Implied Line
|
|
The arrangement of elements within a drawing in relationship to each other and the whole.
|
Composition
|
|
Records information directly from our observations
|
Perceptual Drawing
|
|
Stored visual concepts that facilitate recognition of objects but often prevent accurate perception of familiar objects.
|
Pre-perceptual Drawing
|
|
Is quick, all encompassing simultaneous overview of the wholeness of forms and their relationships in space. It is energetic, flexible, spontaneous and feels the ins and outs of the shapes. It is a right brain activity.
|
Intuitive Gesture
|
|
A systematic drawing procedure generally concerned with the structure and the forms essential structural features, executed in an orderly and rational manner. Readjusting diagonal and searching lines to reposition a shape according to its height and width-plotting the forms and shapes. (Directional lines)
|
Schematic Drawings
|
|
To generate countless vertical and horizontal comparisons between two prominent points within your visual field. Use if for measuring and counting distances and shapes within a form. (Left brain activity)
|
Mondrian Tool and grid
|
|
an elliptical or rectangular shape that defines the volume or skeletal structure of that object. Drawing the other side without physically seeing the other side...to create a transparency of the form as if it were glass.
|
Diagrammatic Drawing
|
|
The range of tones from light to dark or from black to white: all the shades of gray in between.
|
Value
|
|
A means by which the artist suggests three-dimensional space and depth in drawing. (One point perspective and 2 pt. Perspective).

Perspective Drawing

|
A perceptive devise based on the observation that as objects recede in space-light fades, colors dull, and details become obscured.
|
Atmospheric Perspective
|
|
A form that is viewed in such a way that its normal proportions visually appear shortened or compressed.

|
Artistic License

|
The expression of form as occupying 3-D space.
|
Volume
|
|
The space surrounding a positive shape of solid; that which is not occupied or filled with an object.
|
Negative Space
|
|
An object that serves as the subject of the drawing, as distinguished from the background.
|
Positive
|
|
The actual flat surface, or opaque plane, on which a drawing is made. It also refers to the imaginary, transparent “window of nature” that represents the format of a drawing mentally superimposed over real-world subject matter.
|
Picture Plane
|
|
An effective way to represent and organize space in a pictorial work of art.
|
Overlapping
|
|
Objects that are different or similar but maintain or share a common shape that links them as a repetitive visual element.
|
Motif
|
|
Is based on measured repetition of features in a drawing. The more that related elements are stressed, and especially if the accents and visual pace (tempo) are varied, the more pronounced the rhythm will be in a work of art.
|
Rhythm
|
|
An agent that enlivens a work and sustains interest.
|
Variety
|
|
Underlies a work's impact as a complete event. All the principles and elements working together.
|
Unity
|
|
2.When selected lines, tones and shapes are given emphasis in a drawing they will often imply direction.
|
Movement
