What is the definition of low-relief as it relates to art?
A sculptural relief in which forms extend significantly from the background, and all figures are undercut (gaps or holes separating elements from the surface)
an element of art that refers to surface qualities of an artwork, such as roughness or smoothness
A sculptural relief in which forms extend only slightly from the background, and no figures are undercut (gaps or holes separating elements from the surface)
the ocean edge of an extensive coastal plain composed of unconsolidated marine and fluvial sediment
What is the definition of texture as it relates to art?
an element of art that refers to the difference among elements within a design -- variety of lines, shapes, forms, values, and colors
an element of art that refers to surface qualities of an artwork, such as roughness or smoothness
a principle of art that refers to how the tempo, melodic, and harmonic materials are combined in a musical composition
a principle of design that refers to creating dominance through the use of focal areas within an artwork
What is the definition of rhythm as it relates to art?
movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions
the simultaneous use of two or more rhythms that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another, or as simple manifestations of the same meter
an element of art that refers to surface qualities of an artwork, such as roughness or smoothness
the complex arrangement of elements within a work of art to generate large amounts of visual movement throughout the composition
What is the definition of contrast as it relates to art?
the use of constant alternating repetition of highly-contrasting elements to shift attention around the design
a sculptural relief in which forms extend only slightly from the background
a principle of design that refers to the differences among elements within a design
The technique of abruptly switching between very loud and very soft in a composition is generally a feature of Renaissance or early Baroque
What is the purpose of rhythm as it relates to art?
the complex arrangement of elements within an artwork to generate large amounts of visual movement throughout the composition
to encourage the viewer to explore and make it difficult to overly focus on any one area within the composition through overlapping and interconnected elements
a principle of design that refers to the differences among elements within a design
a wide variety of lines, shapes, forms, textures, values, and colors
How is good contrast best demonstrated as it relates to art?
good contrast shows a wide variety of lines, shapes, forms, textures, values, and colors
good contrast refers to the differences among elements within a design
good contrast is an area that has more visual weight than others within an artwork, drawing attention
good contrast is best demonstrated by throwing someone's artwork away because yours is far better
How is rhythm best demonstrated as it relates to art?
rhythm is best demonstrated by tapping your foot or snapping your finger while working on your art
rhythm is best demonstrated by singing a song as you paint or draw
best demonstrated through the use of constant alternating repetition of highly-contrasting elements to shift attention around the design
rhythm is best demonstrated by incorporating instruments or sheet music within your composition
What is the purpose of contrast as it relates to art?
to avoid overstimulating the viewer so as to not upset them
to keep things static and monotonous within the composition
to make your artwork look nice with your outfit
to keep things exciting throughout the composition
