Art Theory

2. The size relationship between different parts of an object or between different objects in a scene.
4. How an artist arranges elements so the artwork feels stable and equal in weight.
5. When all the elements in an artwork work together to make it feel complete and "whole".
7. The area around or between objects that creates the illusion of distance.
10. Using very different elements next to each other, like black next to white, to make them stand out.
11. A flat, 2D area created when a line meets itself; for example, a circle.
12. This element describes how a surface feels to the touch, like rough or smooth.
14. Repeating elements to create a "visual beat" or a sense of movement in the design.

1. An object that looks 3D because it has height, width, and depth.
3. Produced when light reflects off an object; it can be primary or secondary.
6. Using different shapes, colours, or textures to keep the artwork interesting and not boring.
8. Making one specific part of an artwork the main focus to catch the viewer's eye.
9. A mark made by a moving point; it can be straight, wavy, or zig-zag.
13. The lightness or darkness of a colour, often used to create a shadow.
