Vector graphic
* allow image scaling without true loss in the image's integrity
  - viewers to magnify pages to more easily read text and view detailed graphics
* are great because of their easy scaleability
  - line-based graphics
* are more flexible than the common bitmaps that form most of the graphics on the Web
  - suited for line art, illustrations, type and flat-style artwork
  - much smaller than GIFs and JPGs
  - very smooth looking and can easily be resized without loss of image quality
  - well suited to computer handling because they can be mathematically manipulated
* consists of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors.
* create small files that can be scaled without affecting image quality.
* define images through shapes and paths.
* describe an image independent of the resolution of the final rendering device
  - images as outlines with filled regions of color
* draw an image as lines, polygons and text.
* produce high-quality animation at all resolutions, with very small file sizes.
* require much less storage space than raster or bitmapped graphics.
* retain their sharpness when enlarged or reduced.
* tend to have much smaller file sizes than raster-based bitmaps.
* use lines , shapes , and text to create a more complex image
  - mathematical descriptions instead of pixels
  - reference points that draw lines between two points
+ Computer graphics, Subsets of computer graphics, 2D graphics, Vector graphics
  * Vector graphics use lines, shapes, and text to create a more complex image. If a vector graphic image is made very big on the monitor, it will still be as good as its regular size. This is one of the reasons vector graphics are liked so much. Vector graphics are made with programs like Adobe Illustrator and Inkscape, and were used for some older computer games. Today, they are often used for when computer graphics have to be printed out.

Iconography
* consists of drawings of animals or objects.
* represents emotions, spiritual essences, and the unseen forces experienced in dreams.

Watercolor
* are a brilliant and enchanting way of painting
  - art supplies
  - best when painted very thin
  - either transparent or opaque
  - in some ways the opposite of oils
  - landscapes and still- lifes
  - mood creators
  - often mixed in porcelain dishes used for palettes
  - pigment
* can also come in a pencil form
  - come in dry cakes or tubes of paste-like color
* delicate and transparent form of painting.
* dry by evaporation involving no chemical reaction to alter the nature of the color.
* favorite medium of botanical artists.
* is more about light than is gouache.
* refers only to the medium of watercolor paint
  - to aquarelle -transparent films of paint are applied to white, absorbing surfaces
* teaches children to draw and use watercolors.
* transparent medium.
* useful technique for dealing with landscapes, still life and figure studies.

### picture | watercolor:

Gouache
* are watercolors.
* is an opaque watercolor mixed with a gum that produces an oil-like glaze
  - paint that works well for quick, fast-drying studies
  - meant to be used more thickly than traditional watercolors
* looks darker when wet.
* special type of paste that artists use to glaze their work.
