GLOSSARY
 1. COMPOSITION.
Is the way in which different elements of an
artwork are combined. In general, this refers
to the key subjects of the artwork and how
they are arranged in relation to each other.

2. FORMAL SUBDIVISION.
Formal subdivision in art refers0 to the
intentional arrangement of elements and parts
of a drawing or design to better engage with
the audience and express an idea, story, or
theme
 3. INFORMAL SUBDIVISION.
Informal subdivision refers to a concept
often used in art and design. It involves
playing around with composition by dividing a
space or canvas into various sections or
shapes. This technique allows artists to
create visually interesting and balanced
arrangements.

4. PENCIL DRAWING.
Pencil drawing, drawing executed with an instrument
composed of graphite enclosed in a wood casing and
intended either as a sketch for a more elaborate work
in another medium, an exercise in visual expression,
or a finished work. The cylindrical graphite pencil,
because of its usefulness in easily producing linear
gray-black strokes, became the successor of the older,
metallic drawing stylus, with which late medieval and
Renaissance artists and tradesmen sketched or wrote on
paper, parchment, or wood.
5. CHARCOAL SKETCHING.
Artists' charcoal is charcoal used as a dry
art medium. Both compressed charcoal and
charcoal sticks are used. The marks it leaves
behind on paper are much less permanent that
with other media such as graphite, and so
lines can easily be erased and blended.

6. INK PEN ILLUSTRATION.

In fine art, the term 'pen and ink' denotes a
drawing technique involving the use of black
and other coloured inks which are applied to
a support (generally paper) with either a dip
pen or a reservoir pen.
 7. WATERCOLOR PAINTING.
Watercolor or watercolour, also aquarelle, is
a painting method in which the paints are
made of pigments suspended in a water-based
solution. Watercolor refers to both the
medium and the resulting artwork.

8. ACRYLIC PAINTING.
Acrylic paint is a fast-drying paint
made of pigment suspended in acrylic polymer
emulsion and plasticizers, silicone oils,
defoamers, stabilizers, or metal soaps. Most
acrylic paints are water-based, but become
water-resistant when dry.
 9. COLLAGE MAKING.
is a fascinating technique used in the visual
arts. It involves creating art by assembling
various forms into a cohesive whole

10.OIL PASTEL ART.

An oil pastel is a painting and drawing
medium formed into a stick which consists of
pigment mixed with a binder mixture of non-
drying oil and wax, in contrast to other
pastel sticks which are made with a gum or
methyl cellulose binder, and in contrast to
wax crayons which are made without oil.
 11. MIXED MEDIA.
In visual art, mixed media describes artwork in
which more than one medium or material has been
employed. Assemblages, collages, and sculpture
are three common examples of art using different
media. Materials used to create mixed media art
include, but are not limited to, paint, cloth,
paper, wood and found objects.

12.PAPER MACHE SCULPTURE.

Papier-mâché, frequently miswritten as paper
mache, is a composite material consisting of
paper pieces or pulp, sometimes reinforced
with textiles, and bound with an adhesive,
such as glue, starch, or wallpaper paste.
 13.ASSEMBLAGE.
Assemblage is an artistic form or medium
usually created on a defined substrate that
consists of three-dimensional elements
projecting out of or from the substrate. It
is similar to collage, a two-dimensional
medium.

14.TORN PAPER COLLAGE.

Torn paper collages are made using small
pieces of paper which are glued onto a
surface to create an image. In this case
we'll be making portraits using old
magazines, which will provide the colourful
palette you'll need. You can also go black
and white by using newspapers.
 15.COLOUR SCHEMES.
In color theory, a color scheme is a
combination of 2 or more colors used in
aesthetic or practical design. Aesthetic
color schemes are used to create style and
appeal. Colors that create a harmonious
feeling when viewed together are often used
together in aesthetic color schemes.

16.TIGHT ANALOGOUS.
-An analogous color scheme consists of three colors
that are adjacent or next to each other on the color
wheel.
-These colors share similar light waves, making them
inherently harmonious.
For example:
Red and orange
Orange and yellow
Green and blue
Blue and violet
 17.LOOSE ANALOGOUS.
An analogous color scheme consists of colors that
are next to each other on the color wheel.
In a loose analogous scheme, artists have more
flexibility in selecting colors within this range.
Unlike the strict adherence of tight analogous
schemes, loose analogous allows for variation
while maintaining harmony.

18.COMPLEMENTARY.
Complementary colours are pairs of colours
that contrast with each other more than any
other colour, and when placed side-by-side
make each other look brighter.
19.SPLIT- COMPLEMENTARY.
Last but not least, a split-complementary
color scheme uses two colors across the color
wheel, with those two colors lying on either
side of the complementary color. For example,
violet's complimentary color is yellow, but
its split-complementary colors are yellow-
green and yellow-orange.

20.NEUTRAL.
The definition of neutral color is; a color
without much intensity or saturation. It is
also a color which generally goes with every
other color. Imagine colors like tans,
beiges, ivories, creams, whites, blacks, and
grays.
 21.MONOCHROMATIC.
Monochromatic means a color scheme that is
based on a single color, or hue. The other
colors within the color scheme are all light
and dark variations of that hue.

22.TINT.
A tint is where an artist adds a colour to
white to create a lighter version of the
colour. An example of a tint is pink. Pink is
a tint created by adding white to red. A
shade is where an artist adds black to a
colour to darken it down. A tone is where an
artist adds grey to a colour.
 23.SHADE.
Is a hue or mixture of pure colors to which
only black is added. It contains no white or
gray. Shade darkens the color, but the hue
remains the same. When mixing a shade, begin
with the color itself then add black one drop
at a time.

24.TONE.
Tone refers to the lightness or darkness of
colors used, which can help to create a sense
of depth or distance in art. Artists use
light and dark colors to convey a mood or an
emotion.
25.COLOR TEMPERATURE.
Temperature refers to the warmth or coolness
of a color. A color's temperature affects the
color of everything we see. And as artists,
it's important to learn about it because
color temperature helps us create depth, mood
and even movement

26.WARM COLORS.
Warm colors on the other hand, are those hues
that give the feeling of warmth, such as red,
orange, and yellow. These colors are often
associated with fire, the sun, and heat. They
can make an area feel closer and more
intimate and create a sense of energy or
excitement
 27.COLD COLORS.
Cold Colors are hues that give the feeling
of coolness, such as blue, green, and pale
purple. These colors are often associated
with water, grass, and sky. They can create a
sense of distance and make an area appear
further away.

28.AESTHETIC.
Aesthetics is the study of beauty. An
artistic aesthetic is the collection of
stylistic choices an artist uses to make a
work beautiful, or to communicate meaning,
value, or emotion to the observer.
 29.ARTISTIC INTENTION.
The definition of a good artistic intention can
vary depending on individual perspectives and
the context of the artistic endeavor. However,
in general, a good artistic intention refers to
the underlying purpose or motivation behind
creating a piece of art that is considered
meaningful, thought-provoking, or impactful.

30.FORMAL ANALYSIS
A formal analysis is more than just a
description of a work of art. It is an
argument based on your own visual evidence
that takes a stance and creates an
interesting discussion from the formal
elements of the work.
