ELEMENTS OF ART
1. LINE- used for a wide
range of purposes: stressing a
word or phrase, connecting
content to one another,
creating patterns, dividing up
space and much more.
- create a sense of movement
or direction in your design.
2. Shape- can be used to create
a pattern, organize and divide
space, and draw the viewer’s
attention.
CATEGORIES OF SHAPE
Geometric Shapes- circles, squares,
rectangles and triangles. (architecture and
manufactured items)
Organic Shapes- leaf, seashells, flowers. We
see them in nature and with characteristics that
are free flowing, informal and irregular.
Positive Shapes- In a drawing or painting
positive shapes are the solid form in a design
such as a bowl of fruit. In a sculpture it is the
form of the sculpture.
Negative Shapes- In a
drawing it is the space
around the positive shape or
the shape around the bowl of
fruit. In sculpture it is empty
shape around and between
the sculptures.
Static Shape-
Shapes that appears
stable and resting.
Dynamic Shape-
Shapes that appears
moving and active.
3. COLOR
Visual perception seen by the human eye.
used to generate
emotions, create unity,
make something stand
out, and generally create
visual interest.
Categories of Color
- Color wheel a tool used to organize color.

PRINCIPLES OF ART
• principles of good design are the tools every artist uses to
create an effective composition.
These tools are: balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, proportion,
repetition, simplicity, space and unity.
• How well an artist understands the uses these tools will determine if
the composition is a weak or strong one.
• desired outcomes should be a work of art that is both unified and
aesthetically pleasing to look at. In a series of discussions well
take a look to each one of these principle.
Principles of Design- are the artistic
guidelines used to organize or arrange the
structural elements of design.
Principles of Design
Balance- is the concept of visual
equilibrium, and relates to our
physical sense of balance.
Kinds of Balance
Asymmetrical Balance - it
involves placement of objects
in a way that will allow objects
of
varying visual weight to
balance one another around a
central point.
Kinds of Balance
Symmetrical balance –
described as having
equal weight on equal
sides of a centrally
placed fulcrum.
Bilateral symmetry –
when the elements are
arranged equally o
either side of central
axis.
Radial Balance - this axis
may be horizontal or vertical.
It is also possible to build
formal balance by arranging
elements equally around a
central point
Rhythm- refers to a regular
repetition of elements of art to
produce the look and feel of
movement. It is often achieved
through the careful placement of
repeated components which invite
the viewers eyes to jump rapidly
from one to another
Emphasis- creates
focal point in the
design composition;
it is how we bring
attention to what is
important in it.
Contrast- is simply
defined as difference.
Difference between
elements or subject
with a work of art or
composition.

Movement- is a visual
flow of your design.
It’s the path that you
intended your viewer’s
eye to follow.

Harmony- is a visual
design means all part of
the visual image relate to
and complements each
other.

Repetition- helps
to create patterns.
When you repeat
the use of any
design element, it
is also creates
cohesiveness.
Unity- refers how well
the elements of design
work together. Visual
elements should have
clear relationship with
each other in a design.
Proportion- refers
to the size of an
object in
relationship to
another object.
