Elements Of Art && Principles Of Design

Line - marks made by a tool and can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

Shape - are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world.

Color  - color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. They also who the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, and analogous colors next to each other.

Value (Tone) - refers to dark and light. It helps us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art

Form - describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

Texture - refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

Space - refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. It can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional


Principles OF Design

Balance - is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are 3 different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radia.

Contrast - created by using elements that conflict with one another, and it is often created using complementary colors or extremely light & dark values.

Emphasis - The focal area of an artwork that gives it importance

Movement - means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of edges, shapes, and colors that often lead to the focal areas. It is a visual flow through the composition.

Pattern - is when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.












Rhythm - is the repetition of shapes, lines and forms, it is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly

Unity - means that all the elements in artwork are in harmony.
