- 2. Principle of design concerned with the size relationships of one part to the whole and one part to another.
- 4. (or negative space): is the element of sculpture, which refers to emptiness or areas between, around, above, below or within objects.
- 6. A principle of art and design concerned with the arrangement of one or more elements in a work of art so that they appear symmetrical (identical compositional units on either side of an axis) or asymmetrical (not identical) in design and proportion.
- 7. Use of opposites near or beside one another (light and dark, rough and smooth).
- 10. Increasing or enlarging an object or figure or one of its parts to communicate ideas and feelings.
- 12. The arrangement of one or more of the elements used to create a feeling of completeness. Everything in the work seems to belong and contribute to the overall picture.
- 13. the Principle of design concerned that stresses one element or area in a work of art to make it attract the viewer’s attention first.
- 15. Light or dark; the variations of light and dark on the surface of an object. The lightness or darkness of a color.
- 18. An artist uses form as a vehicle for rendering a particular type of subject matter. The formal elements of a work consist of the groupings and combinations of shapes.
- 21. space, The illusion of space, whether three- or two-dimensional, created by an artist on the two-dimensional surface of the canvas or paper.
- 23. Unit repeated in visual rhythm. Units in a motif may or may not be an exact duplicate of the first unit.
- 24. light values of a color (adding white)
- 26. The difference in importance of one aspect in relation to all other aspects of design. What stands out most in a work of art.
- 27. Element of art derived from reflected light. The sensation of color is aroused in the brain by response of the eyes to different wavelengths of light. Color has three properties: hue, value, and intensity.
- 30. A balance achieved through the use of unequal parts or elements.
- 32. colors, red, orange, yellow.
- 33. The name of a color – red, blue, yellow, etc.

Down
- 1. A work of art is usually discussed in terms of its subject matter, form and content. Content refers to the intellectual, psychological, spiritual, narrative or aesthetic aspect of the work.
- 3. refers to the way things feel or look as though they might feel if they were touched.
- 5. Principle of design concerned with difference or contrast.
- 7. drawing, An outline that shows only the edge and not the volume or mass of an object. Sometimes called blind contour if the artists are not looking at their paper, only at their subject.
- 8. The specific material used by an artist, such as oil and brush; also, the vehicle used, such as sculpture, painting, or photography.
- 9. Brightness of a color.
- 11. point, The center of interest of an artwork; the part you look at first.
- 14. matter, The topic of interest or the primary theme of an artwork.
- 16. The arrangement of forms in a work of art.
- 17. Pigments ground in water and mixed with gum to form opaque watercolor. Gouache resembles school tempera paint or poster paint.
- 19. print, Printing technique that makes use of a squeegee to force ink directly onto a piece of paper or canvas through a stencil containing the image. (The process is also called silk-screen or serigraphy.)
- 20. colors, mostly green, blue, violet (purple).
- 22. Principal of design that repeats elements to create the illusion of movement. Visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes, and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces. Alternating rhythm is when the visual rhythm set up by repeating motifs but changing position or content of motifs or spaces between them. Flowing rhythm is created by repetition of wavy lines. Progressive rhythm is a visual rhythm that changes a motif each time it is repeated. Random rhythm is a repetition in no apparent order with no regular spaces. Regular rhythm is achieved through repeating identical motifs using the same intervals of space between them.
- 25. Arts Project, Government program established during the Depression to create jobs for American artists.
- 28. An identifiable path of a point moving in space. It can vary in width, direction, and length. Horizontal lines tend to create a sense of calm in a picture. Vertical lines tend to create a feeling of stability. Diagonal lines tend to create a feeling of dynamic movement.
- 29. Two-dimensional decorative visual repetition. A pattern has no movement and may or may not have rhythm.
- 31. The dark values of a color (adding black).
