Across
- 1. – Brightness and purity of a color.
- 4. – From the geometric term radius, this occurs when objects, shapes and patterns radiate out of the center of an artwork.
- 7. – A volume that has, or gives the illusion of having weight, density or bulk. A kind of Form.
- 9. – Repeated arrangements of line, color, shape, etc.
- 10. – Brings attention to one particular part of the work. You can find this by asking yourself “where does my eye go first?”
- 12. the opposite of unity and should cause perceptual changes in the viewer as they explore an artwork. It is similar to emphasis but uses draws attention to multiple areas by different artistic techniques.
- 13. – A defined area having three dimensions (length, width and depth). This applies to both sculpture and paintings that have the illusion of form on a 2-D surface (paper, canvas, etc.).
- 14. - The space filled or enclosed by a three dimensional figure or object. This looks like the beams on a building before the walls go up. A kind of Form
- 16. – Creating a feeling of action through curved line, repetition, contour, etc.
- 18. - Similar to pattern, but with inexact repetition, like waves on water.
- 20. The tactile quality of a surface (rough, smooth, grainy, silky, metallic, etc), especially in sculpture. Paintings can have the illusion of this element.
- 21. The relative size between separate objects or the relationship of a subject/figure to its surroundings. If this principle is incorrect, the artwork will can look unusual. Often this is used in Surrealism to create bizarre or irrational juxtapositions.
- 24. – Using opposites to emphasize a design.
- 25. A point in motion or two-dimensional string that causes the eye to move through the artwork. They can be straight, curved, angular, thick, thin, etc.
Down
- 2. The area around and between objects.
- 3. A flat, defined two-dimensional area created when a line is closed. These can be geometric, organic, large, small, etc.
- 5. The area occupied by an object.
- 6. the relationship between the sizes of individual parts within an object, usually referring to the human body. Distorting this Principle can produce disturbing or humorous results.
- 8. A surface quality dependent on light absorption and reflection.
- 11. – Formal balance where one side is exactly the same as the other.
- 15. – also known as the “rule of thirds”, this is an informal balance where one side is “heavier” or more active than the other. This can be achieved using value, color, space, activity, depth, size or shape.
- 17. The degree of lightness or darkness in and area.
- 19. Name of the color.
- 22. – Also known as COMPOSITION, this adds stability to the artwork. This applies to sculpture, architecture, drawing painting, photography, etc. There are three types this Principle.
- 23. Combines separate parts and elements of an artwork so that they work together visually.
