  1. 2. the skillful arrangement of fabric, cloth, or clothing into graceful folds to create texture, volume, and depth in a composition
  2. 5. what makes a piece captivating and keeps your eyes engaged, rather than boring
  3. 10. In art history, a ________ is a large-scale, full-size preparation drawing for a painting. Artists used these type of drawings to plan and transfer their designs onto the final painting surface.
  4. 11. ______ ________ refers to the thickness or thinness of a line.
  5. 12. a flat, two-dimensional area that is defined by a clear outline or edges, or by a change in color or value. It is one of the fundamental elements of art.
  6. 15. a technique of outlining a subject without looking at the paper, focusing solely on observing the subject
  7. 16. An _________ line is a suggested, or "invisible," path of motion within an artwork, not a physically drawn line, that guides the viewer's eye from one element to another
  8. 18. ________ _______ is the main subject or areas of interest within a composition, such as a figure, object, or form
  9. 19. a technique where an artist copies and analyzes a work by a master artist to understand their techniques, composition, and creative process, with the goal of improving their own skills and expanding their artistic knowledge
  10. 21. an element of art that refers to the area around, between, and within objects or forms. It can be real, as in sculpture, or implied, as in a painting.
  11. 23. ________-________ lines are drawing techniques that use lines to show the volume, form, and topography of an object by flowing over its surface, rather than just outlining its edges.
  12. 25. a temporary, flexible adhesive that allows for repositioning or removal without damaging the paper
  13. 27. a closed two-dimensional geometric shape made of straight lines that connect to make a closed shape

  1. 1. the deliberate arrangement of visual elements to guide the viewer's eye through an artwork in a specific order of importance.
  2. 3. a sacred, circular art form and spiritual symbol, meaning “circle” in Sanskrit, that represents the cosmos, unity, and wholeness
  3. 4. ________ _______ refers to the empty or unoccupied areas in an artwork that surround and are between the subject(s)
  4. 5. a single point on the horizon line where parallel lines in a scene appear to converge, creating the illusion of depth and three-dimensional space on a flat surface
  5. 6. _________ shapes are irregular, flowing, and free-form shapes found in nature, like soft curves, asymmetry, and a lack of precise edges or angles, unlike man-made geometric shapes like squares and triangles.
  6. 7. _________ shapes are regular, mathematically defined forms with clear edges and boundaries, such as triangles, squares, circles, and polygons.
  7. 8. A type of line that defines the edge or outline of a shape or form, creating a sense of volume and three-dimensionality
  8. 9. a line that follows the outline and edges of a subject's form, emphasizing its shape and structure without necessarily adding internal details like shading or texture,the use of one continuous, unbroken line that defines the form
  9. 13. a technique that uses converging parallel lines to create the illusion of depth and space on a flat surface, making objects appear smaller and closer together as they recede into the distance
  10. 14. a colored liquid or paste used for drawing, painting, and printmaking
  11. 17. a continuous mark made by a moving point in space, the first fundamental element of art It is one-dimensional and can vary in thickness, direction, and length, serving to define shapes, suggest movement, and guide the viewer's eye.
  12. 20. a thin, translucent paper designed for transferring images by allowing an underlying image to be seen through it, enabling artists to copy, refine, or transfer a sketch without altering the original artwork
  13. 22. a __________ line is a tool consisting of a weight suspended from a string, used to establish a true vertical reference line by the force of gravity
  14. 24. a tool used to copy an image or design from one surface to another, acting as a bridge for details and accuracy
  15. 26. a small, quick, and rough initial sketch used to explore ideas, composition, and layout before working on a larger surface and with more detail
