What do you think?
Do artists start an artwork and hope for the best or do artists use planning and rules?
Artists use rules!!
Do you remember what are these rules called?
ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES
Elements of Design
The elements of design are the seven basic building blocks of art & design.
Without these building blocks the principles are meaningless. Think of them as “Legos:” parts, pieces or elements of something
bigger or whole. We use directions and rules to make something.
Principles of Design
The basic rules of aesthetics that guide in the organization of elements in a work of art.
Without these directions the elements are meaningless. Think of them as “Legos Directions:” Rules or steps to utilize
many different, similar and identical elements to create a meaningful, cohesive and understandable piece of artwork.

Design Principles
A mark. Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and
can show emotion in an artwork.
Line
Element of Line
Element of Line
Contour lines- outline the edges of forms or shapes
Gestural lines- indicate action and physical movement
A mark. Lines have thickness, direction, and movement; they can be interrupted and
can show emotion in an artwork.
Line
1. Add definition for: Line2. Draw an example of an Interrupted Line in
the 1st box 3. Draw an example of a Varied Line that
starts thin and gets thicker in the 2nd box
Element of Line
Line that has a natural or imperfect path rather than a rigid or geometric path.
Organic Line
1. Add definition for: Organic Line2. Draw an example of Organic Line in the 3rd
box.
Element of Line
Line that has a rigid or mathematically correct path and is not free flowing.
Geometric Line
1. Add definition for: Geometric Line2. Draw an example of Geometric Line in the
4th box.
Element of Line
Element of Shape
When line curves or corners around and crosses over itself it becomes a shape.
GEOMETRICsquare, triangle, rectangle, rhombus, circle, cone
ORGANICfree form shapes, shapes in nature for example:
leaves, trees, clouds, animals
When a line curves or corners around and crosses over it self it becomes a shape
Shape
1. Add definition for: Shape2. Create: Overlapping Shapes in the 1st box.
Element of Shape
Shape that has a natural or imperfect path rather than a rigid or geometric path.
Organic Shape
1. Add definition for: Organic Shape2. Draw an example of Organic Shape in the
2nd box.
Element of Shape
Shape that has a rigid or mathematically correct path and is not free flowing.
Geometric Shape
1. Add definition for: Geometric Shape2. Draw an example of Geometric Shape in the
3rd box.
Element of Shape
Color has three properties:1. The first is:
Hue: The name of a color
2. The second property of color is:
Value: the lightness or darkness of a hue
3. The third property of color is:
Intensity: the purity of a hue; the brightness or dullness of a hue
Element of Color
Value: Tints and Shades
Tints-adding the color
Shades- adding the color
white
black
Value
Value contrasts help us
to see and understand a
two-dimensional work of art.
Value describes form and value defines space.
Intensity: Neutral Colors
These colors are made by adding a complimentary color (opposite on the color wheel) to a hue. Neutralized hues are called tones.
Warm and Cool Colors
The name of a specific color
Hue
1. Add definition for: Hue
Element of Color
Color Temperature
1. Using colored pencils, fill in 3 Warm colors in the 1st three circles.
2. Using colored pencils, fill in 3 cool colors in the 2nd three circles.
Element of Color
A color that is neither cool nor warm. Neutrals are made by mixing two complimentary colors together.
Neutral
1. Add definition for: Neutral2. Using colored pencils, fill in 4 neutral
colors in the circles.1. White2. Black3. Brown4. Grey
Element of Color
The lightness or darkness of a hue.
Value
1. Add definition for: Value2. Using colored pencils draw a Value scale (gradual
transition from light to hue to dark) in the 1st long box. Start with lightest tint moving into hue moving into the darkest shade - USE CRAFTSMANSHIP!
Element of Color
1. Add definition for: Intensity 2. Using colored pencils (from black pouch) , draw an
Intensity scale in the 2nd long box. Start with 1 hue moving into the neutral moving into the complimentary hue - USE CRAFTSMANSHIP!
The brightness or dullness of a hue.
Intensity
Element of Color
Element of Texture
Textures are all around us in our environment, textures are the quality of a surface.
Actual texture – texture that you can feel with your sense of touch.
Implied texture – texture that has been simulated in drawing and painting on a smooth surface to appear as if it is textured.
Hatching and Cross Hatching
Line can be used to create value and textures
Hatching
Cross Hatching
Stippling
Small marks, dots or shapes can be used to create value and textures
Stippling
The quality of a surface
Texture
1. Add definition for: Texture
Element of Texture
The way something actually feels.
Actual Texture
1. Add definition for: Actual Texture2. Write 3 examples of Actual texture on the
lines provided.
Element of Texture
The way something appears to feel.
Implied Texture
1. Add definition for: Implied Texture2. Draw 4 examples of Implied texture in the boxes
provided.1. Stippling2. Hatching3. Cross Hatching4. Your choice
Element of Texture
Element of Space
The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks.
Around, above, inside, outside, positive or negative.
The feeling of space in a drawing or painting is always an illusion.
Artists combine the use of light and dark value with other techniques.
Linear perspective, and atmospheric perspective create the illusion of space.
Linear perspective“Snow in New York”
The amount of depth in both 2D and 3D artworks
Space
1. Add definition of: Space2. Draw a mini picture in the 1st box provided. Label
the positive space and the negative space.3. Draw a mini picture in the 2nd box provided
showing how things get smaller and lighter as they travel further into the background.
Element of Space
Element of Form
In 3D artworks it is the quality of the shape.
Form describes volume and mass, or the three-dimensional aspects of objects that take up space.
Forms can be realistic, abstract, geometric, organic etc… Form is considered three-dimensional showing height, width and depth. It
can be illustrated or constructed.
1. Add definition of: Form2. Draw a plain circle in the 1st box provided.
This circle does not show form3. Re-Draw the sphere you see below in the 2nd
box provided . This sphere shows form.
Element of Form
