Created by Mia Arends4 LINE has 2 properties that compare to the ingredients that go into a recipe. Quality, or unique characteristics- each line, like each food, is unique Variation, the large/small, thick/thin and light/dark differences in similar items

Created by Mia Arends19 How do artists create the illusion of space on a flat surface? Fill in the blank with Closer or Farther: Overlapping: What’s in front is _______. Relative size: What’s smaller is _________. Detail and focus: What’s clearest is _____. Placement in space: What’s at top is ______. Shading: What’s highlighted is _______. Perspective: We see things in the distance a certain way. Artists use measurements to recreate this, like taking a photo does.
