[An image which captures our attention and is pleasing to us always has a good compatition. A good composition includes mary of the elements of design working with the principles of design. For example colors an element and balance, + principle, i the arrangement of color so that one side orsection of a work of art doesritlook heavier or stronger than the other and isn visual balance. Also, movernent a principle, uses colo, ine, ang shape todiect the viewer's eye from one part ofa design toanother. Unity, a principe. isthe resut of all the clements and principles working together. What are the concepts ofeach? Elements of Design contour fines; hatching and crass-hatching: gestural lines; implied lines; and expressive lines. Shaper geometric and organic shapes; positive and negative shapes; abstract shapes; and outlined shapes. Form: geometric, organic, and natural forms; realistic abstract. and nonobjective forms. Color: primary and secondary colors; warm, cool, and neutral colors, color value; hue;and intensity. INTRODUCTION Valuezhigh key — light — and low key — dark — paintings; value contrasts; graded values; and values in atmospheric perspective Texture: actual and simulated texture; textures in febric, wood, metal, and in nature. ‘Space: two-dimensional and three-cimensional space; creating space with difterent sized and overlapping shapes; and linear perspective. Principles of Design Balance: symmetrical ard asymmetrical balance; radial balance; value, shape, color, and texture balance. ‘Movement: linear movement: visual movement with lines and shapes, value, and perspective, Rhythm: regular, regular, and progressive thythms; repetition of colors, shapes, and lines to create rhythm, Contrast: value contrast: color intensity; texture, shape, and warm and cool color contrast. Emphasis: color dominance. focal areas, and visual ‘emphesis with shapes. Pattern: planned or random repetitions of colors, lines, values, and textures to create patterns. Unity color, texture, shopes, and value ere used to create unity, Tow do Luse this Student Guide?
