    The document defines various art terms related to texture, space, perspective, motion, and style. It discusses actual versus simulated texture, techniques like impasto and frottage. It explores actual and implied space, linear and atmospheric perspective, and styles like futurism which use implied motion, and op-art which relies on optical illusions. Key terms include texture, space, perspective, motion, style, futurism, and op-art.

    ART UNIT 2 PART 2 VOCABULARY

    Actual Texture: the condition in which texture is created, not represented. Actual
    texture is the opposite of simulated texture or the illusion of texture. Examples include
    brushstrokes, impasto, collage, and inclusion.
    Impasto: thick application of paint.
    Simulated or Implied Texture: a visual representation of a tactile experience.
    frottage: french for frotter "to rub" the process of taking paper and laying it over a
    texture and rubbing with a crayon or pencil to capture the texture
    Pattern: a repeated decorative motif
    Motif: a decorative design or pattern.
    Actual Space: The space that a form occupies
    Implied Space: Space that is created on a two-dimensional picture plane (illusionary
    space)
    Picture plane: the space a two-dimensional work of art exists on 
    Perspective: A system of portraying the visual impression of three-dimensional  objects
    on a two-dimensional surface
    Linear Perspective: is based on the observation that parallel lines. As parallel lines get
    farther away from us they appear to converge, finally meeting on a vanishing point on
    the horizon line.
    Horizon line: Eye level
    Vanishing Point : In linear perspective it is the point on the horizon line where parallel
    lines converge
    One-point Perspective: is linear perspective based on one vanishing point
    Two-point Perspective: is linear perspective based on two vanishing points
    Atmospheric Perspective: Based on the observation that distant objects appear less
    distinct, more paler, and bluer than objects that are close to the viewer.
    Isometric Perspective: Uses diagonal lines to convey recession but parallel lines do
    NOT converge. Often seen in East Asian art and used in industry to create measurable
    objects.
    Foreshortening: For pictorial space to be consistent the logic of linear perspective
    must apply to every object in the picture plane. They recede into the distance. If an artist
    were to draw a figure whose arm was pointing directly toward the viewer this would be a
    good example of Foreshortening.
    Positive Space (figure): it is objects in the foreground 
    Negative Space (ground): is the space behind the object
    Figure ground reversal: is when the positive and negative space seem to trade
    positions
    Mobile: a construction or sculpture frequently of wire and sheet metal shapes with parts
    that can be set in motion by air. Artwork that frequently hung from the ceiling
    Kinetic: Greek for moving
    Kinetic Sculpture: sculpture that actually moved
    Implied Motion: Motion in static works of art like the works of the Futurist artist.
    Illusion of Movement: when an artist creates a work of art that deceives our eyes into
    believing there is motion or time passing.
    Stroboscopic motion: created when two or more repeated images are shown in quick
    succession. examples: stop motion flip book, traditional animation or a zoetrope
    Zoetrope: wheel that creates a motion through the rapid rotation of an set of images
    Actual Motion: When something physically moves.
    Performance Art: A form of art, popular especially since the late 1960s, that includes
    not only physical space but also the human activity that  goes on within it
    Futurism: A movement in modern art that grew out of cubism. Artists used implied
    motion by shifting planes and having multiple viewpoints of the subject in the same
    image. They strove to show mechanical as well as natural motion and speed in a static
    object or image. The beginning of the machine age inspired these artists. Frank Stella
    and Giacomo Balla were futurists.
    Op-Art: Art movement in the 1960s that relied on perceptual anomalies of the human
    eye to create dynamic effects
