Study guide

Artwork: A work of art, artwork, art piece, or art object is an aesthetic item or artistic creation. The term "a work of art" can apply to:

an example of fine art, such as a painting or sculpture

a fine work of architecture or landscape design

a photograph, film or visual computer program

a work of conceptual art or performance art

a production of live performance, such as theater, ballet or opera

an interactive game

Still life: A work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on).

Line: a line is a path left by a moving point

Shape: a two dimensional area with identifiable boundaries.

Geometric shapes: mechanically drawn lines, squares, rectangles, circles.

Organic shapes: shapes based on forms of nature, which are usually rounded, irregular and curving.

Emphasis is given to an area within the design because that area is meant to be seen or is more important to be noticed when compared to other places of the design. Emphasis creates a center of interest.

Pattern: Two-dimensional decorative visual repetition. Motif is a unit that is repeated in visual rhythm (suggest movement through repetition). Units in a motif may or may not be an exact duplicate of the first unit.

Composition: The act of organizing the elements of an artwork into a harmoniously unified whole.

Space: An art element that indicates areas between, around, above, below, or within something.

Negative space: The space NOT occupied by and object or figure, but circulating in and around it.

Positive space: The enclosed areas or objects in an artwork.
