1 Elements of Design The seven basic building blocks of art & design.

2 LINE SHAPE COLOR VALUE TEXTURE SPACE FORM Design Elements BALANCE VARIETY MOVEMENT CONTRAST EMPHASIS PROPORTION UNITY Design Principles

3 A mark that can have thickness, direction & movement. Lines can be interrupted and can show emotion in an artwork. Line

4 Organic Line Geometric Line Interrupted Line Gestural Line Contour Line Varied Line

5 When a line curves or corners around and ends where it began it becomes a shape. Shape

6 Organic Shape Geometric Shape Overlapping shape

7 Color has three main properties: 1.Hue 2.Value 3.Intensity Color

8 HUE: The name of a color VALUE: The lightness or darkness of a color INTENSITY: The brightness or dullness of a color

9 Color WARM & COOL

10 The lightness or darkness of a hue. Value

11 Tints: add white to create a lighter color Value creates the illusion of volume, light & space Shades: add black to create a darker color.

12 The implied or actual surface quality: Smooth, rough, bumpy, glossy, etc. Texture

13

14 Hatching & Cross Hatching Line can be used to create value and textures

15 Stippling Small marks/dots can be used to create value and textures

16 The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D compositions; occupied & unoccupied space. Space

17

18 The quality of a shape; the illusion of volume. Ex. Cubes, spheres and cones Form

19

20 Principles of Design The basic rules of aesthetics that guide in the organization of elements in a work of art.

21 LINE SHAPE COLOR VALUE TEXTURE SPACE FORM Design Elements BALANCE VARIETY MOVEMENT CONTRAST EMPHASIS PROPORTION UNITY Design Principles

22 An appearance of evenness in an artwork. There are two kinds: Symmetry & Asymmetry Balance

23 Radial Vertical Horizontal Asymmetrical

24 A large difference between elements. Green and Red, dark and light, large and small, thin and thick, bright and dull. Contrast

25

26 Where an artist draws attention to one or more parts of a composition. Emphasis

27

28 The path the viewer’s eye is directed to take by the artist’s choice of elements such as line. Movement

29

30 Small differences in elements within a composition. Variety in sizes, colors, etc. Variety

31

32 Variety - Pattern Pattern uses the art elements in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

33 The relationship of size in a composition in relation to how they are viewed in reality. Proportion

34

35 Unity A sense that all of the parts belong together creating a cohesive composition; nothing is out of place.
