    The document discusses key elements of design including point, line, plane, and volume. It describes their properties and how they relate to one another. For example, it states that a point extended becomes a line, a line extended becomes a plane, and a plane extended becomes a volume. The document also discusses how lines and forms can be used to direct the viewer's eye or create a sense of movement/motion. Finally, it briefly introduces the concepts of dimensional, subtractive, and additive transformations that can alter the properties of a form while potentially retaining aspects of its initial identity.

    ELEMENTS OF DESIGN

    POINT
    ·The two ends of a line
    ·The intersection of two lines
    ·The meeting of lines at the corner of a plane or
    volume
    ·The center of a field
    POINT

    LOCATION
    (IN COORDINATES)
    LINE
    • A point extended becomes a line with properties of:

    ·Length
    ·Direction
    ·Position
    LINES CREATE FORMS WHICH GIVE THE VIEWER A
    PERCEPTION OF THE WHOLE IMAGE.
    LINES CAN EMPHASIZE A SUBJECT OR CREATE A
    SENSE OF MOTION CREATING MOVEMENT AND
    ENHANCING THE VISUAL EFFECT OF A SUBJECT
    LEADING LINES MAKE THE VIEWER’S EYES
    TRAVEL TOWARDS THE SUBJECT
    PLANE
    • A line extended becomes a plane with properties of:

    · Length and width


    · Shape
    · Surface
    · Orientation
    · Position
    PLANE

    WHAT WILL YOU PICK?

    2 pcs of 12” DIA PIZZA
    18” DIA. PIZZA A = 113.10 sq. in x 2

    A = 254.47 sq. in A = 226.20 sq in


    VOLUME
    • A plane extended becomes a volume with properties of:

    · Length, width, depth


    · Form and space
    · Surface
    · Orientation
    · Position
    SPACE DEFINITION

    FORM TRANSFORMATION
    Dimensional Transformation
    a form can be transformed by altering one or more of its dimensions and still retain
    its identity as a member of a family of forms. A cube, for example, can be
    transformed into similar prismatic forms through discrete changes in height, length
    or width.
    FORM TRANSFORMATION
    Subtractive Transformation:

    a form can be transformed by subtracting a portion of its volume.


    Depending on the extent of the subtractive process, the form can still
    retain its initial identity or be transformed into a form of another family.
    FORM TRANSFORMATION
    Additive Transformation:

    a form can be transformed by the addition of elements to its volume. The


    nature of the additive process and the number and relative sizes of the
    elements being attached determine whether the identity of the initial form
    is altered or retained.
