16
Q

Also known as freeform or irregular shapes, organic shapes are naturally occurring and often lack defined edges or angles.

A

ORGANIC SHAPES

17
Q

This technique involves using converging lines to create the illusion of depth and distance.

A

LINEAR PERSPECTIVE

18
Q

By placing objects in front of one another, artists can create the illusion of depth.

19
Q

This technique mimics the way distant objects appear less distinct and lighter in color due to atmospheric haze.

A

ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE

20
Q

The brightest area in a composition where light directly hits an object.

21
Q

The middle range of values between the highlights and shadows.

22
Q

The darkest areas in a composition where light is blocked or absorbed by an object.

23
Q

This refers to the physical texture that can be felt or touched, such as the roughness of canvas, the smoothness of glass, or the raised surface of a sculpture.

A

ACTUAL TEXTURE

24
Q

this type of texture is created through artistic techniques such as shading, brushstrokes, or patterns to give the illusion of texture without being physically present.

A

IMPLIED TEXTURE

25
are precise and regular shapes that can be defined by mathematical equations.
GEOMETRIC FORM
26
are irregular and asymmetrical  shapes that are found in nature.
ORGANIC FORM
27
refers to the distribution of visual weight within a composition
BALANCE
28
the principle of creating a sense of cohesion and completeness within a composition. 
HARMONY
29
refers to the relative size, scale, and ratio of elements within a composition.
PROPORTION
30
is the principle of drawing attention to a specific area or element within a composition. 
EMPHASIS
31
refers to a way of combining visual elements to achieve intricate and complex relationships. 
VARIETY
32
refers to the visual flow or sense of motion created within a composition.
MOVEMENT
33
the repetition and variation of visual elements to create a sense of movement and continuity within a composition.
RHYTHM
