The variable opening in a camera lens through which light enters to expose the

film. This also effects the depth of field and is measured in f-stops.

The distance in front of and behind the point where the lens is focused that will be

sharp in the finished picture.

Determines how sensitive the camera is to

light. The lower the number, the less sensitive it is to light. The higher the number,

the more sensitive it is to light

How quickly your shutter opens and shuts during an exposure, letting light in to

take the photograph.

The number that indicates the size of the aperture opening in the lens, allowing

more or less light. Small numbers are larger apertures and large numbers are

smaller apertures.

How light or dark an image is. It is controlled through aperture, shutter

speed, and ISO.

How your digital camera will save an image to it’s memory. JPEG, TIFF, and RAW

are the most common.

The detail that an image displays. The higher this, the more image detail.

Through the use of a winding shaped line, the largest curve is commonly used to bring focus to a particular object, while the “S” guides the viewer’s eyes through the composition.

Artworks made up of these lines are used to accentuate the focal point by creating a tense and dynamic composition.

A guideline used concerning the placement of objects when creating an interesting composition. Dividing the image into a grid, it contains nine equally proportioned boxes. Points of interest should be placed near the intersecting lines. This will help draw the viewer’s eyes throughout the composition.

Through the use of a continuous curved line which gradually moves away from its center, the viewer’s eyes are guided around the composition.

The creation of a focal point in an artwork. Draws the viewer’s eye to particular areas of the artwork.

The distribution of visual weight in an artwork.

The three types are

symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial.

Perceived by the way light reflects off a surface. 3 properties: hue, intensity, and value.

A path made by a moving point through space. One-dimensional. Can vary in width, direction, and length.

A guideline which proposes that an image is more appealing when there is an odd number of objects within a composition.

By using multiple objects or clustered shapes, weight is added to the composition and are often the focal point of the artwork.

A compositional technique used to tie specific elements together in a circular fashion - literal or implied.

A technique used by placing a larger object closer to the center of the composition, with a small object placed further from center. This technique is frequently found in landscapes.

By dividing the composition into two unequal parts, (horizontal or vertical) an object is included perpendicular to the dividing line, creating an “L” shape. This technique is commonly found in landscapes.

The lightness or darkness of a surface.

Regularly repeated elements such as shape or color.

The surface quality of an object. Includes both actual and implied.

The regular repetition of elements such as line, shape, and form to create interest and consistency.

How the eye travels through an artwork. It can lead the viewer from one aspect to another within a composition.

Creates the illusion of depth within an artwork. It can refer to the positive and negative space between, around, or within objects.
