SHAPE
defined as having some sort of
outline or boundary, whether the shape
is two or three dimensional.
( natural, irregular, rectangle, oval, etc.)

FORM
includes shape and perceived volume,
form gives shape to a piece of art, whether it is the constraints
of a line in a painting or the edge of the sculpture. The shape
can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional restricted to height
and weight, or it can be free-flowing.
 LINE
A line in art is primarily a dot or
series of dots. The dots form a line, which
can vary in thickness, color, and shape. A
line is a two-dimensional shape unless the
artist gives it volume or mass.

COLOR
element that produced when light
strikes an image. It is derived from the
reflected or absorbed light and definitely
creates the mood of the artist. Its
properties include the ff: (hue, intensity,
SPACE
is the area around the focal
point of the art piece and might be
positive or negative, shallow or
deep, open, or closed.
TEXTURE
denotes the smoothness,
ruggedness of the image or object.
It may be ‘real’, similar to that
when we touch a sculpture.

VALUE
refers to how adding black
or white to color changes the shade
of the original color. The lightness
or darkness of tones or colors.
PRINCI
PLES
 BALANCE
in a piece of art refers to
the distribution of weight or the
apparent weight of the piece,
creating balance visually and
structurally.

CONTRAST
refers to differences in
values, colors, shapes and other
elements, too much contrast can
ruin the art.
EMPHASIS
given dominance by the artist, can
be color, unity, balance, or any other
principle or element of art used to create a
focal point. In other words the artist
makes perfect of the work stand out, in
order to draw the viewer’s eye there first.

Rhythm/Movement
Rhythm in a piece of art denotes a
type of repetition used to either
demonstrate movement or expanse.
 PROPORTION is the
relationship between items in a
painting, for example, between the
sky and mountains. If the sky is
more than two-thirds of the
painting, it looks out of proportion,
SCALE and PROPORTION then SCALE in art is similar to
UNITY and VARIETY proportion
UNITY conveys a sense of
completeness, pleasure when viewing
the art, and cohesiveness to the art, and
how the patterns work together brings
unity to the picture or object. As the
opposite of unity, VARIETY should
provoke changes and awareness in the
PATTERN
is the way of something that
is organized and repeated in its
shape or form and can flow without
much structure in some random
repetition.
