Geometric Shape

Geometric Shape is a 2-D image that contains straight lines and crisp and precise edges.

Organic Shape

Organic Shape is a 2-D image that contain a variety or curves and round-edges symbolizing nature.

Geometric Form

Geometric Form is similar to similar to geometric shape, but it is a 3-D image with straight lines and crisp and precise edges.

Organic Form

Organic Form is similar to organic shape, but it is a 3-D object or image that contain a variety of curves and round-edges representing the organic or nature like aspect of the image or object.

Wedging

Like the picture shown below, Wedging is when you knead moist clay in order to forces air bubbles and arrange clay particles.

Stylized Art

A image or object that is presented in a non-realistic way. The horse below is drawn with multiple colors, however a real horse can only be one color such as white, black, chestnut.

Representational Art

An image or object that is presented in a realistic way (physically). The image below shows real people in realistic clothing.

Volume

Volume can be define as either an empty 3-D object or an image (2-D that depicts 3-D forms by using the illusion of space. The image below is depicting a cube by creating an illusion of space through shading.

Contrast

When two things in an image or object work against each other. The apple's bright color is creating a contrast against the dull background.

Proportion

billy_ngo2000 — 2015-04-17 00:59:14 UTC

The relative size of visual elements within an image. The sun is the same size, but we are just taking a close up image of Bart making him look proportionally bigger.

Scale

billy_ngo2000 — 2015-04-17 01:02:08 UTC

The size relationship between 2 separate objects. We didn't zoom in on the eye or anything. The eye is made to look bigger because it is being compared to the building around it.

Texture

Texture can be visual or tactile, and we can create texture visually using multiples marks, or physically through surface variation. The visual below gives us a rough texture.

Utilitarian/Functional Design

billy_ngo2000 — 2015-04-17 01:09:57 UTC

It is a piece of art (including ceramic wares) that have been made/design for a practical purpose rather than design.

Slab

billy_ngo2000 — 2015-04-17 01:13:22 UTC

A slab in ceramic is a flat piece of clay of various thickness. You could make a piece of slab using a PVC pipe, two rulers or pieces of woods with matching thickness, and clay.

Score

billy_ngo2000 — 2015-04-17 01:13:30 UTC

To score is to make marks on the edges or surface of clay before joining them together, typically with slip. You could score by using a sharp, needle-like tool to scratch or rough up the edges or surfaces of the clay.
