1. 1- 2 planes can meet at a commen edge as when a paper shape is folded. 2- an edge of one place can abut a face of another. 3- 2 planes can interpenetrate, pass through one another.

2. 
Enviornmental Plane- A structure that can help to define the space in which a planar object finds itself. For example a desk top, shelves, the surface of the earth, walls, floors, ect. Architectural Place- Is a form that from the outside is regarded as a solid mass and on the interior as a series of volumes. In an architectural plane all the environmental planes colaberate to create a closed off space of shapes.

3. An architectonic form is a form that consists of both vertical and horizontal planes that is commonly used in the design world. A) the regular geometric shape encorporating the features of rectangles, triangles, or circles. B) Primary emphasis on horizontals and verticals for structural reasons C) A contrast of interior and exterior space with attention to the transitions between them

4. Reflective surfaces, like mirrors, create an illusion of space that’s entering a closed surface like a wall, this opens up an imaginary sense of space for a closed environment.

 5. Planes can define volume by virtue of their shape, for example a square could be a slice or cross section of a cube.

1.            Organization- Overall pattern that unites an object together in a comprehensive purposeful way.

2.            Synergy- A way to describe an element in art of which the individual pieces of the work seem mundane but combined they create a startling and expressive whole.

3.            Order and freedom- The balance of keeping the richness of a free unorderly piece of art, but also maintaining the unified, and there for easier for the viewer to accept and view, quality of ordered art.

4.            Structure and unity- The approach of using a more fomalized and mathematical system to unify a piece.

5.            Symmetry- A system of balancing a piece by using systematic repeating patterns of form within a composition.

6.            Repetition within variety- A piece that repeats certain elements but varies others, for example it may have unified colors through out the piece but different special realtions between each object.

7.            Rhythm and gradation- Artwork with systematic repetition that’s interrupted by intervals of change.
