Chapter 2

1. The intensity or purity of a color.
4. The use of different elements to create interest.
5. Balance Elements arranged around a central point.
7. The area around, between, or within objects, including positive (subject) and negative (background) space.
9. A painting technique where thick layers of paint create a tactile, textured surface.
12. and Movement The repetition of elements to create a sense of flow or direction, guiding the viewer's eye.
16. and Repetition The repeated use of elements, such as shapes, lines, or colors, to create consistency, rhythm, or visual interest.
18. The creation of a focal point to draw attention to the most important part of a composition.
20. Perspective A technique that uses color and value to create the illusion of depth by simulating the effect of atmosphere on distant objects.
21. The difference between elements, such as light versus dark, rough versus smooth, or large versus small, to create visual interest.
22. Colors Colors opposite each other on the color wheel that create strong contrast when paired.
24. The visual perception of light reflecting off objects, defined by hue, value, and saturation.
26. Perspective A technique that uses converging lines to create the illusion of depth in a two-dimensional composition.
27. The name of a color (e.g., red, blue).

1. A two-dimensional, enclosed area created by lines, edges, or contrasts in color or texture.
2. The surface quality of an object, which can be real (physical) or implied (visual).
3. Colors Colors next to each other on the color wheel that are related in hue and create harmony.
6. Balance Unequal but visually balanced sides.
8. A technique that contrasts light and dark to create depth and drama in a composition.
10. The relationship between the sizes of elements within a composition.
11. The size of an object in relation to the overall composition or viewer.
13. A continuous mark with greater length than width, used to create shapes, forms, and textures.
14. Temperature The warmth (reds, oranges) or coolness (blues, greens) of a color.
15. The sense of harmony and cohesion between all parts of a composition.
17. The distribution of visual weight in a composition to create stability.
19. Balance Equal or mirrored sides of a composition.
23. A three-dimensional object or the illusion of three dimensions in a two-dimensional space.
25. The lightness or darkness of a color or area, used to create depth, contrast, and emphasis.
