9) Distortion

In distortion, an artist deliberated alters or exaggerates the characteristics of something, setting it apart from it's natural form.

This Picasso painting exhibits distortion among the woman's facial features and body parts.  Some are smaller or larger than others or placed somewhere it naturally wouldn't appear.
