2. THE ELEMENTS OF DESIGN The building blocks or ingredients of art. Line Color Shape Form Space Texture

3. LINE ● Used to imply the edge or outline ● Expresses emotion through its character & direction ● Vertical, horizontal, diagonal, fat, thick, thin, straight, curvy, zigzag

11. TEXTURE ● The surface quality of an object ● Actual- smooth, rough, soft, jagged ● Implied- artists create an illusion of texture through technique

12. THE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN Used to organize the Elements of Art: the tools to make art. UNITY (or HARMONY) Proportion & Variety EMPHASIS CONTRAST BALANCE Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, Radial REPETITION Rhythm & Pattern MOVEMENT

13. UNITY Wholeness or oneness achieved through the arrangement of the element & principles. Proportion Variety Johannes Vermeer

14. PROPORTIONPROPORTION The comparative relationship of one part to another with respect to size, quantity, or degree; SCALE. Gustave Caillebotte

15. EMPH A SIS The focal point of an image, or when one area or thing stands out the most.

16. VARIETYVARIETY The use of differences and change to increase the visual interest of the work.

18. BALANCEBALANCE The way the elements are arranged to create a feeling of stability in a work. Symmetrical Asymmetrical Radial

19. Asymmetrical Balance When one side of a compositio n does not reflect the design of the other.

20. SYMMETRICAL BALANCE Parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other.

21. Where the design radiates from a central axis Radial Balance- Radial Balance

22. RHYTHM RHYTHM RHYTHM Repetition of the elements to produce the look and feel of movement.

23. PATTERN and Repetition The repeated use of color, line, shape or design.
