Across
- 3. a point moving in space where its length is greater than its width. Lines can be two or three dimensional, implied or abstract. Different types of lines include continuous, broken, jagged, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Lines are the foundation of drawing.
- 6. refers to the dimensions of a composition and relationships between height, width and depth. Proportion also describes how the sizes of different parts of a piece of art or design relate to each other.
- 7. used to attract a viewer's attention to the focal point, or main subject, of an artwork. For example, in a portrait the artist usually wants you to see the subject's face first, so the artist will use color, contrast, and placement to direct where your eye is attracted.
- 9. is achieved when opposite elements are arranged together. Although these elements might be opposites, their arrangement can still be appealing. The contrast in art might even be considered the golden rule of art.
- 10. how light or dark a given color or hue can be. Values are best understood when visualized as a scale or gradient, from dark to light.
- 11. the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light.
- 13. the look and feel of a surface or the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It may be perceived physically, through the sense of touch, or visually, or both. Our experience of texture in visual art relies on our experience with the physical world.

- 1. a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, colors or an area enclosed by other shapes such as triangles, circles, and squares.
- 2. refers to how different elements of an artwork or design work come together and create a sense of wholeness. It can be achieved through proximity, simplicity, repetition and continuation.
- 4. is the area around, above, and within an object. With consideration to drawings and paintings, our goal is to create the illusion of space.
- 5. the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable.
- 8. a design in which lines, shapes, forms or colors are repeated. The part that is repeated is called a motif. Patterns can be regular or irregular.
- 10. - refers to how artists and designers add complexity to their work using visual elements. Contrast, difference and change, and elaboration all add visual interest to an artist's work.
- 12. the way that a shape or physical configuration occupies space. For a three-dimensional work of art like a sculpture or work of architecture, form is the shape, structure, and arrangement of components like length, width, and depth of a shape.
