BALANCE
 Unity in an artwork creates a sense
of harmony and wholeness, by
using similar elements within the
composition and placing them in a Going Home, Jacob Lawrence
way that brings them all together.
 Variety adds interest by using
contrasting elements within the
composition.

The Migration Series, Jacob Lawrence

 It is how the elements
within a composition are
arranged either
symmetrically,
asymmetrically, or radially Chariot, Alberto Giacometti
to create the impression of
equality in weight or
importance.

The Evening Glow of the Ando, Suzuki Haranobu

 EMPHASIS AND
SUBORDINATION

 Emphasis is used in art to

attract the viewer's attention to a
particular area or object. This is
typically the focal point or main
subject of the artwork.
 Subordination is simply any of
the five elements that are
emphasized less than the Yacht Approaching the Coast,
Joseph Mallord William Turner
dominant ones.
 CONTRAST

It refers to the

arrangement of opposite
elements and effects. 
Wheatfield with Crows,
Vincent Van Gogh
 REPETITION
AND RHYTHM

 Repetition is the simplest

element you can use.
 Pattern/Rhythm is a
combination of elements that
are repeated. Rhythm involves
using intervals or spaces
between elements to give the
user an impression of rhythm or
movement. The Maestà, or Maestà of Duccio,
Duccio di Buoninensigna
 SCALE AND
PROPORTION

Scale and proportion

are both design
elements that have to
do with size to make Zapatistas, Jose Clemente Orozeo
the work of art
realistic.

Perspective
Line is a mark made using a drawing
tool or brush.
Lines are marks moving in a space
between two points whereby a viewer
can visualize the stroke movement,
direction, and intention based on how the
line is oriented. Lines describe an outline,
capable of producing texture according to
their length and curve.
SHAPE
Shapes can play important
roles in the creation of art.
They help to create
complex drawings and
paintings, affect
composition, and
contribute to the balance
within a work.
SPACE
It is a basic art element that
refers to the distance
between the area around
and within shapes, forms,
colors, and lines. Space
can be positive or negative.
It includes the background,
foreground, and middle
ground.
VALUE
It is essentially how
light or dark
something is on a
scale of white to
black (with white
being the highest
value and black
being the lowest
value). 
COLOR

Color can be used to evoke

a certain mood or to create
a message or sharp
response in the viewer.
Colors can be described as
warm (red, yellow) or cool
(blue, gray), depending
on which end of the color
spectrum they fall.
TEXTURE
It refers to the surface quality
in a work of art.

It is used to describe the way a

three-dimensional work actually
feels when touched. In two-
dimensional work, such as
painting, it may refer to
the visual "feel" of a piece.

In painting, drawing, and

printmaking, an artist often
implies texture through the use
of brushstrokes lines 
PERSPECTIVE
It is a technique for
creating the illusion of
depth and space (three
dimensions) on a flat
surface. Perspective is
what makes a work of art
appear to have form,
dimension, distance, and
space. In other words, it
makes the work of art
look realistic.
