Performance artists the Blue Man Group rely on bodily movements to communicate ideas without speech.

This type of sculpture can move and change its visual form.

Alexander Calder invented the ________, a type of suspended, balanced sculpture that uses air currents to power its movement.

If Alexander Calder's Untitled mobile was powered by a small motor, rather than air currents, it would not be an example of actual motion.

The elements of time and motion are not applicable to the art of photography.

What element describes the imposition of order and harmony on a design?

The three kinds of unity are:

Compositional unity strikes an interesting balance between the monotony of too much similarity, and the chaos of too much ________ in a work of art.

What principle of art did Katsushika Hokusai employ in "The Great Wave off Shore at Kanagawa" in order to bring harmony to what could otherwise be a very chaotic scene?

The kind of scale used for objects that appear larger than they are in real life is called ___ scale.

An artist might use a small scale for a portrait of a lover because it implies ________.

When an artist uses scale to indicate the relative importance of elements in a composition, he or she is employing this kind of scale

This type of scale is common in the relief sculpture of ancient Egypt, where it was used to indicate social importance.

This group of artists sometimes used distorted scale to create dreamlike images that subvert our conscious experiences.

This proportional system uses a ratio of 1:1.618.

It does not matter if a sculptor is creating a human statue on a monumental scale, or a figure much smaller than lifesize: if the sculptor applies the ratio of the Golden Section, the sculpture will have naturalistic proportions.

Rectangles based on the Golden Section can be nested inside each other to create an elegant ________.

Photographers cannot be responsible for principles of scale or proportion in their photographs.

Any of the ________ of art can help focus our interest on specific areas of a work of art.

The opposite of emphasis is ________.
