The Principles and Elements of Design an interactive quiz “We Cool” Watercolor by Cathy Tomasik

The Principles and Elements of Design Objective The objective of this interactive quiz is for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the Principles and Elements of Design.

The Elements of Design Line: is a mark with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. Line is the most basic element of design. We make marks, which appear as lines, to communicate in languages both verbal and visual. In the visual language, line is perhaps the most expressive of the elements, and indeed embodies some, if not all, simply by existing. Shape: is a closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares and circles; or organic, like free formed shapes or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and can express length and width. Form: is a three-dimensional shape, expressing length, width, and depth. Balls, cylinders, boxes and triangles are forms.

The Elements of Design Space: is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art when we can create the feeling or illusion of depth we call it space. Color: is light reflected of objects. Color has three main characteristics: hue or its name (red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is), and intensity (how bright or dull it is). Texture: is the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look; for example, a drawing of a porcupine may look prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still smooth.

The Principles of Design Balance: Includes all elements including white space. Can be formal (symmetrical) or informal (asymmetrical). Do not mix both designs. Harmony: Elements blend together in; tone, weight, color, lines, shape and or style. Emphasis: Most important elements are emphasized by; contrast, placement or attention getting devices. Movement: adds excitement to your work by showing action and directing the viewers eye throughout the picture plane. Rhythm: is a type of movement in drawing and painting. It is seen in repeating of shapes and colors. Alternating lights and darks also give a sense of rhythm.

The Principles of Design Unity: is seen in a painting or drawing when all the parts equal a whole. Your work should not appear disjointed or confusing. Proportion: or scale refers to the relationships of the size of objects in a body of work. Proportions gives a sense of size seen as a relationship of objects. such as smallness or largeness. Repetition: works with pattern to make the artwork seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the artwork. Variety: is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through the artwork.

The Principles of Design Choose the one that best represents rhythm and unity. Choose the one that best represents proportion and repetition.

The Principles of Design This image best represents proportion and repetition. The trees are a repetition of elements. The bird is in proportion to the trees.

The Principles of Design This image best represents rhythm and unity. The rhythm is created by the brushstrokes that create the sun, water and tree. Unity it achieved by using the same strokes in the creation of this composition.
