Principal and elements of design Flashcards
Review the type of line and physical impact of each?
Lines can be vertical, horizontal, diagonal or curved.
**Line= is an element of art defined by a point moving in space.
They can be any width or texture.
And can be continuous, implied, or broken.
Line= A design element that connects two points.
Can also depict the outline of a form or shape.
Shape= the identifiable, contour of an object or space.
Texture= Apparent surface quality as perceived through tactile or visual senses.
Rhythm = A design principle characterized by a recurrence of features or elements.

The physical impact of texture versus smooth surfaces?
Textured surface is more comfortable.
Smooth surfaces are less comfortable
Texture: refers to the visual or tactile characteristics of natural and man-made objects or materials.
*The terminology used to describe textural characteristics is associated with both sight and touch. Tactile or “actual” textures, such as bricks, sandpaper, or a wool carpet, can be physically felt and represent three-dimensional qualities. Visual textures, also called simulated or illusionary, can be smooth to touch but visually appear to have textural qualities similar to real ones”
Smooth surfaces are better suited for electrical contacts, while rough surfaces are better suited for water repellency and friction like in brakes.
What’s the difference between an open space impression and a close space impression?
Open space impression is a
large, open more freeing.
Closed space impression is a
small space more cozy.
Rhythm is created in a space by??
The flow of the design.
***Repetition, Alteration, Progression
How it affects a person ?
“Rhythm
Rhythm can be thought of as organized movement, regular intervals, or recurrence, such as the pattern of a heartbeat or of water dripping from a faucet. Visually, it can be seen in the repetitive use of brick forms in a wall, columns in a Greek temple, or repeated forms of leaves in a tree. Rhythm can be accomplished through repetition, alternation, and progression.
Line
“Line is classified as straight, curved, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal—depending on how the viewer uses or perceives it.”
