What is a point?
How is it preceived? |
|
Definition
a position wiht not dimension
a point is preceived when a two-dimensionally perceived object appears relatively small in relation to the plane against which it is seen. |
|
|
Term
| When points are used in groups what is the difference between a static and dynamic composition? |
|
Definition
Static points will tend to be in some distinguishable geometric/organized way.
Dynamic points will tend to be in a cluster or have no rime or reason to the shame that is obvious. |

a wheel that organizes color pigments into the three primary colors or red, blue, and yellow. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Defines color more accurately than the color wheel and uses three scales in three dimesions to specify the values of hue, value, and chroma(intensity). the system can be designated with a combination of letters and numbers. (for example G/6/3 is a principal hue of green with the value of 6 and the chroma position of 3.) |
