Lesson 6 Flashcards
What are visual media?
Materials, programs, applications, and the like that teachers and students use to formulate new information to aid learning through the use, analysis, evaluation, and production of visual images
Visual media enhances the educational experience by providing visual stimuli that can be analyzed and evaluated.
List types of visual media.
- Photography
- Video
- Screenshots
- Infographics
- Data Visualization
- Comic Strips/Cartoons
- Memes
These types can be used in various educational contexts to convey information.
What is the purpose of visual information?
- Gain Attention
- Create Meaning
- Facilitate Retention
Effective visual information engages learners and aids in memory retention.
Define ‘Line’ in visual design elements.
Describes a shape or outline. It can create texture and can be thick or thin.
Lines can influence the perception of design and guide the viewer’s eye.
What is ‘Shape’ in visual design elements?
Usually a geometric area that stands out from the space next to or around it, or because of differences in value, color, or texture.
Shapes form the basic building blocks of design.
What does ‘Value’ refer to in visual design?
The degree of light and dark in a design. It is the contrast between black and white and all the tones in between.
Value is crucial for creating depth and dimension in visual media.
Define ‘Texture’ as a visual design element.
The way a surface feels or is perceived to feel.
Texture can add a tactile quality to visual presentations.
What is ‘Color’ in the context of visual design?
Determined by its hue (name of color), intensity (purity of the color), and value (lightness and darkness of hue).
Color plays a significant role in evoking emotions and conveying messages.
Define ‘Form’ in visual design elements.
A figure having thickness.
Form adds a three-dimensional aspect to visual representations.
What is the principle of ‘Consistency’ in visual design?
Consistency of margins, typeface, typestyle, and colors is necessary.
Consistency helps in creating a cohesive visual experience.
What does ‘Center of interest’ mean in visual design principles?
An area that first attracts attention in a composition. This area is more important compared to the other objects or elements.
The center of interest helps guide the viewer’s focus.
Define ‘Balance’ in visual design principles.
A feeling of visual equality in shape, form, value, color.
Balance can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, affecting the composition’s stability.
What is ‘Harmony’ in visual design?
Brings together a composition with similar units.
Harmony ensures that different elements work well together.
Define ‘Contrast’ in visual design principles.
Offers some change in value creating a visual discord in a composition.
Contrast is essential for highlighting differences and creating focal points.
What is ‘Directional Movement’ in visual design?
A visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object.
Directional movement guides the viewer’s eye through the design.
Define ‘Rhythm’ in visual design principles.
A movement in which some elements recur regularly.
Rhythm can create a sense of organized movement in a design.
What is ‘Perspective’ in visual design?
Created through the arrangement of objects in two-dimensional space to look like they appear in real life.
Perspective adds depth and realism to visual representations.
