gradatie

a gradual transition from one value, tone, hue or color to another

What is "gradation"?

Gradation is a technique in art and design that involves a smooth, gradual transition from one value, tone, hue, or color to another. Artists use this method to create depth, dimension, and a realistic look in their work. For examples, an artist might use gradation to blend colors smoothly in a sunset sky or to shade a drawing to give it a three-dimensional appearance. This approach helps achieve a natural and lifelike effect by avoiding sudden changes and creating a continuous flow.

volume

the amount of space that a substance or object takes or the amount of space inside an object

What is "volume"?

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance or object. It can also refer to the capacity or internal space within an object. Volume is typically measured in units such as liters or cubic meters and is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object or by using specific formulas for irregular shapes. In the context of liquids or gases, volume is often expressed as the amount of fluid that can be contained within a given container. Volume is a fundamental concept in physics, chemistry, engineering, and other scientific disciplines, and it plays a crucial role in various applications, including the design of containers and the measurement of quantities in everyday life.

ounce

a unit for measuring weight equal to approximately 28.34 grams

What is "ounce"?

An ounce is a unit of mass or weight commonly used in various contexts, including commerce, cooking, and science. It is abbreviated as "oz." One ounce is equal to approximately 28.3495 grams. In terms of weight measurement, there is no difference between the US and UK ounce. However, the US and UK ounces differ slightly when used as a unit of volume measurement for liquids, a measurement more commonly known as the fluid ounce. So, it is important to specify which system is being used in order to ensure accurate measurements.
