Sequence
Form
Line
Texture.
Of all the design principles, which has the greatest influence and emotional appeal?
Texture
Color
Which defines Emphasis?
The process of differentiating the more important elements of the landscape with the less important
Acts as a control over variety by keeping color, texture and form in proportion with one another
Which defines Line?

The relative size of plants
The three dimensional mass of plants or plant groupings
The flow and connections of spaces, creating rooms
Which is correct about sequencing texture?
In a texture sequence, leave size of adjacent different plants needs to be similar, creating unity.
In a texture sequence, use proportionally smaller numbers of fine textured plants.
In a kidney-shaped planter, place the coarser textures in the inside curve.
In large spaces, sequence from coarser textures to finer textures in the distant corner.
Which describes cool colors?
Restful, stimulating, high scale
Comes forward, cheerful, low scale
Restful, suggests distance, low scale
Conspicuous, cheerful, stimulating
Which term defines Unity?
The change in form, color, and/or texture giving a sense of movement or life to the design
The quality of oneness; that elements of the landscape fit together
A degree of repetition rather than constant change
Diversity and contrast in the use of color, texture, and form preventing monotony
Which defines Sequence?
Diversity and contrast in the use of color, texture, and form preventing monotony.
Which term defines Variety?
Diversity and contrast in form, texture, and color preventing monotony.
Adding a focal point to the design
Dominance of some elements in the design
Which defines Simplicity?
The quality of oneness: that element of the landscape fit together.
Which is correct about texture and distance?
Close-up, texture comes from the mass, of plants and their light and shadows.
At a distance, texture comes from the size, surface, coloring, and spacing of leaves and twigs.
At a distance, texture naturally becomes finer.
Texture is defined the largest plant in the planting bed.
Which defines Texture?
The flow and connections of spaces
Which form leads the eye down to the ground?
Horizontal or spreading
Rounded
Pyramidal
Weeping
Which describes warm colors?
Cheerful, stimulating, comes forward
High scale, restful, comes forward
Low scale, cheerful, recedes
Restful, low scale, recedes
Which is INCORRECT about red / red-orange / orange / orange-yellow / yellow color sequence?
Use equal amounts of each color.
Red would dominate.
Red would be placed at the focal point
Yellow would be the most used color in the bed.
In sequence, what is the trick to give a natural life or flow between planting beds?
Randomly mix colors for maximum color contrasts.
Place colors in interlocking kidney (crescent) shape groupings.
Place colors in rows with alternating color contrasts.
Place colors in rows, sequencing from light to dark.
Which defines Absolute Scale?
Acts as a control over variety by keeping color, texture, and form in proportion with one another
The relative size or value of objects in the landscape
A measurement of the relative size or comparative value of landscape elements to a fixed structure, like a house
In landscape design theory, which would be a good color combination?
2/3 light blue and 1/3 dark blue
Purple / bluish-purple / purplish-blue/ blue
1/2 light blue and 1/2 dark blue
Red-white-red-white
Which makes the most effective plant combination?
Neatly step plants down in height from the fence line down to the lawn in the center
Combine adjacent plants with opposite characteristics
For appeal, repeat color contrast along the bed, like red-white-red-white
Plant in bold lines from light to darker colors
Which term is equilibrium between left and right giving curiosity, movement, and a feeling of being alive?
Formal balance
Informal simplicity
Formal scale
Informal balance
Which is INCORRECT about texture sequence?
In a texture sequence, use proportionally larger numbers of fine textured plants.
In a kidney-shaped planter, place the finer textures in the inside curve.
In a texture sequence, leaf size of adjacent plants should be similar.
Which form emphasis the lateral extent and breath of space and is comfortable due to mirroring the natural movement of the eye?
Which is correct about red / red-orange / orange / orange-yellow / yellow color sequence?
Yellow would be placed at the focal point
Orange would dominate.
