Indicates a position in space.

A point extended becomes a line. Conceptually , a line has length, but no width or depth. Whereas a point is by nature, static. A line can describe a path from a point in motion, it is capable of visually expressing direction, movement and growth.

Vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines has their own character or visual representation

Sawtooth, zig-zag, patterns, motifs of sharp corners and peaks of lines.

From point to line, and lines to planes. An enclosed segments/ components of lines forms planes and shapes

Lines with a particular line weight/width of thick or thin. Mostly used for graphical representations.

Lines directed towards a vanishing point gives us visual sense of an illusion of depth.

A system of rules and guidance for mixing various colors in order to: - create aesthetically Pleasing Blends - produce maximum readability and clarity - Draw on cultural association to effect meaning.

Color is...

Colors that cannot be created by mixing other colors. Building block for all the other colors.

Colors made by mixing primary colors

Colors that mix primary and secondary colors.

Colors that are opposite from one another on the color wheel

Noticeable level of difference between two colors.

Colors positioned next to each other on the color wheel.

Light that occurs naturally without the involvement of humans. Direct or indirect illumination is provided but not limited to the sun or daylight.

These are man-made illuminants that harnesses its energy and light source from electricity, gas, or heat (luminescent, gas discharge, and incandescent).

It is an electromagnetic range that is radiation (Non-visible/Visible Energy, Frequencies, .

Energy that is transferred by electromagnetic radiation.

The human eye can only detect ________ spectrum or wavelengths from 380 to 700 (NASA, 2010).

Power emitted, transmitted, or received in the form of radiation.

Radiant flux falling on or striking a material.

The process whereby radiant energy passes through a material or object. When light can go through essentially unchanged that is also a process whereby radiant energy passes through a material bor object.

The ratio of the transmitted radiant flux to the incident radiant flux under specified geometric and spectral conditions.

The transformation of radiant energy to a different form of energy by interaction with matter.

The ratio of the absorbed radiant flux to the incident radiant flux.

The process by which radiant energy is returned from a material or object.

Ratio of the reflected radiant flux to the incident radiant flux in the given conditions

Ratio of the radiant flux reflected from the specimen to the radiant flux reflected from the perfect reflecting diffuser under the same geometric and spectral conditions of measurement.

Reflection that excludes diffuse reflection, as in a mirror.

Reflection that excludes specular (mirror) reflection.

Emission of light ascribable to nonthermal excitation.

Luminescence produced by the absorption of light (excitation); distinguished from ordinary reflection by a time delay and, usually, a shift toward longer wavelengths.

Photoluminescence that continues after excitation ceases.

Phosphorescence that ceases when excitation ceases.

Having an appearance that is independent of illuminating and viewing geometry.

Having an appearance that is dependent on illuminating and viewing geometry.

A physical process that of applying dyes to textiles or incorporating, by dispersion, pigments into paintings, inks, and plastics, etc.

Dyes and pigments are used in the process of coloring materials.

It is the result of the physical modification of light by colorants as detected by the human eye and interpreted in the brain.

The radiant flux incident per unit area

Radiant flux in a beam, emanating from a surface, or falling on a surface, in at a given direction, per unit of projected area of the surface as viewed from that direction, per unit of solid angle.

Greek word meaning light

Greek word meaning write

One common hue not found in the color spectrum

When two spectra of monochromatic light look the same.

When light can go through, but the material color causes a change.

When light can go through, but the quality of light diffuses due to the surface or finish of the material.

Light may be scattered when it interacts with matter

Surfaces will vary between mirrors and perfect reflecting diffusers where light is scattered in all direction equally.

It is the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.

Ingredients of art or building blocks

Building methods or procedures in art

Based on the idea that the human brain will attempt to simplify and organize complex images or designs that consist of many elements, by subconsciously arranging the parts into an organized system that creates a whole, rather than just a series of disparate elements.

Gestalt Principles

Gestalt principle: It’s human nature to group like things together. In gestalt, similar elements are visually grouped, regardless of their proximity to each other. They can be grouped by color, shape, or size.

Gestalt Principle: Posits that the human eye will follow the smoothest path when viewing lines, regardless of how the lines were actually drawn.

Gestalt principle: It’s the idea that your brain will fill in the missing parts of a design or image to create a whole.

Gestalt principle: Refers to how close elements are to one another.

Gestalt principle: similar to the closure principle in that it takes advantage of the way the brain processes negative space.

Gestalt principle: What this principle says is that your brain will perceive ambiguous shapes in as simple a manner as possible.

Elements of art:

Principles of design:

Stability, equal, organization of elements

2 types of Balance:

Principles of design: Pattern Similar w/ quantity Ingoing sequence

Principles of design: Repetition with variation Sense of movement Flowing sequence

Principles of design: Focal point, hierarchy

Principles of design: Supporting elements

Principles of design: Comparison Numbers/amount Portioning elements

Principles of design: Determined by- positioning scale, light and shadow, overlaying of elements, texture, volume, orthographic presentation

Depth cues that require only one eye

Depth cues that requires both eyes
