• necessary for art

• path of a movement point

• light reflected of a surface

• properties: hue, intensity. value

• how light or dark something is on a scale of white to black

• how something feels or looks like it feels

• enclosed space defined by the other elements of art

• shape is 2D, form is 3D

• geometric or organic

• feeling of depth on a 2D surface

• positive and negative space

• combining elements to create a feeling of action/movement

• guiding the movement of the viewers eye

• an element conflicting with another to create interest

• another word for contrast

• combing opposite elements to create a center of interest

• creating stability in art

• symmetrical balance - both halves are the same

• asymmetric balance - two halves are different but carry the same visual weight

• radial balance - image revolves around a central point

• different elements combined

• elements used multiple times to create patterns or unity

a board to work on your project on

• earth filled with minerals

• when fired it is water proof and holds its shape

kneading clay to get rid of air pockets

a mixture of clay and water used as a glue

making grooves in clay so it will better hold onto any clay that is attached

clay cylinders, these are widely used to create different shapes out of clay

clay rolled flat, this is where relief sculptures are built
