Across
  1. 1. the art and science of designing and building structures, balancing aesthetic, functional, and technical considerations.
  2. 5. 1938. M.C. Escher. depicts a perpetual loop where a small man emerges from a house, runs down stairs, and dissolves into a geometric pattern. This pattern then transforms into a cube-like structure, which becomes terrace tiles, from which the man re-emerges to start the cycle again.
  3. 8. lines that are parallel to each other “in reality” but appear to vanish or converge to the same point in the distance
  4. 9. type of perspective that is a system of creating an illusion of depth on a flat surface. All parallel lines in a drawing or painting, using this system, converge to one or more vanishing points.
  5. 12. American Architect. Believed in designing in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater.
  6. 15. type of perspective that uses a single vanishing point
  7. 16. designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Known as “organic architecture.” Built partly over a waterfall. called "the best all-time work of American architecture".
  8. 17. type of perspective that uses more intense colors/sharp lines in the foreground and less intense colors/blurry lines in the background
  9. 18. Dutch Graphic Artist. His work features mathematical objects and operations including impossible objects, explorations of infinity, reflection, symmetry, perspective, truncated and stellated polyhedra, hyperbolic geometry, and tessellations, many of which were inspired by mathematics.
  10. 19. type of perspective that uses two vanishing points
  11. 20. the arrangement of repeating shapes, called tiles, that cover a surface with no gaps or overlaps. This can include simple geometric patterns like checkerboards or complex, interlocking designs like those by M.C. Escher, which feature animals, people, or other recognizable figures.

  1. 2. 1935. M.C. Escher. Lithograph. self-portrait where he holds a mirrored sphere. The reflection in the sphere shows a distorted image of Escher, his hand, and the room he is in, emphasizing the theme of reflection and perspective in his work.
  2. 3. lines that are always the same distance apart
  3. 4. The point in space which is supposed to appear the farthest from the viewer
  4. 6. a view from the ground of an object or place
  5. 7. (fish eye), giving a distorted view of a subject with a wide 180-degree angle.
  6. 10. a view from above an object or place
  7. 11. A lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher. It depicts a world in which the normal laws of gravity do not apply.
  8. 13. the actual height of the viewer's eyes when looking at an object, interior scene, or an exterior scene
  9. 14. the line that divides the sky from the land
