Definition
A regular or repeated design, form,order or arrangement. Duplicates one or more components and arranges the resulting occurrences in a circular or rectangular pattern.
Term
Profile Line
Definition
In sketching, a dark heavy line that outlines the object drawn.
Term

Definition
The physical geometry of a model.
Term
Sketch
Definition
A freehand drawing of an idea, or solution to a problem without concern for detail, which could be done either on paper or on a computer.

Definition
Ability of a substance to reduce the intensity of light radation by converting the energy into another form.
Term
Additive
Definition
Creating a three-dimensioning shape by adding additional shape/mass to the model.
Term
Axonometric
Definition
A drawing only partially to scale, used to describe a method of drawing a three-dimensional object so that the vertical and horizontal axes are drawn to scale, but the curves and diagonals appear distorted.
Term
Color
Definition
The aspect of objects and light sources that may be described in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation for objects and hue, brightness, and saturation for light sources.
Term
Converge
Definition
In a perspective drawing, the effect when parallel lines appear to come together in the distance.
Term
Dark
Definition
Devoid, or partially devoid, of light. Not reflecting.
Term
Diminution
Definition

Term
Gesture Study
Definition
A sketch that captures the essence of shape.
Term
Ground Line
Definition
In a perspective drawing, the plane where objects appear to rest.
Term
Horizon Lines
Definition
In a perspective drawing, the imaginary line at eye level used as a construction line.
Term
Hue
Definition
The gradation of color. The attribute of colors that permits them to be classed as red, yellow, green, blue, or an intermediate color between any contiguous pair of these colors.
Term
Isometric
Definition
A drawing projected so that the plane of the projection of a three-dimensional drawing forms equal angles(120 degrees) to each of the three axes of the object.
Term
Isometric Axis
Definition
The axis representing height, width, and depth for an isometric drawing.
Term
Light
Definition
A quality of brightness.
Term
Mass
Definition
The property of an object that is measure of its inertia, the amount of matter it contains, and its influence in a gravitational field.
Term
Negative Space
Definition
Created by the boundaries of space within an object.
Term
Oblique
Definition
A form of pictorial sketch in which two axes are at right angles to each other(one verticak, one horizontal) and the depth axis is at an oblique angle.
Term
One Point Perspective
Definition
A perspective drawing using one vanishing point.
Term
Perspective
Definition
A view of an object created with one or more points vanishing to the horizon.
Term
Picture Plane
Definition
In a perspective drawing, it is the plane or projection.
Term
Primary Color
Definition
Any one of the three basic colors of the spectrum, red, yellow, or blue, from which all other colors can be blende. Any one of the three basic colors can cyan, magenta, or yellow, which when subtracted from white can produce all other colors.
Term
Projection Plane
Definition
An imaginary plane in the line that outlines the object drawn.
Term
Proportion
Definition
Is a Principle of Design. Comparative relationships between things with respect to size.
Term
Render
Definition
To create an artistic representation of an object.
Term
Saturation
Definition
Chromatic purity. Freedom from dilution with white.
Term
Shade
Definition
A color mixed with black to absorb more light.
Term
Shading
Definition
An area of relatively dark tone or close lines, dots, or hatch marks that produce darkness or shadow in a drawing or picture.
Term
Spatial Relations
Definition
The relative position and size of objects in a three-dimensional environment.
Term
Spectrum
Definition
A continuum of color formed when a beam of white light is dispersed(as by passage through a prism) so that its component wavelengths are arranged in order.
Term
Subtractive
Definition
Creating a three-dimensional shape by substracting, or removing, shapes/mass from the model.
Term
Tint
Definition
A color mixed with white to give low saturation and high lightness.
Term
Trimetric
Definition
A drawing projected so that the plane of projection of a three-dimensional drawingis at a different angle to all three axes of the object.
Term

Drawing using vertical lines and two vanishing points.
Term
Value
Definition
The lightness or darkness of a color.
Term
