CTE 3201 Exam 2 Study Guide 03 02 2014 Definitions Hue o Distinctions within visual spectrum or color wheel o Lightness or darkness of an object o Brightness or dullness of an object o Refer to value o Hue mixed with black o Hue mixed with white Value Intensity Tone Shade Tint Neutral Monochromatic Analogous scheme o color schemes rest on one hue o Adjacent hues on the color wheel create an analogous color Complementary o A complementary color scheme contains two hues that are opposites on the color wheel Split Complementary o A split complementary color scheme uses one hue and the two on either side of its complement Triadic o A triad features three hues equidistant on the color wheel Tetradic o A tetrad or a double split complement refers to four colors that are equidistant on the color wheel o Created by the eye as small bits of color are perceived to Optical Mixing blend and form a mixture Color Constancy o Viewer interprets the color to be the same under various light conditions magenta cyan Primary colors of pigment versus light o Primary colors of pigment subtractive process yellow o Primary colors of light additive process red blue green How to achieve primary secondary and tertiary colors o Traditional primary colors red yellow blue o Secondary colors Orange green violet Made by mixing two primary colors from either side of the color wheel o Tertiary colors Red orange Yellow orange Yellow green Blue green Blue violet Red violet Made by mixing a primary and an adjacent secondary color together Line o Know line aspects variations Outer lines create the edge between Apparel Body The environment Inner lines divide the product image into smaller parts Every line has 8 aspects Every line has 8 aspects Pattern path Thickness Straight versus curved Curved lines can enhance the curves of our body and give the illusion of countering thinness Jagged gives a more dynamic effect Can either add or possibly minimize weight or girth aggressive Thick lines can be very bold forceful Thin lines can minimize weight more delicate dainty calm Continuity Lines can either be continuous broken or dotted Continuous consistent gives perception of being more regular and smoother Broken or irregular line more playful interruptive less expected Edge sharpness Sharp crisp clear or fuzzy edges Fuzzy lines are softer uncertain understated Edge contour Either simple more linear and lean on the Or on the right more shaped involved left complex Variations of edge contour are either smooth or shaped Consistency Lines can be solid and closed versus porous Solid closed line will advance boldly because it will appear smooth and strong More porous will advance somewhat but can reside not as certain Length Length can either be short or long High low emphasizes direction Short would be more abrupt Direction Vertical Horizontal Diagonal Variations in short versus long Long emphasizes direction more Outer lines create edge between apparel body environment Inner lines divide the product image into smaller parts o Given a definition of a line be able to choose the physical psychological effects created by it A line is the visual depiction of movement energy across a surface Very powerful in visual perception o Multiple choice A wavy broken thin line suggests Undulating casual gentle o Understand the visual impact of outline types Black outlining forces an area to advance White outlining diffuses color making it weaker yet separate Outlines define shape and create space Understand the three types of lines Exist in space Actual Implied Psychic Don t actually exist we fill in the blanks No real line not even points example is figure pointing or looking in certain direction o Example shooting a basketball o Understand visual impact of Horizontal Vertical Implies quiet repose sleep Implies strength action stability Diagonal lines Implies movement o Natural o Geometric o Nonrepresentational o Rhythm o An interruption in a design can also be called a rhythm o Feeling of organized movement o Design principle based on repetition of elements motifs o A movement or natural eye flow by the regular reoccurrence of related elements o Rhythm only applies to Line Space Shape pattern o Alternating rhythm same element regular sequence uninterrupted by change Successive patterns of the same patterns in a regular or alternating rhythm o Progressive rhythm a group of like objects or elements in an arrangement at unequal intervals Utilizes similar elements that change in a regular manner A progression of a feeling or a pattern Gradation transition or sequence can also be defined as progressive rhythm Converging patterns Getting gradual larger or gradual smaller in rhythmic manner o Repetitive rhythm similar elements at unequal intervals o Visual rhythm this concept refers to the movement of the viewer s eye broken o Broken Rhythm rhythm functions effectively even when Interruption in pattern draws eye to itself o All over pattern the eye automatically moves from motif to motif Shape Form Natural o Understand and be able to identify 4 categories of shape Natural shapes are those that copy nature Human Animal Plant shapes Variations distortion idealism and Natural form can be fluid and changing naturalism Waves Clouds The human body Geometric Geometric shapes are those that can be mathematically formed or have the illusion of being mathematically formed Abstract When a natural shape has been altered to emphasize its essential qualities without reference to realistic depiction Biomorphic a shape that alludes to organic natural forms Nonobjective matter suggestion o Positive and negative shapes within the format o Isolation or integration Shapes with no object reference and no subject Different visual effects are caused solely by placement Right visual shows similar shapes in the exact same positions as on the left visual Matching True False Same color variety of value Monochromatic Equal parts of complementary colors Neutral Add white Tint Darkness Value Bright green Intensity No color Neutral Dark blue Shade Red green Harmony The value is the lightness or darkness of a color TRUE A complement harmony would utilize side by side colors on a color The hue of a color is made by adding grey FALSE Color after images are negative FALSE Monochromatic background makes it more difficult to pick out wheel FALSE colors FALSE Simultaneous contrast means that actual differences in touching colors seem exaggerated TRUE Psychology of Color Simultaneous
