    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_and_form_(visual_arts)

    In the visual arts, shape is a flat, enclosed area of an artwork created through lines, textures, or colours, or an area enclosed by other shapes, such as triangles, circles, and squares. [1] Likewise, a form can refer to a three-dimensional composition or object within a three-dimensional composition. [2]

  3. Design elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_elements

    Design elements are the basic units of any visual design which form its structure and convey visual messages. [1] [2] Painter and design theorist Maitland E. Graves (1902–1978), who attempted to gestate the fundamental principles of aesthetic order in visual design, [3] in his book, The Art of Color and Design (1941), defined the elements of design as line, direction, shape, size, texture ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art

    A shape is a two-dimensional design encased by lines to signify its height and width structure, and can have different values of color used within it to make it appear three-dimensional. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] In animation, shapes are used to give a character a distinct personality and features, with the animator manipulating the shapes to provide new ...

  5. Composition (visual arts) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(visual_arts)

    Shape — areas defined by edges within the piece, whether geometric or organic; Color — hues with their various values and intensities; Texture — surface qualities which translate into tactile illusions; Value — Shading used to emphasize form; Form — 3-D length, width, or depth; Space — the space taken up by (positive) or in between ...

  6. Borromean rings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borromean_rings

    A trivial link with three components has colorings, obtained from its standard diagram by choosing a color independently for each component and discarding the colorings that only use one color. For standard diagram of the Borromean rings, on the other hand, the same pairs of arcs meet at two undercrossings, forcing the arcs that cross over them ...

  7. Color wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_wheel

    A color wheel or color circle [1] is an abstract illustrative organization of color hues around a circle, which shows the relationships between primary colors, secondary colors, tertiary colors etc. Some sources use the terms color wheel and color circle interchangeably; [ 2 ] [ 3 ] however, one term or the other may be more prevalent in ...

  8. Penrose tiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_tiling

    Penrose's first tiling uses pentagons and three other shapes: a five-pointed "star" (a pentagram), a "boat" (roughly 3/5 of a star) and a "diamond" (a thin rhombus). [28] To ensure that all tilings are non-periodic, there are matching rules that specify how tiles may meet each other, and there are three different types of matching rule for the ...

  9. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    Complementary colors are pairs of colors which, when combined or mixed, cancel each other out (lose chroma) by producing a grayscale color like white or black. [1] [better source needed] When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those two colors. Complementary colors may also be called "opposite colors".
