Tutorial
In response to a request, I'm sharing my art-related signed terms as well as a few neologisms.
Note: This video is not for ASL beginners nor intermediate level. The signing and fingerspelling speed are a norm. The list of terms are below the video.
The following vocabulary includes in the video: composition, harmony, movement, unity, variety, balance, rhythm, emphasis, contrast, propotion, pattern, re, assemtry, symmetry, color wheel, complementary (color), primary color, secondary color, color theory, color, texture, line, shape, space, tone value, repetition, abstract, paint, charcoal, pastel, oil pastel, positive space, negative space. Bonus: calligraphy (East), characters (Asian writing), pictograph, hieroglyphs, text...
That's all I could think of for now.
Both educational and entertaining. I definitely feel like my receptive fingerspelling skills have improved after watching this. Thanks for the video. -- Austin German, 2014.
