  1. Element of Art: -The building blocks of art. -The actual physical pieces of an artwork. -A piece can contain several elements, possibly all. Principle of Art: -The “rules” of art. -A piece can demonstrate several principles, possibly all. -The definitions often contain elements.

  2. Elements of Art

  3. Line- Continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. Lines can also be made with wire or other thin material cutting through space. Ex. Wavy, straight, curved, zig zag, etc.

  4. Shape- Enclosed space defined by lines or other elements of art: circle, square or triangle. Shapes are flat (2D). Shapes can be geometric or organic.

  5. Color- Made up of hue (the actual color), intensity (the brightness or dullness of a color), and value (the lightness or darkness of a color).

  6. Value- Describes lightness or darkness of a color. Shadows are made in drawings, they are cast in sculptures.

  7. Form- A three-dimensional element that encloses volume: cubes, spheres, cones. Form is implied in drawings, but is actual in 3D work. You can have geometric or organic forms

  8. Space- Distance around, above, between, or within things. Space is implied in drawings, space is real in 3D work.

  9. Texture- Quality or “feel” of an object. Texture can be implied like the drawing on the right, or real like the wire mesh on the sofa sculpture.

  10. Principles of Design

  11. Balance-sense of stability created by repeating same shapes and forms and by creating a feeling of equal weight.

  12. Pattern: repetition

  13. Emphasis- refers to developing points of interest to pull the viewer’s eye to important parts of the body of work.

  14. Contrast-juxtaposition of elements in an artwork. Juxtaposition is a fancy word for opposites. Light and dark, bold and dull, etc.

  15. Unity-when all parts equal a strong whole and work does not appear disjointed or confusing.

  16. Harmony-achieved by using similar elements throughout the work, harmony gives an uncomplicated look to work.

  17. Rhythm-type of movement made by repeating shapes and colors.

  18. Movement-shows action directs the eye around the piece.

  19. Variety- refers to differences in work.

  20. Proportion-refers to relationships of the size of objects within a work.
