Complementary colors - Hues that intensify each other when juxtaposed and dull each other when mixed ( as pigment). On a color wheel, complementary hues are situated directly opposite each other. 

47.) Analogous - The juxtaposition of hues that contain the same color in differing proportions, such as red-violet, pink, and yellow-orange, all of which contain red. 

48.) Triadic - A color scheme based in three hues equidistant from one another on the color wheel, such as yellow - orange, blue - green , and red - violet. 

49.) Restricted Palette or Palette - A surface used for mixing paints. 2. The range of colors used by an artis or a group of artist, either generally or in a specific work. A restricted palette is limited to a few colors and their mixtures, tints, and shades. 

50.) Open Palette - An open Palette is one in which all colors are permitted. 

51.) Simultaneous Contrast -  The perceptual phenomenon where by complementary colors appear most brilliant when set side by side.

52.) After Image - An image that persists after the visual stimulus that first produced it has ceased. The mechanics of vision cause an afterimage to appear in the complementary hue of the original stimulus. 

53.) Optical Color Mixture - The tendency of the eyes to blend patches of individual colors placed near one another so as to perceive a different, combined color. Also, any art style that exploits this tendency, especially the pointillism of Georges Seurat. 

54.) Pointillism - A quasi-scientific painting technique of the late 19th century, developed and promulgated by Georges Seurat and his followers, in which pure colors were applied in regular, small touches (points) that blended though optical color mixture when viewed at a certain distance. 

55.) Picture Plane - The literal surface of a painting imagined as window, so that objects depicted in depth are spoken of as behind or receding from the picture plane, and objects in the extreme foreground are spoken of as up against the picture plane. A favorite trick of trompe-l'oeil painters is to pain an object that seems to be projecting forward from the picture plane into the viewer's space. 

56.) Vanishing Point - In linear perspective, the point on the horizon where parallel lines appear to converge. 

57.) Kinetic or Kinetic Art - Having to do with motion. Kinetic art incorporates (rather than depicts) real or apparent movement. Broadly defined, kinetic art may include film, video, and performance art. However, the term is often applied to sculpture that is set in motion by motors or air currents. 

58.) Composition - The organization of lines, shapes, colors, and other art elements in a work of art. More often applied to two-dimensional art; the broader term is design. 

59.) Design - the organization of visual elements in a work of art. In two-dimensional art, often referred to as composition. 

60.) Visual Weight - The apparent "heaviness" or "lightness" of the forms arranged in a composition, as gauged by how insistently they draw the viewer's eye. 

61.) Scale - Size in relation to some "normal" or constant size. Compare proportion. 

62.) Proportion - Size relationships between parts of a whole, or between two or more items perceived as a unit; also, the size relationship between an object and its surroundings. compare scale. 

63.) Hierarchical Scale - The representation of more important figures as larger than less important figures, as when a king is portrayed on a larger scale that his attendants. 

64.) Pigment - A coloring material made from various organic or chemical substances. When mixed with a binder, it creates a drawing or painting medium. 

65.) Binder - A substance in paints that causes particles of pigment to adhere to one another and to a support. 

66.) Pastel - 1. A drawing medium consisting of sticks of color made of powdered pigment and a relatively weak binder. 2. A light-value color, especially a tint. 

67.) Wash - Ink or watercolor paint thinned so as to flow freely onto a support. 

68.) Conceptual Art - Art created accourding to the belief that the essence of art resides in a motivating idea, and that any physical realization or recording of this idea, and that any physical realization or recording of this idea is secondary. conceptual art arose during the 1960's as artist tried to move away from producing objectis that could be bought and sold. conceptual works are often realized physically in materials that have little or no inherent value, such as a series of photographs or texts that document an activity. They are often ephemeral. 

69.) Medium - The material from which a work of art is made. 2. A standard category of art such as painting or sculpture. 3. A liquid compounded with pigment to make paint, also called a vehicle and often acting as a binder. 

70.) Vehicle - Another term for medium, in the sense of a liquid compounded with pigment to make paint. 

71.) Support - The surface on which a work of two-dimensional art is made; for example, canvas,paper, or wood. 

72.) Primer - A preliminary coating applied to a painting support to improve adhesion of paints or to create special effects. A traditional primer is gesso, consisting of a chalky substance mixed with glue and water. Also called a ground. 

73.) Fresco Secco - A painting medium in which colors are applied to a plaster ground, usually a wall (mural) or a ceiling. In buon fresco, also called true fresco,  colors are applied before the plaster dries and thus bond with the surface. In fresco secco ("dry fresco"), colors are applied to dry plaster. 

74.) Buon Fresco - also called true fresco,  colors are applied before the plaster dries and thus bond with the surface.  ( not in the book ) 

75.) Cartoon - A full-scale preparatory drawing for a fresco or mural. 

76.) Gesso - A brilliant white undercoating made of inert pigment such as chalk or plaster and used as ground for paint, especially for tempera. 

77.) Glaze - In oil painting, a thin, translucent layer of color, generally applied over another color. ( For example, blue glaze can be applied over yellow to create green.) In ceramics, a liquid that, upon firing , fuses into a vitreous (glasslike) coating, sealing the porous clay surface. Colored glazes are used to decorate ceramics. 

78.) Alla Prima - Italian for "all in one go." In oil painting, the technique of completing a painting in a single session, as opposed to building it up slowly over a period of time. Alla prima technique rules out such time-consuming procedures as glazing in favor of a more spontaneous approach that often features opaque impasto and visible brush strokes. 

79.) Impasto - From the Italian for "paste," a thick application of paint. 

80.) Matrix - In printmaking, a surface ( such as a block of wood ) on which a design is prepared before being transferred through pressure to a receiving surface ( such as a sheet of paper).

81.) Edition - In printmaking, the total number of prints made from a given plate or block. According to contemporary practice, the size of an edition is written on each print, and the prints are individually numbered with it. The artist signature indicates approval of the print and acts as a guarantee of the edition. 

82.) Registration - In printmaking, the precise alignment of impressions made by two or more printing blocks or plates on the same sheet of paper, as when printing an image in several colors. 

83.) Planography or Planographic- Printmaking techniques in which the image areas are level with the surface of the printing plate. Lithography and monotype are planogrphic methods. 

84.) Silkscreen - See screenprinting. 

85.) Serigraphy - See screenprinting

86.) Screenprinting  - A printmaking method in which the image is transferred to paper by forcing ink through a fine mesh which the areas not meant to print have been blocked; a stencil technique. 

87.) Daguerreotype - The first practical photographic process. Invented by Jacques Louis Mande' Daguerre and made public in 1839, it produced a single permanent image directly on a prepared copper plate. 

88.) Dada - An international art movement that emerged during World War 1 ( 1914-18). Believing that society itself had gone mad, Dada refused to make sense or to provide any sort of aesthetic refuge or comfort. Instead, it created " anti-art" that emphasized absurdity, irrationality, chance, whimsy, irony, and childishness. Deliberately shocking or provocative works, actions, and events were aimed at disrupting public complacency  

89.) Auteur - French for " AUTHOR," the word describes a filmmaker, usually a director, who exercises extensive creative control over his or her films, imbuing them with a strong personal style.  

90.) Typeface - In graphic design , a style of type. 

91.) Layout - In graphic art, the disposition of text and images on a pages, or the overall design of typographic elements on page, spread, or book.
