SYMMETRY is when one shape becomes exactly like another if you flip, slide or turn it.The simplest type of Symmetry is "Reflection" (or "Mirror") Symmetry, as shown in this picture of my dog Flam e
DEMOGRAPHICS are the physical characteristics of a population such as age, sex, marital status, family size, education, geographic location, and occupation.
HIERARCHY is an arrangement of items (objects, names, values, categories, etc.) in which the items are represented as being "above," "below," or "at the same level as" one another and with only one "neighbor" above and below each level. These classifications are made with regard to rank, importance, seniority, power status or authority. A hierarchy of power is called a power structure. Abstractly, a hierarchy is simply an ordered set or an acyclic graph.
AESTHETIC in philosophy, is the study of beauty and it is one brand of the philosophy. The word was in Greek term that takes back to Aristotle day. This Aesthetic, back in that day, is defined as a competitive exchange of ideas, making claims upon the loyalty of the mind, keep changing each other. There are no conclusion for aesthetics; it’s a process, however, no an end product. The best way would put all these into word is that in Socrates thought, Aesthetic is a conversation among earnest minds.
PALETTE A palette is the surface on which an artist lays out their colors (paints) as well as the range of colors an artist works with (see for instance Basic Color Palette for Acrylics).
Palettes can be wood, plastic, or a disposable palette where you simply tear off the top sheet from a pad of paper and throw it away when you're finished painting. Special palettes are available foracrylic painting to stop the paint drying out too fast – the paint sits on a sheet of wax paper place on top of a damp piece of watercolor paper.

Adjective List
MULTICOLORED: Printing Capable of printing in two or more colors simultaneously.
PIGMENT: is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. This physical process differs from fluorescence, phosphorescence, and other forms of luminescence, in which a material emits light.
INTENSITY: the strength or sharpness of a color due esp. to its degree of freedom from admixture with its complementary color.
BIOMORPHIC: is a painted, drawn, or sculptured free form or design suggestive in shape of a living organism, esp. an ameba or protozoan: The paintings of Joan Miró are often notable for their playful, bright-colored biomorphs.
VISUAL: perceptible by the sense of sight. Usually, visuals: the picture elements, as distinguished from the sound elements, in films, television, photographs, slides, films, charts, or other visual materials, a rough, preliminary sketch of an advertising layout, showing possible arrangements of material.esp. as used for illustration or promotion. etc. or any item or element depending on the sense of sight.

Principles and Elements of design
Basic Elements of Design
Line is the basic element that refers to the continuous movement of a point along a surface, such as by a pencil or brush. The edges of shapes and forms also create lines. It is the basic component of a shape drawn on paper. Lines and curves are the basic building blocks of two dimensional shapes like a house's plan. Every line has length, thickness, and direction. There are curve, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, wavy, parallel, dash, and dotted lines.
Colour is the most expressive element of art and is seen by the way light reflects off a surface. Color occurs when light hits the surface of an object and is reflected back to the eye and is used to create illusion of depth, as red colors seem to come forward while blue seems to recede into the distance. Color and particularly contrasting color is also used to draw the attention to a particular part of the image.
Texture Texture is the way the surface of an object feels. In art, there are two types of texture: tactile and implied.Examples of this include sandpaper, cotton balls, tree bark, puppy fur, etc.
Shape is an area enclosed by lines. Shapes are two dimensional or in other words flat. Shapes can also show perspective by overlapping. They can be geometric or organic.
Form is any three dimensional object. There are two types of form, geometric and natural. Form may be created by the combining of two or more shapes. It may be enhanced by tone, texture and color.
Basic Principles of Design
Stability No sense of movement, symmetrical, balanced and visually calm.
Dynamics layouts are when elements are placed to create a sense of visual discord and movement within the borders. Elements often are running diagonal and off the page.
Rhythm The recurrence of elements within a piece: colors, lines, shapes, values, etc. Any element that occurs is generally echoed, often with some variation to maintain interest.
Scale(Proportion) involves the relationship of size between objects. Proportion is also relative sizes of surface areas of different colors. Proportion also depends on functionality of object.
