#### **Part 3: Short Answer**
**11.** Proportion refers to the relationship between
the sizes of different elements in a work of art. For
example, in a realistic portrait, the proportions of the
facial features (eyes, nose, mouth) must be accurate
relative to one another to create a natural likeness.
**12.** Shape refers to a two-dimensional, flat object
with height and width, such as a circle or square. Form,
on the other hand, refers to three-dimensional objects
that have height, width, and depth, like a sphere or
cube.
**13.** Movement can be shown in art through lines,
shapes, and the arrangement of elements that guide the
viewer’s eye across the artwork, creating a sense of
motion. For example, diagonal lines or the repetition of
shapes in a wavy pattern can suggest movement.
