Anticipated motion- The implication of movement on a static two-dimensional surface caused by the viewer’s past experience with a similar situation

Blurred outlines- A visual device in which most details and the edges of a form are lost in the rapidity of the implied movement

Chiaroscuro- The use of light and dark values to imply depth and volume in a two-dimensional work of art

Cropped figure- Cropping a photo around a specific object to make it look like it is moving in or out of the frame

Optical movement- Graphic elements can induce the image on the retina to flicker tricking the brain into thinking/seeing movement

Relative Stillness- even though the picture is still, the elements in the picture convey motion

Value emphasis- Use of a light-and-dark contrast to create a focal point within a composition

Value Contrast- The relationship between areas of dark and light

Value patterns- The arrangement and amount of variation in light and dark values independent of
