    Classification of arts according to medium


    • Practical​ - works that primarily meant to be functional in everyday life.
    • Environmental​ - widely describe a range of works or practices that involve the use of
    space, or are analyzed in the way that they interact with their surroundings.
    • Pictorial ​- a classification of artwork that is predominantly visual and spatial.
    • Auditory​ - creative works that engage the sense of hearing, while not being necessarily
    musical in nature.
    • Narrative​ - creative works that follow a sequential/story structure, such as events
    unfolding across time (mostly applied in the literary sense, but is also applicable other
    artforms that follow this sequential logic)
    • Dramatic​ - a term tied up with theater, and is used (in the book) to describe works done
    by or for a performance-based representation, such as by actors.
    • Musical​ -creative works that harness a logical arrangement of sound-one of the most
    common is rhythm-and is observable in music, poetry, and dance (with musical
    accompaniment).

    Subject​ - The literal topic depicted in a work, ​perceptible​ and identifiable as is by superficial
    judgment.

    Themes​ - The broad topic or philosophy presented on the conceptual level, codified into the
    elements of the artwork; thus ​the theme is not immediately perceptible.

    Perspective drawing terms


    Perspective ​- ​In art, a technique used to depict volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface, as in a painted
    scene that appears to extend into the distance.

    Vanishing point​ - ​A vanishing point, or point of convergence, is a key element in many works of art. In
    a ​linear perspective​ drawing, the vanishing point is ​the spot on the horizon line​ to ​which the receding parallel lines
    diminish.

    Horizon line​ - i​t is the level of the viewer's eye in relation to the scene of the painting. The horizon line is an
    imaginary line to which all converging lines recede (in other words where all things recede).
    Painting jargons
    Impasto​ - ​a technique used in painting, where paint is laid on an area of the surface in very thick layers

    Trompe-l'œil​ - ​ is an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the ​optical illusion​ that the depicted objects
    exist in three dimensions.

    Chiaroscuro​ - ​the treatment of light and shade in drawing and painting; the treatment of light and shade in
    drawing and painting

    Aperture ​- ​The aperture refers to the size of the opening in the lens through which the
    light enters the camera.

    ISO ​- ​The ISO refers to how sensitive the digital sensor in your camera is to light. The
    lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to light. Setting a higher ISO number
    increases the sensitivity of your camera sensor to light.

    Shutter speed​ - ​The shutter speed refers to the length of time the opening in the lens
    remains open to let light into the camera and onto the sensor.
    Color theory jargons

    Color theory​ - ​a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual effects of a specific
    color combination.

    Hue – name of the color in the color wheels
