Exam 3 Study Guide- Art decoo A decorative style, popular in the 1920s, characterized by its geometric pattern and reflecting the rise of industry and mass production in the early twentieth century- Folk arto Art and craft objects made by people who have not been formally trained as artists- Impastoo A painting technique in which pigments are applied in thick layers or strokes to create a rough three-dimensional paint surface on the two-dimensional surface- Mediumo The tools or materials used to create an artwork- Patterno The repetition of a visual element or module in a regular and anticipated sequence- Tactile textureo The use of materials to create a surface that can be felt or touched- Trompe l’oeilo A French term meaning “to fool the eye.” The objects are in sharp focus and delineated with meticulous objects are in sharp focus and delineated with meticulous care to create an artwork that almost fools the viewer into believing that the images are the actual objects.- Verisimilitudeo Accuracy or faithfulness in depiction or representation- Visual textureo A two-dimensional illusion suggestive of a tactile quality- Aerial perspectiveo The perception of less-distinct contours and value contrasts as forms recede into the background. Colors appear to be washed out in the distance or take on the color of the atmosphere. Also called atmospheric perspective- Ambiguityo Obscurity of motif or meaning- Amplified perspectiveo A dynamic and dramatic illusionistic effect created when an object is pointed directly at the viewer- Closed formo The placement of objects by which a composition keeps the viewer’s attention within the picture- Conceptualo Artwork based on an idea. An art movement in which the idea is more important than the two or three-dimensional artwork- Elevationo Shows one façade of the structure or the appearance from the outside from one viewpoint- Equivocal spaceo An ambiguous space in which it is hard to distinguish the foreground from the background. Your perception seems to alternate from one to the other- Eye level/Horizon lineo The farthest point we can see where the delineation between the sky and ground becomes distinct. The line on the picture plane that indicates the extent of illusionistic space and one which are located the vanishing points- Foreshorteningo A distortion of a shape due to perspective wherein an object appears shorter than we know it to be- Isometric projectiono A spatial illusion that occurs when lines receding on the diagonal remail parallel instead of converging toward a common vanishing point. Used commonly in oriental and far eastern art- Juxtapositiono When one image or shape is placed next to or in comparison to another image or shape- Linear perspectiveo A spatial system used in two-dimensional artworks to create the illusion of space. It is based on the perception that if parallel lines are extended to the horizon line, they appear to converge and meet at the common point, called the vanishing point- Monocularo Pertaining to vision from one eye only- Montageo A recombination of images from different sources to form a new picture- Multiple perspectiveo A depiction of an object that incorporates several points of view- Multipoint perspectiveo A system of spatial illusion with different vanishing points for different sets of parallel lines- One-point perspectiveo A system of spatial illusion in two-dimensional art based on the convergence of parallel lines to a common vanishing point usually on the horizon- Open formo The placement of elements in a composition so that they are cut off by the boundary of the design. This implies that the picture is a partial view of a larger scene- Overlappingo A device for creating an illusion of depth in which some shapes are in front of andpartially hide or obscure others- Parallaxo The resolution of two images from binocular (two-eyed) vision- Perspectiveo View in a painting from a certain vantage point- Picture planeo The two-dimensional surface on which shapes are organized into a composition- Plano Shows a map of the floor and wall arrangement and is a scale interpretation of the placement of features such as doors and windows- Planeo The two-dimensional surface of a shape- Transparencyo A situation in which an object or form allows light to pass through it. In two-dimensional art, two forms overlap, but both are seen in their entirety.- Two-point perspectiveo A scene that is viewed through an angle, with no objects parallel to the picture plane with edges receding to two points on the horizon line.- Vanishing pointo In linear perspective, the point at which parallel lines appear to converge on the horizon line. Depending on the view, there may be more than one vanishing point- Vertical locationo A spatial device in which elevation on the page or format indicates a recession into depth. The higher an object, the farther back it is assumed to be.- Anticipated movemento The implication of movement on a static two-dimensional surface cause by the viewer’s past experience with a similar situation- Blurred outlineo A visual device in which most details and the edges of a form are lost in the rapidity of the implied movement- Kinetico Artworks that actually move or have moving parts- Lines of forceo Lines that show the pathway of movement and add strong visual emphasis to a suggestion of motion- Multiple imageo A visual device used to suggest the movement that occurs when a figure is shown in a sequence of slightly overlapping poses in which each successive position suggests movement from the prior position- Repeated figureo A compositional device in which a recognizable figure appears within the same composition in different positions and situations so as to relate a narrative to the viewer- Achromatico Black, grey, or white with no distinctive hues- Chiaroscuroo The use of light and dark values to imply depth and volume in a two-dimensional work of art- Cross-hatchingo A drawing technique in which a series of lines are layered over each other to buildup value and to suggest form and volume- Mixed mediao The combination of two or more different media in a single work of art- Shadingo Use of value in artwork- Value contrasto The relationship between areas of dark and light- Value emphasiso Use of light-and-dark contrast to create a focal point within a composition- Value patterno The arrangement and amount of variation in light and dark values independent of any colors used- Wash drawingo A
