Formal Elements

This slide show shows my understanding of the formal

elements: line, texture, tone/ contrast, shape, space,

colour and form.

Line 1: this image demonstrates a clear

understanding of the formal element line.

This image shows vertical lines. this line gives

the effect of the eye drawing itself down the

image.

Line 2: the lines in this photograph emphasizes the

organic shape of the shell.

Line 3: this photograph is of a rollercoaster which

shows many types of line such as diagonal, vertical

horizontal, curved and straight lines.

Texture1: The vibrant colours in this image

create impact and enhance the texture of the

salad.

Texture 2: this photograph of sushi shows the texture

of the sushi and fish eggs on top. The fish eggs

texture can suggest its smooth texture whereas the

main sushi can suggest a rough texture.

Texture 3:This image shows the fine texture of fur.

Texture 4: This image shows a very creamy texture.

Contrast 1: This is a photo of a black and white kitten to

portray contrast.

Contrast 2: This coffee shows a gradient effect which can act as

contrast, contrast for how it changes from dark to light.

Contrast 3: this image of contrast shows the changing

from dark to light sky colour.

Form 1: this photograph of ‘form’ shows how the light hits

the object to make it look 3D and emphasises it's shape

and volume.

Form 2: this image of form shows a hand and how it looks 3d.

Form 3: This image of a shell shows form and the

curved horizontal lines enhance this idea.

Space 1: this image of space shows positive and negative space a with the sky

to help with a little bit of contrast to make this idea better.

Space 2: this photograph also portrays space.

Space 3: I have been inspired by a photographer

named Andre kertesz. I have chosen to take this photo

of space like he has because it demonstrates a clear

understanding of positive and negative space, also

instead of using a fork and a plate I have decided to

use a comb and a plate to change up the idea. Andre Kertesz

Colour 1: this image has a bright pop of colour and

shows primary colours and complementary colours

with the green and red icing put together.

Colour 2: this image shows how some parts of the rocks have been

saturated and how the colour is very eye catching.

Colour 3: This image of colour also shows the popcorn having colour but

to really exaggerate the colour in this image , some aspects of the photo

have been saturated.

Shape 1: this image shows shape along with form. The star fish in this

image has a strange but unique shape. It shows organic and geometric

shape mixed.

Shape 2: this image shows a main circular shape for the ring

but it contains more organic and geometrical shapes such as

circles and wavy lines acting as borders.

Shape 3: this image shows interesting image of shape

as this has a unique organic shape to the plant, this

photo has been taken form a specific angle which can

enhance this idea of shape.
