|
HUE- general/color family name; that by which you identify the color; location on the spectrum
INTENSITY- brightness/ dullness of the hue (contrast by adding the complimentary color) VALUE- lightness/ darkness of a hue (tint= hue + white; tone= hue + gray; shade= hue + black) |
|
|
Describe the five different value keys.
|
High Key- close to white
Medium Key- close to gray Low Key- close to black Major Key- very high contrasts Minor Key- low contrasts |
|
|
What is the definition of achromatic?
|
black/ white, or very dulled hues
|
|
|
What are analogous colors?
|
Colors that are close to one another on the color wheel, and all within one family (for example- blue, blue-green, blue-violet) *Cannot mix families!
|
|
|
What is Broken Color?
|
uses optical mixing; colors placed next to each other will cause the eyes to mix them together; like impressionistic painting
|
|
|
What is Local Color?
|
the color of the area without highlights or shadows
|
|
|
What is chiaroscuro?
|
refers to extreme contrast of light and dark
|
|
|
What is color inversion?
|
When the natural value of the color is reversed; i.e. dark colors replace light colors and vice-versa (Example- photo negatives)
|
|
|
What does it mean if a design is monochromatic?
|
It uses only tints and shades of the same color
|
|
|
What is a color chord?
|
Multiple (3 or 4) colors used together because they are harmonious
|
|
|
What are the three primary colors?
|
red, yellow, blue
|
|
|
What are the three secondary colors and how do you achieve them?
|
Mix the primaries; orange, purple, green
|
|
|
What are the intermediate colors and how do you achieve them?
|
Mix a primary and a secondary; red orange, yellow orange, red violet, blue violet, yellow green, blue green
|
|
|
What are the tershiary colors and how do you achieve them?
|
Mix a secondary with an intermediate; buff, russet, olive, slate, citrin, and plum
|
|
|
What in luminous color?
|
perceived 'light' in a color
|
|
|
What is Distance/ atmospheric perspective?
|
as the viewing distance increases, the colors fuse together into gray
|
|
|
What is optical mixing?
|
optical allusion where two colors are put close together in lines, dots, or dashes, and optically mix to create one color.
|
|
|
What is Hue Pronouncement?
|
outlining with black/ white/ or a high contrast color
|
|
|
What is additive mixing?
|
mixing in lights; colors are added together to create white
|
|
|
What is subtractive mixing?
|
mixing with pigments; colors are added to create black
|
|
|
What is texture?
|
the illusion of value
|
|
|
What are the 10 aspects that affect color?
|
1. time of day
2. light & source of light 3. distance (atmospheric perspective) 4. shape of area of color 5. size of area of color 6. texture 7. field color 8. optical mixing 9. hue pronouncement 10. additive & subtractive color |
|
|
What are the 7 elements of design? (list and define)
|
1. space- the area between or within shapes
2. line- an elongated mark connecting 2 points 3. shape- a flat space enclosed by a line 4. form- a 3-dimensional area enclosed by surface lines 5. light- the proportion of the electromagnetic or radiant spectrum that is visible to the human eye; brightness depends on the amount of energy 6. color- pigment or material with ability to reflect certain lightwaves 7. texture-the tactile surface of an object or the visual representation of a tactile surface |
|
|
What are the 8 aspects of a line?
|
1. path- where the line is going
2. thickness- line weight 3. continuity- whether it is ever broken 4. sharpness/ fuzziness 5. contour- curves 6. consistency 7. length 8. direction- horizontal/ vertical/ diagonal |
|
|
What is the field?
|
the area of manipulation (the background)
|
|
|
What is balance?
|
the relationship between the design and its field
|
|
|
Define negative space and positive space.
|
Negative space- area without design imposed
Positive Space- area with design |
|
|
What is the Law of the Field?
|
contrast of value between the field and the design; creates a sense of depth, movement
|
|
|
What is the Design dynamic?
|
what emotional response you're trying to evoke.
|
|
