Visual Arts - The creation of art forms that are primarily visual in nature, such as painting, sculpture, photography, and printmaking.
Elements of Visual Arts - The basic components that make up visual art, including color, shape, line, texture, form, and space.
Color Wheel - A circular diagram that shows the relationships between colors, typically divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary colors.
Primary Colors - The three colors, red, yellow, and blue, that are fundamental and cannot be created by mixing other colors.
Secondary Colors - Colors produced by mixing two primary colors, including orange, green, and violet.
Intermediate Colors - Colors formed by mixing a primary color with a secondary color, such as red-orange or blue-green.
Tertiary Colors - Colors created by combining two secondary colors or by neutralizing a color with its complement, like browns and olive greens.
Hue - The name of a color based on its position in the spectrum, such as red, blue, or green.
Value - The lightness or darkness of a color, determined by the amount of white or black added to it.
Saturation - The intensity or purity of a color, with high saturation colors appearing bright and low saturation colors appearing dull.
Shape - The form created by lines enclosing an area, which can be geometric, organic, biomorphic, or amorphous.
Space - The illusion of depth or distance in a two-dimensional artwork, created through techniques like perspective and overlapping.\
Illusion of Space - The concept in art where artists aim to create a sense of depth or distance in a two-dimensional artwork.
Overlapping - A technique in art where objects are grouped, causing some parts of objects to be hidden, creating the impression of near and distant objects.
Relative Size and Linear Perspective - The idea that objects appear larger when they are closer and smaller as they move farther away, utilizing techniques like linear perspective.
Atmospheric Perspective - Also known as aerial perspective, a technique in art where depth is created through gradients, dividing the picture plane into foreground, middle ground, and background.
Chiaroscuro - A technique in painting that uses light and shadow to create the illusion of form and depth, where areas blocked from light create cast shadows.
Texture - The surface quality of an object that taps into both the sense of touch and sight, with types including actual, simulated, abstract, and invented textures.
