Document Summary
Organic line: a mark with length and direction found in nature. Rectilinear line: a mark composed of straight edges. Anomaly: the deviation from the common form or arrangement. Motif: a designed unit or pattern that is repeated often enough in the total composition to make it a significant or dominant feature. Visual texture: an illusion of texture created by the artist. Physical texture: the way something feels when you touch it. Asymmetrical balance: without symmetry ; having unequal or noncorresponding parts. Value contrast: the lightness or darkness of a color. Symmetrical balance: the exact duplication of appearances in mirrorlike repetition on either side of a straight-lined central axis. Repetition: the use of the same visual effect and/or similar visual effects a number of times in the same composition. Geometric shape: flat, two-dimensional objects formed by multiple lines; do not appear in nature. Grid/pattern: a repeating element and/or design that can produce a new set of characteristics or organization.
