A composition that is based on a circle with the design radiating from a central point.

Anything that is of lesser importance than the dominant element in an artwork.

A precise, elegant handwriting or lettering done by hand.

An element of art that is three-dimensional (3D) and encloses volume.

An art work's actual or implied surface quality, such as rough, smooth, or soft.

A depiction that exaggerates features or characteristics of a subject to an absurd degree.

Row pattern with vertical orientation each row evenly spaced, half height; shifted horizontal.

A word to describe constant changing or moving; in a state of imbalance or tension.

The perceived surface quality in an artwork. You can see but not feel.

The consistent, orderly repetition of motifs, whether found in nature or created by an artist.

The actual surface quality of an artwork that you can feel

The arrangements of elements such as line, value, and form within an artwork.

The areas of an artwork not occupied by subject matter (background), but which contribute to the composition

A shape that is free-form or irregular; wiggly-woogley.

Dark and light values placed close together. Black in proximity to white creates the greatest.

A darker value of a hue, created by adding black or a darker complimentary color.

Colors created by mixing equal amounts of primary colors with neighboring secondary colors.

An energetic type of line that catches the movements of an active figure.

Having no easily seen hue; cannot be found on color wheel; 0 intensity.

The technique by which artists create the illusion of depth on a flat surface using lines.

An artist's representation of a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface (3D->2D)

Differences in elements such as color, texture, value, and shape.

The repetition of an element or elements in an inconsistent or unplanned way.

Result of pattern combined with implied movement; Much like beat in music but for the eyes.

An element of design that refers to the lightness or darkness of grays and colors.

Organization of parts of a composition so each side of a vertical axis is similar Not identical

A shape that can be defined precisely by mathematical coordinates and measurements (triangle).

A lighter value of a hue, created by adding white to the original hue.

Principle of art where the repetition of one more more elements.

Colors of values that are light tints, created by the use of white, such as in pastel colors.

The flat surface of a composition (canvas, paper, etc.).

An element of art that is two-dimensional (2D) and encloses area.

Colors or value that are dark shades, usually created by the use of black or gray.

The area of an artwork toward the eye is directed; the visual focal point of the work.

A line that defines the outer edge of a silhouette, or the line made by the edges of an object.
