Greatest Art Terms...

In elementary and middle school, we all have the art classes where we think what we are being taught really does not come in handy and it is all nonsense. I remember being handed a vocabulary sheet each year, with the same words on it ever since 6th grade. I never thought I would have to really hear those words again, and I figured they were just stupid. But as a college art student, those very words are now in my every day vocabulary. Each time I pick up a pencil, or a camera, or a paint brush, the list of vocabulary words even from 6th grade are running through my mind.
Abstract
Background
Composition
Focal Point
Foreground
Geometric
Landscape
Line
Midground
Modern
Portrait
Like I said, those were just the basic words I was taught at first when I was younger that I still use quite often, and going through the list making sure my pieces have good composition, an good focal point, good in a linear aspect, and other things I have been taught really helps me. I have been taught now that the arts have a language of its own.
