Asymmetrical Symmetrical

Unity- using similar elements and principles within a composition to create harmony

Rhythm the repetition of a visual movement-colors, shapes, or lines

Rhythms: Random Alternating Progressive Flowing Regular

Movement is a way of combining elements to produce the look of action, or to cause the viewers eye to sweep over the work in a certain manner.

Perspective is concerned with giving the appearance of Depth on the flat surface of the page.

Orthogonal lines move away from the viewer always meet At the Vanishing Point.

Positive Space main focus of a picture

Printmaking

Gives the number of each print in the sequence Printmaking: edition Original prints numbered to indicate the total number of prints pulled, or printed- EACH THE EXACT SAME Gives the number of each print in the sequence

Relief printing - The image is printed from ink on the surface of wood, linoleum, or other flat surface. Nonprinting areas have been cut away. The completed print is a mirror image of the original plate.
