Vocabulary: Abstract art: Art that uses a visual language of shape, form, color, and line to create a composition that does not (usually) depict a person, place or thing in the natural world. In other words, nothing in abstract art has a name like: house, bunny or tree – only color, shape and line.
Complimentary Colors: Complementary colors are pairs of colors which lie opposite each other on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those two colors. Complementary colors may also be called "opposite colors".
