Across
- 2. Another term for intermediate colors.
- 4. An image that persists after the visual stimulus that first produced it has ceased.
- 8. A pattern of closely spaced dots or small marks used to create a sense of three-dimensionality on a flat surface, especially in drawing and printmaking.
- 10. Having only one color. Descriptive work in which one hue-perhaps with variations of value and intensity- predominates.
- 15. Italian for "light/dark". In two-dimensional, representational art, the technique of using values to record light and shadow, especially as they provide information about three-dimensional form.
- 16. Shape that is perceived as the background shape in a figure-ground relationship.
- 17. A two-dimensional area having identifiable boundaries, created by lines, color or value changes, or some combination of these.
- 22. The range of colors used by an artist or group of artists, either generally or in a specific work.
- 23. Three-dimensional form, often implying bulk, density, and weight.
- 29. The relative purity or brightness of a color. Also called chroma or intensity.
- 30. A color scheme based in three hues equidistant from one another on the color wheel, such as yellow-orange, blue-green, and red-violet.
- 31. Lines that are suggested by changes in color, tone and texture or by the edges of shapes.
- 32. The "family name" of a color, independent of its particular vale or saturation.
- 37. The literal surface of a painting imagined as a window, so that objects depicted in depth are spoken of as behind or receding, and objects in the extreme foreground are spoken of as up against.
- 38. Range of colors used by an artist limited to a few colors and their mixtures, tints, and shades.
- 40. A color darker than a hue's normal value.
- 41. Shape that is perceived as dominant in a figure-ground relationship.
- 42. Having to do with motion, incorporates real or apparent movement.
- 43. The relative purity or brightness of a color. Also called chroma or saturation.
- 44. The visual phenomenon whereby an elongated object projecting toward or away from a viewer appears shorter than its actual length, as though compressed.
- 45. A painting or some other two-dimensional work in which the subject matter is an arrangement of objects-fruit, flowers, tableware, pottery, and so forth- brought together for their pleasing contrasts of shape, color, and texture. Also, the arrangement of objects itself.
- 46. In linear perspective, the point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to converge.
- 48. A circular arrangement of hues used to illustrate a particular color theory or system.
- 49. A hue that, in theory, cannot be created by a mixture of other hues.
Down
- 1. Colors ranged along the orange curve of the color wheel, from red through yellow.
- 3. Range of colors used by an artist in which all colors are permitted.
- 5. A color lighter than a hue's normal value.
- 6. A quasi-scientific painting technique of the late 19th century, developed and promulgated by Georges Seurat and his followers, in which pure colors were applied in regular, small touches that blended through optical color mixture when viewed at a certain distance.
- 7. A hue created by combining two primary colors.
- 9. A system for portraying the visual impression of three-dimensional space and objects in it on a two-dimensional surface. Based on the observation that parallel lines appear to converge as they recede from the viewer.
- 11. lines used to indicate these perceived edges in two-dimensional art.
- 12. The juxtaposition of hues that contain the same color in differing proportions, such as red-violet, pink and yellow-orange, all which contain red.
- 13. Layers of hatching superimposed, with each new layer set at an angle to the one(s) beneath to achieve darker values.
- 14. In figurative drawing, painting, and printmaking, simulating the effects of light and shadow to portray optically convincing masses.
- 18. The relative lightness or darkness of a hue, or of a neutral varying from white to black.
- 19. The tendency of the eyes to blend patches of individual colors placed near one another so as to perceive a different, combined color.
- 20. The relative purity or brightness of a color. Also called intensity or saturation.
- 21. Based on the observation that distant objects appear less distinct, paler, and bluer than nearby objects because of the way moisture in the intervening atmosphere scatters light.
- 24. Uses diagonal lines to convey recession, but parallel lines do not converge. It is principally used in Asian art, which is not based in a fixed viewpoint.
- 25. Closely spaced parallel lines that mix optically to suggest values. A linear technique for modeling forms according to the principles of chiaroscuro.
- 26. A system for portraying the visual impression of three-dimensional space and objects in it on a two-dimensional surface.
- 27. Colors ranged along the blue curve of the color wheel, from green through violet.
- 28. The perceptual phenomenon whereby complementary colors appear most brilliant when set side by side.
- 33. Hues that intensify each other when juxtaposed and dull each other when mixed (as pigment). On a color wheel, situated directly opposite each other.
- 34. Colors made by mixing a primary color with a secondary color adjacent to it on the color wheel. Also known as tertiary colors.
- 35. Shapes of the ground in a figure-ground relationship.
- 36. The bending of a ray of light, for example, when it passes through a prism.
- 39. A mark that forms part of the formal design of a picture.
- 47. Figure shapes in a figure-ground relationship.
