Cards in this set: Term Texture Definition refers to the surface quality of things. It makes objects appeal to our sense of touch and sight. Term 2 Types of Texture Definition Tactile Texture   and   Visual texture (or Implied Texture) Term Tactile Texture Definition Our appreciation of the environment comes not only from visual but tactile perception or SENSE OF TOUCH     (pictures of hands touching another hand, hand touching rocks, photo of just rocks.) Term Tactile Texture in Art and Design Definition -Textile and apparel -ceramics -wood -metal -folk art -interior -landscape     Impasto -impressionism   Collage -hand cut and paste collage   Assemblage -installation -site specific installation     Term Visual Texture Definition We experience an illusion or impression of real texture through its visual representation   Much of how we appreciate visual texture is how we remember our own haptic experience Term Visual Texture in Art and Design Definition Painting (Trompe l'oeil technique) Wood or Lino Cut Printing and Dyeing Photography Faux Finish Computerized Collage Term Words to Describe texture Definition smooth, rough, refined, shiny, dull, glossy, matte, sheen, iridescent, lustrous, sheer, bumpy, crude Term Texture and Light Definition the shape, depth, contour or color of a texture can be perceived through the way light falls on the surface   "Reflected light" Term 3 Types of ways light falls on the surface Definition 1. Reflected Light 2. Refracted Light 3. Diffused Light Term Pattern Definition -Pattern in nature and art -pattern/repetition and rhythm -specific terms relating to patterns -pattern networks and the basic grid -variations of the basic grid   Term Patterns result from.... Definition from the repetition of line, shape, size, color and value which have predictable rhythmic effect Term Rhythm vs repetition Definition while repetition creates structure, rhythm gives life and movement to pattern Term 3 types of Repetition Definition -regular -irregular -random Term Repetition Structure *Regular repetition* Definition -simple repeat -alternate repeat -inversion repeat -gradation/progression repeat   Term Repetition Structure in Pattern Design Definition When unit forms are repeated at regular intervals with an equal amount of space surrounding each of them, they may be said to be in a "repetition structure" The repetition structure is formal and is the simplest of all structures. It is particularly useful in the construction of all-over pattern. Term Pattern Definition a design composed through the repetition of visual elements and attributes within a single composition. Term Motif   (not motive) Definition the unit that gets repeated Term Rotation of motif Definition can produce different visual effect to the whole pattern Term Super motif   again... not motive... Definition a single unit that is repeated in four-fold symmetry the form a new combined motif Term Counterchange Definition the lines of one shape form the boundaries of another usually through alternating the color Term Block pattern Definition -units repeated in a visible grid -some may be in an invisible grid (shape bound) Term Sliding (Pattern) Definition each row of structural subdivisions can slide in either a horizontal or vertical direction Term Change in Direction Definition the vertical or horizontal lines or both can be tilted in any direction   (Diamond Pattern) Term Curving or Bending Definition the set of vertical or horizontal lines are regularly curved into the same size and shape   (Scale pattern) Term Triangular Grid Definition the tilting of the direction of the structural lines and then subdividing Term Hexagonal Grid Definition The combining of adjacent spatial units of a triangular grid Term The element of space   2-D space Definition -a two- or three- dimensional area defined by visual elements -defined as a flat plane with only length and width -depth is created through illusion Term Actual Three-Dimensional Space Definition -boundless and limitless in all directions -In design, we refer to 3-D space as the environment or building interior Term Definition Term Newton's Prism Definition As white light travels through the prism, the light bends and the colors spread out Term Visible spectrum Definition Term Electromagnetic Spectrum Definition Term Ultra-Violet Light Definition the ultraviolet radiation itself is invisible to the human eye, but illuminating certain materials with UV radiation prompts the visible effects of fluorescence phosphorescence. Term Light Wavelengths Definition Infared has a longer wavelength than red. Red is a long wavelength.... Violet is the shortest wavelength Term Color perception results from a system of phenomena Definition - light -object -eye -brain Term Local Color Definition The color seen in an unaffected setting under a balanced light source Term Color Constancy Definition Our perception of the color of objects remains relatively constant under varying illumination conditions. Term Subtractive Color Theory Definition The colors that reflect from surfaces of natural and man-made objects come from pigments or chemical compounds Term Additive Color Theory = RGB Definition when all three primaries are added together, they produce white.   These are the "additive" combinations: Red + Green = Yellow Red+ Blue = Magenta Blue + Green = Cyan   Term Fovea (of the Eye) Definition used for sharp central vision (reading, watching tv, driving) Term Subtractive Color Theory   Physicist Color Theory CMYK Definition used in color printing in the middle, black is created Term Definition
