Altarpiece : In Christian church architecture, the picture or decorated screen behind the altar. It may consist of a single painting or an elaborate group of hinged panels.
Allegory : An allegory is the description of a subject in the guise of another subject. An allegorical painting might include figures emblematic of different emotional states of mind, for example envy or love, or personifying other abstract concepts, for example sight, glory, or beauty. These are called allegorical figures. The interpretation of an allegory therefore depends first on the identification of such figures, but even then the meaning can remain elusive.
Alla prima : Technique, commonly used in painting since the 19th century, whereby an artist completes a painting in one session without having provided layers of underpainting.
All-over space : Jackson Pollock was the first artist to use all-over space in his “drip” paintings. It refers to paintings where there is no focal point but where everything on the canvas has the same degree of importance.
Airbrush : Instrument for spraying paint, propelled by compressed air. Invented in 1893, it has been much used by commercial artists, whether for fine lines, large areas, or subtle gradations of colour and tone.

African Art : Guide to classical African sculpture, religious and tribal artworks and more.
Aesthetics : Philosophy applied to art, which attempts to formulate criteria for the understanding of the aesthetic (rather than utilitarian) qualities of art.
Aerial perspective : A way of suggesting the far distance in a landscape by using paler colours (sometimes tinged with blue), less pronounced tones, and vaguer forms in those areas that are farthest from the viewer. By contrast objects in the foreground are painted in sharply outlined, brilliant, and warm colours, and background objects are shown in muted, cooler colours.
Aegean Art : From various cultures around the eastern Mediterranean from c.2800 BCE to 1400 BCE, including Cycladic, Minoan (from Crete), and Mycenean.
Abstract art : Ill-defined and very widely used term which in its most general sense describes any art in which form and colour are stressed at the expense, or in the absence of, a representational image. Also known as concrete art or non-objective art.
Academic art : Literally, belonging to an Academy of art. Also: derogatory term meaning conventional, stereotyped, derivative.

Water : A polar inorganic compound with the chemical formula H2O that is a tasteless, odorless, and generally colorless liquid at standard temperature and pressure, though it also occurs naturally as a solid and a gas at the Earth’s surface. It is the most abundant substance on Earth and therefore an integral component of virtually all chemical and biological systems. Water is often described as the “universal solvent” for its inherent ability to dissolve many substances.

Voltmeter : An instrument that measures electrical cell potential.
Viscosity : A measure of the resistance of a liquid to flow.
Volatility : A material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes. At a given temperature and pressure, a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a gas, while a substance with low volatility is more likely to exist as a liquid or solid; equivalently, less volatile substances will more readily condense from a gaseous state than highly volatile ones.
Volt (V) : A derived unit of electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force, defined as one joule of work per coulomb.
Vaporization :
The phase transition of a substance from a liquid to a gas.
Vapor pressure :
The pressure exerted by a vapor which is in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases (solid or liquid) at a given temperature in a closed system. It is commonly described as the tendency of particles to spontaneously escape from the liquid or solid state into the gaseous state and is used as an indication of a liquid’s evaporation rate.
Vapor : When a substance is below the critical temperature while in the gas phase.
Van der Waals force : One of the forces (attraction/repulsion) between molecules.
Valency : The combining capacity of an element.
Van ‘t Hoff factor : The ratio of moles of particles in solution to moles of solute dissolved.
Valence bond theory : A theory explaining the chemical bonding within molecules by discussing valencies, the number of chemical bonds formed by an atom.
Valence electron : Any of the outermost electrons of an atom, which are located in electron shells.
Vacuum flask :
A storage vessel consisting of two flasks or other containers, placed one within the other and joined at the neck, and a space in between that is partially evacuated of air, creating a near-vacuum that significantly reduces the transfer of heat between the vessel’s interior and its ambient environment. Vacuum flasks can greatly lengthen the time over which their contents remain warmer or cooler than the ambient environment.
