fine art modern artWhat is the art vocabulary word that means containing or using only one color?
Keeping this in consideration, what is the appropriate art term for color?
Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected to the eye. There are three properties to color. The first is hue, which simply means the name we give to a color (red, yellow, blue, green, etc.). The second property is intensity, which refers to the vividness of the color.
Likewise, when a painting is done in different shades of one color What is it called?
A monochrome or monochromatic painting is one created using only one color or hue. A related term, grisaille, is a type of monochrome painting done completely in grays, coming from the French (and Latin and Spanish) term for gray.
Quite often, non-objective art is used as a synonym for abstract art. However, it is a style within the category of abstract work and the subcategory of non-representational art. Representational art is designed to represent real life, and non-representational art is the opposite.
