Challenge- something needing great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully.
Rigor- strict precision: exactness
Scale- refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole). In art the size relationship between an object and the human body is significant. In experiencing the scale of an artwork we tend to compare its size to the size of our own bodies.
Meticulous- marked by extreme or excessive care in the consideration or treatment of details.
Intricate- having many complexly interrelating parts or elements.
Detailed- marked by abundant detail or by thoroughness in treating small items or parts.
Precision- the degree of refinement with which an operation is performed or a measurement stated.
Proportion- harmonious relation of parts to each other or to the whole (ex. an orange is smaller than a basketball).
Perseverance- continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition : the action or condition or an instance of persevering : STEADFASTNESS.
Perspective- an art technique for creating an illusion of three-dimensions (depth and space) on a two-dimensional (flat) surface.

Perspective is an art technique for creating an illusion of three-dimensions (depth and space) on a two-dimensional (flat) surface. Perspective is what makes a painting seem to have form, distance, and look "real". The same rules of perspective apply to all subjects, whether it's a landscape, seascape, still life, interior scene, portrait, or figure painting.

Op art, short for optical art, is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. Op art works are abstract, with many better known pieces created in black and white. Typically, they give the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns, or of swelling or warping.
