TOA1

Question 1

how users, client, community or even the designer assigned value to forms and spaces

Answer 1

Value system

Question 2

Differences rely on the importance of the form and spaces due to
• Function
• Symbolic roles

Answer 2

Hierarchy

Question 3

Hierarchy is achieved by:

Answer 3

• Exceptional size
  • Unique shape
  • Strategic location

Question 4

Element can be of significant it is the smallest or the biggest in size of similar shapes

Answer 4

Exceptional Size

Question 5

• Contrast in shape

Answer 5

Unique Shape

Question 6

• End of line or axial organization
• Centerpiece of a symmetrical
organization
• Central or radial organization
• Offset above, below, or in the
foreground of a composition

Answer 6

Strategic Location

Question 7

cut through or form a common edge for the pattern while grid of lines can form a neutral, unifying field for the patterns

Answer 7

Line

Question 8

serve as background and frame the elements

Answer 8

Plane

Question 9

collect pattern of elements within the boundaries or organize them along the perimeter

Answer 9

Volume

Question 10

is the movement characterized by the patterned recurrence of elements or motifs at regular or irregular interval

Answer 10

Rhythm

Question 11

It is generally difficult to change the form of a point as it only possesses the most basic of visual element property, its position or location. If one changes its only property, it simply is transferred, and not transformed.

Answer 11

Form Transformation

Question 12

Form Transformation can happen by:

Answer 12

• Extension/Expansion
• Curving/Rolling
• Rotation
• Folding

Question 13

the element of contact between mass (solid) and space.

Answer 13

form

Question 14

Spheres, cones, pyramids, cubes or solids taken collectively are very important primary forms. They serve as “_________” of the objects that we see around us.

Answer 14

building blocks

Question 15

refers to the change made by means of changing any of the figure’s dimensions (length, width, height, volume), while maintaining its characteristics that allow it to remain in its original family of forms. The example on the right is part of the cube/box classification.

Answer 15

Dimensional Transformation

Question 16

may or may not result to the retention of the figure’s identity. A pyramid going through a subtractive transformation may end up as a diamond or a type of prismatic figure (prismatoid), bringing it into another family of figure classification.

Answer 16

Subtractive Transformation

Question 17

is likely to change the group classification of the figure, and possibilities of resulting to a new form seem endless.

Answer 17

Additive Transformation

Question 18

indicates a position in space has no length, width, depth

static, directionless, centralized

Answer 18

Point

Question 19

As element of form, a point serve as:

Answer 19

• Two ends of a line
• Intersection of two lines
• Meeting of lines at the corner of the plane or volume
• The center of the field

Question 20

extending a point produce a line
A line is a continuous mark made by a pencil, brush, pen or other tool.
Lines can be thick or thin, straight or curved, jagged or smooth, light or heavy.

Answer 20

Line

Question 21

extending line and intersecting with two more lines become a plane. It has length and width shape, surface, orientation, position.

Answer 21

Plane

Question 22

is the identifying character of form.

Answer 22

Shape
