon line
point at which parallel lines seem to converge in one point perspective
vanishing point
a mixture of a color with white, which reduces darkness
tint
a mixture with black, which increases darkness
shade
red, blue, yellow
primary colors
orange, violet, green
secondary colors
colors associated with the sun (red, orange, yellow)

cool colors
using dots to create light and dark values
stippling
using lines to create light and dark values
hatching
the surface quality of a work of art
texture
visual texture only perceived by the viewer
implied texture
actual physical surface of an artwork or design
real texture
the feeling of depth or 3 dimensions
space
subject areas of interest
positive space
space around or between objects
negative space
the appearance of spatial depth in an artwork, tools an artists uses to create depth
spacial indicator
drawing method that shows how things appear to get smaller as they get further away, all lines converge at vanishing point
one point perspective
list 3 lines and the emotional qualities they possess
jagged-angry, straight or smooth- calm, random scribbles-stressed
what is the difference between geometric and organic shapes?
geometric shapes are man-made and can be described in mathematical terms, while organic shapes are natural and can be found in nature
list 3 different complementary color schemes
blue and orange, red and green, purple and yellow
list 2 different split complementary color schemes
yellow, red violet, blue violet; red, blue green, yellow green
list the warm colors
red, orange, yellow
What does value change do to a composition?
it creates depth within the composition
list 2 implied textures
wood, hair, etc.
