Vocabulary

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE FEW DEFINITIONS PROVIDED ARE ONLY A STARTING POINT DESIGNED TO HELP THOSE WHO WERE NOT PRESENT FOR A LECTURE. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE CONCEPT IS USED IN YOUR WORK AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT WITH DETAIL. PLEASE RESEARCH ALL THE CONCEPTS EXTENSIVELY.

 

Value: An element of art that refers to the relative darkness or lightness of an area. (flat shapes =    1 value, curved shapes = constant change of values)

Shading (lighting)

http://www.artinstructionblog.com/drawing-lesson-a-theory-of-light-and-shade

 

Light Source: The direction from which a dominant light originates. The placement of this light source affects every aspect of a drawing.

High Light: The area on a form that reflects the most light.

Form Shadow: The areas on an object that receive little or no light.

Cast Shadow: The dark area on an adjacent surface where the light is blocked by the solid object.

Contrast: Refers to how extreme the difference in values is.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons-6.asp

Layer: A technique in which art media are used over one another.

 

Composition: Is the arrangement or organization of visual elements, such as lines, shapes, spaces, values and colors in a work of art.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons.asp

Unity: When the different shapes and spaces feel like they belong together.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons-9.asp

Emphasis: Is the main part of the artwork your eyes are drawn to.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons-4.asp

Movement: When the viewer is able to easily appreciate the whole artwork because of a successful composition.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons-3.asp

Balance: Principal of art that arranges elements in a work of art so they seem to be “weighted” evenly throughout.
http://www.bluemoonwebdesign.com/art-lessons-2.asp

Symmetrical: A balance arrangement in which the parts of a composition are organized so that one side duplicates or mirrors the other.

Asymmetrical: A feeling of balance attained when the visual units on either side of a vertical axis are actually different but are placed in the composition to create a “felt” balance.

Positive Space: The main part of an artwork.  

Negative Space: The area that surrounds or grounds the main artwork.  Helpful to observe for accuracy.

Overlapping: Placing one object in front of another or a combination of both. 

 

Linear Perspective: A technique of creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface with the use of lines.

One Point Perspective: Perspective in which all parallel lines converge at a single point on the horizon line.

Two Point Perspective
http://www.coolschool.k12.or.us/courses/116200/lessons/11/index.php

            http://www.slideshare.net/jgammill/two-point-perspective

 

Vanishing Point: The point on the horizon line at which all the receding parallel lines converge.

Guide Lines: Are invisible lines that guide the viewer towards the vanishing point. 

Horizon: Also known as the “eye level line.” Is the line at which sky and earth meet.

Point of View: A position from which someone or something is observed

Plane

Texture

Pattern

Grid:     A technique that allows you to enlarge an artwork with the use of intersecting vertical and horizontal lines.
http://maramattiaart.blogspot.com/2008/11/lesson-6-draw-face-using-grid-method_25.html

Stippling:   To shade with the use of dots or points.  The eye mixes the dots. Alternate dark and light areas created the illusion of various shades of value.
