1. Painterly – Showing the qualities of color, stroke, and texture rather than of line.

2. Movement- the path your eye follows in a work of art

3. Narrative painting- painting that shows a single place and time of a story including characters, setting, and action

4. Unity- provides the quality that makes an artwork complete; formed as a whole because of their organization (think connection, overlapping is a good trick)

5. Focal point- (emphasis) making a specific area of an art piece to be seen or stand out from the rest of it
