| outline | Lines with little variation that describe the outer edges of shapes which appear flat. |
| hatching | Shading using closely spaced, parallel lines used to suggest light and shadow. |

| converging | Lines that represent the parallel edges of an object and meet at a vanishing point. |

| intermediate colors | Blue-Violet, Red-Orange, Blue-Green, Yellow-Green |
| spectrum | A rainbow is a large example. |
| split complement | A color scheme when one hue is combined with hues on either side of its complement. |
| Monochromatic | One color is modified by changing the values and saturation of the hue by additions of black and white. |
| Neutrals | Colors not associated with any hue such as black, white and gray and are neither warn or cool. |
| Analogous | Colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. |
| tint | A lighter value of a hue made by adding white. |
| secondary colors | Green, Purple and Orange |
| shade | A darker value of a hue made by adding black. |
| intermediate colors | Yellow-Green, Red-Orange |
| primary colors | Red, Yellow, and Blue |
| Intensity | The degree of purity, saturation or strength or a color. |
| value | An element of art concerned with the degree of light and dark. |
| complement | If a color is mixed with its _________the resulting color will be duller . |
| pigment | The coloring matter in inks, paints, and crayons. |
| shading | Use of lighter and darker grays to make a drawn form seem more three-dimensional. |
| Black | The result when light is totally absorbed. |
| opague | Does not allow light to pass through. |
| watercolor | A translucent medium that allows the paper to show. |
| collage | A two-dimensional composition made by gluing various materials such as paper, fabric, etc., on a flat surface. |
| relief | A type of sculpture in which forms project from a background. |
| acrylic | A synthetic painting medium in which pigments are mixed with a plastic emulsion that acts as a vehicle and a binder. |
| concave | Curving inward; negative areas. |
| convex | Curving outward; positive areas. |
| pastel | A chalky, colored crayon consisting of pigment and adhesive gum. |
| design | The plan the artist uses to organize the art elements. |
| triadic | Any three colors equidistant on the color wheel. |
| figure-ground | The perceptual tendency to divide visual patterns into two kinds of shapes with the figures appearing to be on top of and surrounded by the ground. |
| sculpture | Three-Dimensional forms created by carving, assembly or modeling. |
| reflects | An object is visible only to the extent that it_______light. |
| texture | Actual and implied are two types. |
| balance | A principle of design referring to the arrangement of visual elements to create stability in an artwork. |
| armature | A 2-liter bottle used for this in our sculpture project. |
| symmetrical balance | The organization of the parts of a composition so that one side duplicates or mirrors the other. |
| radial | Composition based on a circle. |
| geometric forms | cube, sphere, ellipsoid |
| organic form | an oak tree |
| variety | A principle of design concerned with the inclusion of differences in the elements of a composition to offset unity and make the work more interesting. |
| dominance | A concept of design which suggest that one element attracts more attention than anything else in a composition. |
| unity | A principle of design related to the sense of wholeness which results from the successful combination of the component elements of an artwork. |
