organic form

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-15 15:47:20 UTC

three-dimensional; picture (of a pine cone) visually suggests a representational image of nature, characterized by a variety of curves and rounded edges

organic shape

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 21:51:17 UTC

two dimensional; differentiates from geometric shape b/c it doesn't use the matter of well-defined edges, yet has a more natural look; pictures usually representing nature; i.e. flowers surrounding the face, symbolizing ears & hair

(cont).

another example of contrast; (light vs. dark); color of lips & eyebrows highlight the different skin tones

contrast

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:17:01 UTC

arrangement of opposite elements; i.e. (light vs. dark), in the picture, the pitch black background accentuates the color of the "glowing" white balloons

geometric shape

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:28:44 UTC

two-dimensional; portrays the value of consisting well-defined edges, various straight lines of particular "non-rounded" shapes; rectangles, squares, and triangles

geometric form

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:32:32 UTC

three dimensional; uses clear, refined edges w/ particular shapes such as rectangles, squares & other quadrilaterals or polygons

scale

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:39:49 UTC

difference or similarity (size relationship) between two dissimilar objects

(cont.)

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:40:51 UTC

another example of scale

proportion

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 22:41:55 UTC

relative size of visual elements within an image

(cont).

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 23:12:57 UTC

another example of contrast;

(differences between textures); the smooth pebbles contradicts with the rough, rocky sidewalk

texture

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-19 23:30:06 UTC

created physically through surface variations; i.e. it can be visually shown that the wood has a rough surface due to the multiple markings

stylized art

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 00:01:25 UTC

picture depicting a tiger created by using non-realistic features such as flowers representing the fur of the animal

representational art

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 00:02:03 UTC

picture aims to depict the "actual" physical appearance of the tiger; very realistic, rather than stylized art which is visualized in a cartoon way

score (in ceramics)

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 00:49:09 UTC

tools/instruments that are often used to score & slip various clay pieces

(cont).

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 00:50:52 UTC

scoring; to make marks on the surfaces of the two pieces of clay that are going to be joined together, w/ the addition of slip

wedging (in ceramics)

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 00:57:00 UTC

process in which involve pinching & smacking the ball of clay, forcing all the air bubbles out to form a smooth, seamless texture

volume

ktdiep100 — 2015-04-20 01:02:22 UTC

three-dimensional; represented with the illusion of space

slab (in ceramics)

ktdiep100 — 2015-05-27 04:17:18 UTC

flat piece of clay of various thicknesses (pic below depicts a method in the making of a piece of slab)
