1. The Formal Elements | 形式元素
Line – a continuous mark made on a surface. Think of L for ‘length without width’.
线条 – 在表面上留下的连续痕迹。联想 L 代表 ‘只有长度没有宽度’。
Shape – a flat, enclosed area created by lines or colour. Remember ‘S’ for ‘silhouette’.
形状 – 由线条或颜色围成的平面区域。记住 ‘形’ 像 ‘剪纸轮廓’。
Form – a three-dimensional object or the illusion of volume. Trick: Form has ‘F’ for ‘fat’ – it has depth.
形体 – 三维立体对象或体积错觉。窍门：形体有深度，想象雕塑的 ‘体’。
Space – the area around, between or within objects. Positive space is the subject; negative space is the background. ‘Space is the stage for your subject.’
空间 – 物体周围、之间或内部的区域。正空间是主体；负空间是背景。’空间是主体的舞台’。
2. Texture & Pattern | 肌理与图案
Texture – the surface quality of an object, either actual (tactile) or implied (visual). Associate with ‘touch’: Tex-ture = touch-texture.
肌理 – 物体表面的质感，可以是真实的（触觉）或暗示的（视觉）。联想：’肌’ 如皮肤，可触摸。
Pattern – a repeated decorative design. Trick: ‘Pattern repeats like a drum pattern.’
图案 – 重复的装饰性设计。记忆法：图案像鼓点一样循环。
Frottage – rubbing technique to capture texture. From French ‘frotter’, to rub.
拓印（擦印） – 通过摩擦获取肌理的技术，源于法语 ‘frotter’（摩擦）。
Impasto – thickly applied paint that creates physical texture. ‘Impasto is Piled-On Paint.’

3. Colour Theory | 色彩理论
Hue – the pure colour name, e.g. red, blue. Hue = ‘who’ is the colour.
色相 – 颜色的名称，如红、蓝。色相就是颜色的’身份’。
Saturation – intensity or purity of a colour. High saturation = bright; low saturation = dull. S for ‘strength’.
饱和度 – 颜色的强度或纯度。高饱和度鲜艳；低饱和度灰暗。’饱’ 就像浓度。
Value – lightness or darkness of a colour. ‘V’ for ‘vampire’ – value dies in light.
明度 – 颜色的明暗程度。V 像光线变化音叉，调节明暗。
Complementary colours – opposite on the colour wheel, e.g. red & green. They ‘complete’ each other by providing maximum contrast.
互补色 – 色轮上相对的颜色，如红与绿。互补色彼此’补充’，产生最大对比。
Monochromatic – using tints and shades of a single hue. ‘Mono’ = one, ‘chroma’ = colour.
单色 – 同一色相的不同明暗变化。’单’ 一，’色’ 彩。
4. Tone & Shading | 调子与明暗
Tone – the degree of lightness or darkness in a work, created by shading. Think ‘tone = light/shadow phone’.
调子 – 通过明暗塑造的亮度层次。调子如同光与影的电话线。
Highlights – the brightest areas where light hits directly.
高光 – 光线直接照射的最亮区域。
Core shadow – the darkest part of an object’s shadow.
明暗交界线 – 物体阴影中最暗的部分。
Cast shadow – shadow thrown by the object onto a surface.
投影 – 物体投在表面上的影子。
Blending – smooth transition between tones. ‘Blend like a b-lender.’
融合渐变 – 调子间的平滑过渡。像搅拌机一样’混合’。
5. Perspective & Depth | 透视与深度
Linear perspective – using converging lines to a vanishing point to create depth. ‘Train tracks meet at the horizon.’
线性透视 – 通过向消失点汇聚的线条表现深度。’铁轨在地平线交汇’。
Aerial perspective – distant objects appear lighter, bluer, and less detailed due to atmosphere. ‘Air makes things fade.’
空气透视 – 远处物体因大气而显得更淡、偏蓝、细节模糊。’空气让远景褪色’。
Foreground, middleground, background – the spatial zones: nearest, middle, furthest. Sing it: ‘F-M-B: Front, Middle, Back.’
前景、中景、背景 – 空间层次：最近、中间、最远。记口诀：前中后，FMB。
6. Composition & Arrangement | 构图与布局
Composition – the arrangement of visual elements. ‘Composition is how you compose the picture.’
构图 – 视觉元素的安排。’构’ 即构造。
Rule of thirds – dividing the frame into a 3×3 grid, placing key elements on intersections. ‘Tic-tac-toe grid to put focal point at a cross.’
三分法 – 将画面分为3×3网格，将主体放在交叉点上。像井字棋一样。
Focal point – the main area of interest. ‘Where your eye goes first – the focus.’
焦点 – 画面中最吸引视线的区域。’视线的焦点’。
Leading lines – lines that guide the viewer’s eye through the artwork. ‘They lead like a tour guide.’
引导线 – 引导观者视线在画面中移动的线条。像导游一样’引导’。
7. Drawing & Mark-Making | 素描与笔触
Hatching – closely spaced parallel lines for shading. ‘Hatch like a chicken scratching lines.’
排线 – 用于明暗的密集平行线。像小鸡抓地留下的痕迹。
Cross-hatching – intersecting sets of parallel lines. ‘Cross = across.’
交叉排线 – 多组平行线交叉叠加。’交叉’ 即十字。
Stippling – using dots to create tone. ‘Dot-dot-stipple.’
点画 – 用点表现明暗。点点点。
Contour drawing – drawing the outline and significant inner lines without lifting the pen. ‘Continuous line tracing the contour of a map.’
轮廓素描 – 不抬起笔画出外轮廓和重要内部线条。如同描摹地图等高线。
8. Painting & Brushwork | 绘画与笔法
Wash – a thin, transparent layer of paint. ‘Wash = watered colour, like watercolour wash.’
水洗薄涂 – 稀释的透明颜料层。’洗’ 即冲洗稀释。
Glaze – thin transparent layer applied over dried paint to modify colour. ‘Glaze is a glass-like film.’
罩染/上光 – 在干颜料上涂刷透明薄层以改变颜色。像玻璃薄膜。
Scumbling – a dry-brush technique with a scrubbing motion, creating a broken, textured effect. ‘Scrubbing + crumbling = scumbling.’
薄擦法 – 用干画笔以擦刷方式作画，产生斑驳肌理。’擦’ 出碎屑效果。
Sgraffito – scratching through a layer of wet paint to reveal underlying colour. ‘Scratch-graffito.’
刮刻法 – 刮开湿颜料层露出底色。刮+刻=刮刻。
