Please revise the following concepts and their definitions for your vocabulary test #1 on Wednesday, April 26th.

5 Art concepts and definitions:

1. Composition: The intentional organization or contrast, balance, arrangement or awareness of the elements and principles of art for a particular purpose in the creation of art. These may include tension and release, repetition and variety, unison and harmony, sound and silence, theme and variation, and dynamics and energy.
2. Expression: The representation of feelings and emotions, ideas, thoughts, beliefs, values, and opinions in the process of visual or physical articulation. It can include signs, symbols, semiotics or any other imagery to capture the artist's intention. It is something you do, create or play that shows what you think or feel. Expression facilitates the communication of an idea.
3. Interpretation: The understanding of experiences and events mainly through the reference frame of our own reality and contexts. The understanding of the meaning of an artist’s creative work and artistic expressions. An artist’s distinctive personal version expressed by stylistic individuality.
4. Representation: The description, depiction or portrayal of a person, group, place or item in a particular way or as being of a certain nature. An image or likeness.
   5. Context: The facts or circumstances that surround an event or situation.
