10. In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art.
The texture stimulates two different senses: sight and touch. There are four
types of texture in art: actual, simulated, abstract, and invented texture.

11. Pattern: Pattern is about repeating elements, so you may choose to
arrange similar shapes or colors around your piece to achieve this.

12. Light and shadows visually define objects. ... Artists use values to translate
the light and shadows this creating the illusion of a dimension it create
with the base of the following density tone areas of an object they are High
light, Halftone/ Mid tone, Shade/ Core shade , reflected light and cast
shadow

13. One Point Perspective: drawing has one-point perspective when it contains
only one vanishing point on the horizon line. This type of perspective is
typically used for images of roads, railway tracks, hallways, or buildings
viewed so that the front is directly facing the viewer. Any objects that are
made up of lines either directly parallel with the viewer's line of sight or
directly perpendicular (the railroad slats) can be represented with one-point
perspective. These parallel lines converge at the vanishing point.

14. Viewpoint describes the position of the subject to the
viewer.

15. negative space.
Negative space is anything that isn’t a subject.
example : in a portrait painting, the negative space is
whatever’s around the person.

16. With some designs, this is done by
connecting stencil islands (sections of material that
are inside cut-out "holes" in the stencil) to other parts
of the stencil with bridges (narrow sections of material
that are not cut out). Stencil technique in visual art is
also referred to as pochoir.

17. The elements of art are the building blocks of an artwork: color, line, shape,
form, value, texture, and space. They are the tools artists use when creating
an artwork.

18. The seven elements of art are line, shape, space, value, form, texture,
and color. These elements are the building blocks, or ingredients, of art.
The aesthetic use of all these areas for communicating the inner thought of

23. Oil pastel (also called wax oil crayon) is a painting and drawing medium with

28. Balance:
Is the conscious arrangement of forms colours lines, textures for
maintain the visual “weight balance inn the pictorial area or space
This doesn’t mean you need a symmetrical design because you can do
this asymmetrically as well.
For example, if you have one large object on one half of your painting,
you might consider placing two smaller objects on the other side to
maintain balance.
