4. You will see
this Chart and
Goal Pyramid
at the start of
every lecture
to remind you
of where you
are in relation
to the 4
stages of
composition

5. composition is the placement or
arrangement of visual elements or
ingredients in a work of art, as
distinct from the subject of a
work. It can also be thought of as
the organization of the elements
of art according to the principles
of art.

7. Lines and curves are marks that
span a distance between two
points (or the path of a moving
point). As an art element, line
pertains to the use of various
marks, outlines and implied lines in
artwork and design. A line has a
width, direction, and length

8. Shape is the form of an object
or its external boundary,
outline, or external surface, as
opposed to other properties
such as color, texture, or
material composition

9. Form is the geometric
information which remains
when location, scale,
orientation and reflection are
removed from the
description of a geometric
object

10. Contrast is a principle of art.
When defining it, art experts
refer to the arrangement of
opposite elements (light vs. dark
colors, rough vs. smooth
textures, large vs. small shapes,
etc.) in a piece so as to create
visual interest, excitement and
drama.

11. Positive Space is the area or
part of a painting's
composition that the
subject occupies

12. Negative Space Is the area
or part of a painting's
composition that the
subject does not occupy.

13. Balance is arranging elements so
that no one part of a work
overpowers, or seems heavier
than any other part. The three
different kinds of balance are
symmetrical, asymmetrical, and
radial. Symmetrical (or formal)
balance is the most stable, in a
visual sense.

14. A balance maintained in an
artistic work between
opposing forces or
elements; a controlled
dramatic or dynamic quality

15. The property possessed
by an object of producing
different sensations on
the eye as a result of the
way the object reflects or
emits light.

16. The attribute of a color by
virtue of which it is
discernible as red, green,
etc., and which is dependent
on its dominant wavelength,
and independent of intensity
or lightness.

17. Chroma is defined purity or intensity of color

18. defines the brilliance and intensity of a color

19. Simultaneous contrast refers to the way
in which two different elements (color,
value texture) of the same visual
category (color vs color, value vs value)
affect each other, how one element can
change how we perceive the other when
placed side by side
