Alexander Calder
Implied - Something that is suggested or
inferred, rather than directly apparent.
Mobile - A construction made of objects
that are balanced and arranged on wire
arms and suspended so as to move
freely.
Kinetic - Expressing movement. In art,
kinetic refers to sculpture that moves,
such as a mobile.
Repetition - The use of repetition to
create movement occurs when elements
which have something in common are
repeated.
Rhythm - The result of repetition which
leads the eye from one area to another.
Medium - The material or technique
used by an artist to produce a work of
art.
Composition- The plan, placement or arrangement of
the elements of art in a work.
Abstract art - Imagery which departs from
representational accuracy. Abstract artists select and
then exaggerate or simplify the forms suggested by the
world around them.
Organic - An irregular shape, or one that might be
found in nature, rather than a regular, mechanical shape.
Negative space - Empty space in an artwork, a void.
foreground - The area of a picture or field of vision,
often at the bottom, that appears to be closest to the
viewer. Also, to give priority to one aspect of a thing
over another.
middle ground - The part of an artwork that lies
between the foreground (nearest to the viewer) and the
background.
background - The part of a picture or scene that
appears to be farthest away from the viewer, usually
nearest the horizon. This is the opposite of the
foreground. Between background and foreground is the
middle ground
Collage: A form of art that uses
assemblage. A picture or design
created by adhering such basically
flat elements as newspaper,
wallpaper, printed text and
illustrations, photographs, cloth,
string, etc., to a flat surface.
("Collage" was originally a French
word, derived from the word coller,
meaning "to paste.”)
Leonardo DaVinci- One point perspective
Linear Perspective
A mathematical system for representing three-dimensional
objects and space on a two-dimensional surface by means
of intersecting lines that are drawn vertically and
horizontally and that radiate from one point (one-point
perspective).
Atmospheric Perspective - forms meant to be farther
away in the distance are blurred, become indistinct and
misty. The moisture and dirt in the air are the cause of
atmospheric perspective.
Horizon Line
In linear perspective, the implied or actual line used to
represent the place in nature where the sky meets the
horizontal land or water plane. The horizon line matches
the eye level on a two-dimensional surface. Lines or edges
parallel to the ground plane and moving away from the
viewer appear to converge at vanishing points on the
horizon line.
Vanishing Point
The point in linear perspective at which all imaginary
lines of perspective converge.
Converge- Come together from different directions so as
eventually to meet.
Orthogonal- The orthogonals in a painting appear to
converge on each other as they recede toward one or more
vanishing points on the horizon.
Parallel Lines- Two or more straight lines or edges on the
same plane that do not intersect. Parallel lines have the
same direction.
Space: One of the 7 elements of art. Real space is threedimensional. Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of
depth or three dimensions.
Shaun Tan: The Arrival
Illustrator: Among those in art careers, a
person who creates designs and pictures for
books, magazines, or other print or
electronic media. Specialties among
illustrators include fashion illustrator and
medical illustrator.
Graphic Novel: A fictional story that is
presented in comic-strip format and
published as a book.
Fiction: Written stories about people and
events that are not real. Literature that tells
stories which are imagined by the writer.
Immigrate: to come into a country of
which one is not a native for permanent
residence
Culture: the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a
particular society, group, place, or time
Heritage: The traditions, achievements,
beliefs, etc., that are part of the history of a
group or nation
Light: Either the sensation of light, a source of light, its illumination, the representation
of it in a work of art, or an awareness as if there were light on a subject. Light has been
important to visual artists, and has frequently become either the subject or the material
of artists' works.
Value: An element of art that refers to luminance or luminosity. The lightness or
darkness of a color.
Tint: A soft and light value. One to which white has been added.
Shade: A color to which black or another dark hue has been added to make it darker
value.
Monochromatic: Consisting of only a single color or hue; may include its tints and
shades.
Gradation: A gradual, step-by-step change from dark to light values, or one color to
another. As a principle of design, it refers to any way of combining elements of art by
using a series of gradual changes in those elements.
Shading: Showing change from light to dark or dark to light in a picture by darkening
areas that would be shadowed and leaving other areas light. Blending of one value into
another is sometimes called feathering. Shading is often used to produce illusions of
dimension and depth.
