Across
  1. 3. The perceived surface quality of a work of art. It may be perceived physically, through the sense of touch, or visually, or both. A person's experience of texture in visual art relies on their experience with the physical world
  2. 6. Simulates realistic painting techniques such as mixing colors on the canvas, combining colors on a brush, and varying paint wetness across a stroke
  3. 8. The differences between tones and colors that make up an image. Contrast is the degree of difference between two colors or between the lightest lights and darkest darks in an image
  4. 11. An optical instrument that captures a visual image. At a basic level, cameras consist of sealed boxes, with a small hole that allows light through to capture an image on a light-sensitive surface. Cameras have various mechanisms to control how the light falls onto the light-sensitive surface
  5. 13. A photo, sketch, or artwork on which the work you are creating is directly or indirectly based. Using references is the practice of discovering information in a photo and/or real-world object, person, or location. This information is used to give the artist a better understanding of their subject and create a stronger sense of believability in the art that is being created.
  6. 16. A point of interest that makes a work of art unique. In photographic terms, a focal point can broadly be seen as a photographer's point of view. Think, for a moment, about how drastically different a photo can become depending upon what you choose to focus on.
  7. 19. A technique used to clean up your "sketch" and clearly define the inner and outer edges of a drawing
  8. 20. A smeared mark on the surface. This technique can be used to blend colors in Photoshop
  9. 21. Using repeating shapes or a repetitive pattern inside the frame as part of the composition. Repetition can also be the image's main subject instead of just being a tool for photography composition
  10. 23. The art of capturing light with a camera, usually via a digital sensor or film, to create an image
  11. 26. The speed at which the shutter of the camera closes. A fast shutter speed creates a shorter exposure — the amount of light the camera takes in — and a slow shutter speed gives the photographer a longer exposure
  12. 28. Lines that appear in a photograph that have been framed and positioned by the photographer to draw the viewer's eye towards a specific point of interest. These lines often draw the viewer's eye in a specific direction or towards a designated portion of the photograph
Down
  1. 1. Relates to the meaning of an artwork, rather than the subject, which is specific and basic. A theme is deeper and broader and conveys something more universal. Mood is the atmosphere in a painting, or the feeling expressed
  2. 2. A rough drawing representing the chief features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study or a tentative draft
  3. 4. A composition guideline that places your subject in the left or right third of an image, leaving the other two thirds more open
  4. 5. The position the camera is in when viewing and capturing an image. Typically referred to as birds eye view, worms eye view, or eye level
  5. 7. how a photographer arranges visual elements within their frame. The photographer positions the objects in the frame in such a way that the viewer’s eye is automatically drawn to the most interesting or significant area of the capture
  6. 9. How much of your image is in focus. In more technical terms, depth of field is the distance in an image where objects appear “acceptably in focus” or have a level of “acceptable sharpness.”
  7. 10. The opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. It controls your depth of field and partly determines the exposure (how light your photo is going to be) of your photograph
  8. 12. Describes the range of light in your image. Altering the light in a photo is how you create contrast
  9. 14. A technique in Photoshop that can make part of a layer visible and part invisible. The main advantage to using Layer Masks is they can be changed at any time – they are “non-destructive”, meaning they will never destroy image pixels
  10. 15. Technique that uses colors present in an image to select a color palette for future works. In digital art, we use the word palette to indicate a range of colors. It is a limited selection from all colors available.
  11. 17. A combination of several shots joined together for artistic effect or to show more of the subject than can be shown in a single artwork. Originally, images were composed by cutting, gluing, arranging and overlapping two or more photos or reproductions of photos together, sometimes in combination with other non-photographic material such as text or other abstract shapes
  12. 18. Tools to clean up or retouch your photos, apply special art effects that give your image the appearance of a sketch or impressionistic painting, or create unique transformations using distortions and lighting effects
  13. 22. A group of a super useful, non-destructive image editing tools that add color and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing its pixels. With the adjustment layers, you can edit and discard your adjustments or restore your original image at any time
  14. 24. Color applied to a specific area or all-over before a dimensional/creative color technique is added
  15. 25. The area around, above, and within an object
  16. 27. To make or become unclear or less distinct. It can be used to soften an image in specific areas or to obscure details in an image
