A VOCABULARY FOR DISCUSSING ART\n\nTHE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN  \nline:the path of a point that moves through space.Line can be described in terms ofwidth,direction,movement,length,curvature,and even color.  \nshape:a distinct spatial form depicted in two dimensions and created by lines or achange in color,shading,or materials.  \nform:a unit in an artwork that is defined or set apart by a definite contour;sometimesused synonymously with shape,or used to refer to a shape that is depicted in threerather than two dimensions.  \nspace:the visual or actual area within and around shapes and forms.Positive spacedefines the contents of a shape or form,and is bound by edges or surfaces.Negativespace refers to the \"empty\"area surrounding a shape or form,and also helps to definethe boundaries of a shape or form.  \ntexture:the look and feel of a surface,which may be described in such terms as rough,smooth,hard,soft,scratchy,silky,fine,coarse,and so on.  \ncolor:the hue,value,and intensity of an object.The primary colors are red,yellow,andblue;every color except white can be created from various blending of these threecolors.  \nvalue:the relative lightness or darkness of tones or colors.For example,white andyellow have a light value;black and violet have a dark value.  \nbalance:the arrangement of elements in a work of art in one of three ways:perfectsymmetry(formal balance),in which every element in the work is perfectly balancedagainst every other element;asymmetry(informal balance),in which there is noone-to-one,even correspondence of elements;and radial(from the center)in whichelements are balanced around a center,as in a circular mandala design.  \nvariety:the assortment of lines,colors,forms,shapes,or textures in a work of art.  \nrhythm(movement):regular repetition of lines,shapes,colors,or patterns in a work ofart.  \nemphasis:the accent,stress,or importance of a part of an artwork.Opposing sizes,shapes,and lines,contrasting colors,closer detail,and intense,bright color are all usedto emphasize,or draw attention to,certain areas or objects in a work of art.  \nproportion:the relationship of the distance of objects in a composition,as in,forexample,close up and far away;the relationship of the size of one part to another or tothe whole.  \ncontrast:significant degrees of difference between lines,colors,shapes,values,forms,and/or textures.  \nunity:the interrelation,balance,and organization of all elements of an artwork toachieve a quality of oneness,or a pleasing sense.(Note:a composition can bepleasingly exciting,pleasingly disturbing,pleasingly tranquil and so on)  \nART GLOSSARY  \nabstract:style of art in which shapes,designs,textures,and colors are presented in away that may look unrealistic but that emphasizes moods or feelings.Abstract art ischaracterized by the use of geometric lines and shapes and bold,bright colors.  \naesthetic:pertaining to the artistic and beautiful;a perception that something pleasesthe eye.  \narch:curved structure over an opening such as a door or window.An arch may eitherstand alone or support the walls around the opening.  \nassemblage:art made by combining a collection of three-dimensional objects into awhole.It can either be a free-standing sculpture or be mounted on a panel,and it isusually made from scraps,junk,or various manufactured or natural objects.  \natmospheric perspective:way of showing depth and distance in a painting by usingfading colors and hazy details to indicate objects in the distance.  \nbackground:parts of an artwork that lie in the distance and appear to be behindobjects in the foreground.  \nbronze:mixture of copper,tin,and other metals often used in cast sculptures becauseit is very strong and hard.  \ncalligraphy:artful form of writing letters or words with brushes or pens,originated bythe Chinese.  \ncaricature:picture in which a person's distinctive features,such as nose,ears,ormouth,are distorted or exaggerated.  \ncarving:technique for making sculpture by cutting away unwanted parts;a
