Art Word of the Day: Angle

in #wordoftheday6 years ago (edited)

Term: Angle

Definition: An angle is a figure

formed by two lines or edges diverging from or crossing a common point (vertex) an acute angle being less than 90, a right angle being 90, and an obtuse angle being greater than 90 but less than 180 measured with a protractor. Or, the figure formed by two planes diverging from a common line. "Angle" can refer to the space between such lines or surfaces, and it can also refer to a direction or point of view. Among the kinds of lenses, a wide-angle lens is the opposite of a telephoto lens. Also see aculeate, angle of incidence, align, bevel, bias, chamfer, Daguerreotype, fold, miter, negative, perpendicular, point, positive, straight, tangent, and undercut.


Art Word of the Day

Every day I make an attempt to add a little bit more art knowledge to the Internet, one word at a time. Realizing there aren’t many comprehensive and complete online art dictionaries, I set out on a mission to compile my own.
