Back 2

Clay is grained natural rock or soil from the earth.

Front 3

Back 6

Area or part of a painting's composition that the subject occupies. For instance, the positive space could be a vase of flowers in a still life painting, a person's face in a portrait, the trees and hills of a landscape painting.

Front 7

Front 10

What do the H pencils mean?

Back 10

The H on graphite pencils simply means hard. H pencils, because they are hard, leave less graphite on the paper, so are lighter. H pencils are used for when you want lighter lines/shading.

Front 11

What do the B pencils mean?

Back 11

The B on graphite pencils simply mean black. B pencils are softer, so leave more graphite on the paper, and so are darker. B pencils are used for when you want darker lines/ shading.

Front 12

What is shape?

Back 12

An element of art that is two-dimensional,flat, or limited to height and width.

Front 13

Name two Kinds of shapes:

Back 13

Geometric shapes - man-made shapes, rectangles, triangles, etc.)

Organic shapes - natural and biomorphic forms

Front 14

What does form mean?

Back 14

An element of art that is three-dimensional (height, width, and depth) and encloses volume

Front 15

Name four kinds of form:

Back 15

1.) Cube

2.) Sphere

3.) Cone

4.) Cylinders

Front 16

What is the difference between form and shape?

Back 16

Shape refers to the two dimensional artworks like paintings. Form refers to three dimensional artworks like sculptures.

Front 17

Define Line:

Back 17

Path created by a point. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin.

Front 18

Define Line Variation:

Back 18

Instead of a mechanical looking line, a line with variation will go from think to thick, and/or light to dark.

Front 19

What is a blind Contour Drawing? What is the process?

Back 19

A drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper.

Front 20

What is the purpose for drawing upside down?

Back 20

Learn to see lines in relationship to each other, rather than as preconceived shapes

Front 21

List the 5 basic things to look for when drawing upside down?

Back 21

1.) Shapes

2.) Lines

3.) Distance

4.) Depth

5.) Detail

Front 22

What does value mean?

Back 22

The relative lightness or darkness of a color. It also defines form and creates spatial illusions.Contrast of value separates objects in space .

Front 23

What are the four different kinds of value shading?

Back 23

1.) Hatching: A row of lines, all facing in the same direction. More dense and concentrated in the areas that appear darker.

2.) Cross-Hatching: Similar to hatching, except with the addition of criss-crossing lines.

3.) Scumbling: Tiny, squiggly circular lines - sort of like "controlled scribbling

4.) Contour-Hatching: Follows the contour, or curve or outline, of the object. In this case, the hatching is rounded to match the shape of the circle.
