Assessment Overview and Requirements
- Quiz Identification: Quiz 24.
- Question Format: Fill in the Blank worth 5 points.
- Formatting Rule: Do not capitalize terms when filling in the numbered blanks.

Dynamic Curves
- Flowing, curved lines within an artwork that create energy, movement, rhythm, and visual interest.
- Unlike rigid horizontal or vertical lines, dynamic curves guide the viewer's eye fluidly across the canvas or surface.
Triangular Composition
- A foundational compositional structure where visual elements are arranged in a triangular form.
- Provides stability, balance, and a clear focal point, often placing the primary visual subject near the apex of the triangle.
Directional Line
- Lines present within an artwork—either explicit structural lines or implicit visual paths—that lead the viewer's eye toward specific focal points or across the composition.
- Used strategically by artists to control narrative progression and visual focus.
Atmospheric Perspective
- A method of creating the illusion of depth in a two-dimensional visual work by manipulating value, contrast, and color saturation.
- Distant objects appear lighter, less detailed, cooler in tone (bluer), and lower in contrast compared to sharp, highly detailed foreground objects.
Linear Perspective
- A mathematical visual system based on converging parallel lines meeting at a vanishing point on a horizon line.
- Used to project three-dimensional objects and spatial depth accurately onto a two-dimensional plane.
