HueHue is another word for color. The attribute which describes colors by

name, i.e. red, blue, yellow etc.

Vanishing PointIn linear perspective, the point on the horizon line where parallel lines appear to converge.

One-Point PerspectiveOne-point perspective is a type of linear perspective.  All categories

of linear perspective include a horizon line and a stationary point (the position of the observer).  In one-point perspective, only one vanishing point exists; lines radiate outwardly from this point, and

perpendicular lines meet at this point.  

Two-Point PerspectiveTwo-point perspective is a type of linear perspective. 

All categories of linear perspective include a horizon line and a stationary point (the position of the observer).  In two-

point perspective, there exist two points from which an object’s lines radiate from; the sides of the object vanish to one of two

vanishing points on the horizon line. 

Aerial PerspectiveCreating a sense of depth in painting by imitating the

way the atmosphere makes distant objects appear less distinct and more bluish than they would be if nearby. Also known as atmospheric perspective.

PatternThe repetition of an element (or elements) in a

work.

PixelThey are basically small dots that make up pictures on a computer, but you can’t see them individually because they are

so small.

Vector-ArtVector art is a form of digital illustration. Knowing how to use vector-based illustration is

a prerequisite for almost every graphic design job due to its many applications in commercial media. Vector-based artwork is entirely dependent on computers because it

is driven by complex mathematical equations. Though it is relatively new, many beautiful illustrations and compelling advertisements have been created with vector art.

ThemeThe subject of a talk, a piece of writing, a

person's thoughts, or an exhibition; a topic

OpacityOpaque paint does not allow the light to

transmit through the paint. This is important for covering imperfections and

for retention of true color in many instances.
