Today, I will…

• Have knowledge and understanding of the

elements of design and art

•

Be able to communicate my understanding of elements of design and art using digital tools

The Elements & Principles

Elements

• The basic building blocks;

• The things inside, that

make up a piece of art

• Most art will contain all of

the elements

• (Think of as the ingredients)

Principles

• What we do with the

building blocks (element

• (Think of as your chef’s

technique and preparatio

of a dish)


4/82

Role Reversal

• In pairs, you will be given one of the elemen

to research and present to the class


5/82

Role Reversal

•

In your presentation you should provide thefollowing:

• Your element

•

A definition/description• Minimum 5 examples, describing how each

photograph uses your element

• Final slide; links to sources

Elements of Art & Design––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

The ____________ of a composition.

•

The basic building blocks; the ingredients


7/82

Line

•

Directs the eye – horizontal, verticadiagonal, curvy, zig-zag, etc.

• Has greater length than width

•

Can be a mark made by a movingpoint

• Can be actual obvious lines or the

borders or edges of shapes

Shape/Form

•

A contained area.•

Can be GEOMETRIC (man-made)

ex. Square, triangle, circle, etc.

•

Can be ORGANIC (natural) ex.Leaves, humans, puddles, etc.

• Used to create a sense of space

and substance.


13/82

Shape/Form

Shape

• Shapes are 2-Dimensional

and flat; created when a line is

enclosed

•

Can be measured in width x height

• For example, a circle

Form

• Form encloses volume;

3-Dimensional

• Can be measured in wid

x height x depth

• For example, sphere

Space

• The area used or unused in a composition; can contribute to balance with

composition

• Use of space can create dimension for the viewer; the area around, within

between objects/subjects in an image create perspective; positive and

negative space.

• Positive space – the area the objects/subject takes up.

• Negative space – the area around, under, through and between.

• Foreground (closest), Middle ground, and Background (farthest).

• Can be open, crowded, near, far, etc.

• When used e" ectively, it can define importance and lead the eye.

• Black and White and all the Grays in betwe

• The darkness or lightness of a colour; addin

white to a colour makes it a tint ; adding blacto a colour makes it a shade

• Can add drama and impact to composition

Principles of Art & Design––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––


39/82

Principles of Art & Design:

What you do with/how you arrange the basicbuilding blocks (elements) to create artistic,

interesting, more visually powerful photograph

Just like elements, photographs can utilize

multiple principles.

Principles


40/82

PrinciplesWhat you do with the basic building blocks (elements)

• Emphasis

• Balance

•

Unity / Harmony

• Contrast

• Movement / Rhythm

• Pattern / Repetition

• Scale / Proportion

E h i

Emphasis

• Creating a focal point;

• Emphasis in a composition refers to creatin

points of interest to pull the viewer's eye to

important parts of the body of the work


42/82

Emphasis is created throughcontrasting colour.


43/82

Even though allelements share a g

hue, emphasis is

created due to the

di!erence in shape

form.

Balance


46/82

Balance

•

Balance is the impression ofstability or equality in a

composition.

•

Balance is often referred to as

symmetrical, asymmetrical, or

radial.


47/82

Symmetricalbalance is cr

reflection of t

cli! in the wa

Photoshopped ;)


48/82

Symmetrical balance is achieved asthe photograph has equal weight.


49/82

Asymmetrical balance

is created by using

space andperspective.

The pole in the

foreground is

emphasized, however,the right side of image

contains multiple poles

to help balance the

photograph.


50/82


51/82

Radial balance iscreated with the majo

of the weight centred

the image and repeat

elements circle awayfrom the centre point


52/82

Unity / Harmony


53/82

Unity / Harmony

• Unity is achieved when the components of

work of art are perceived as harmonious,

giving the work a sense of completion

• How things are linked, similar, common -

when all the parts equal a whole.


54/82


55/82

Contrast


56/82

Contrast

•

Contrast refers to the opposites and di" erences in t

composition.

• You can achieve contrast by using di" erent shapes

textures, colors and values in your work.

• For example, something light against something da

rough against smooth textures, etc.

Movement/Rhythm


61/82

Movement/Rhythm

• Rhythm or movement refers to the

suggestion of motion through the use of

various elements.• The way elements are arranged to lead the

eye to or from the focal area.


62/82

Rhythm and moare created thro

the repeated

pattern of ripplethe sand.


63/82


64/82

Pattern/Repetition


65/82

Pattern/Repetition

• An element that occurs over and over again

in a composition

•

Can repeat the element in a consistent or

varying pattern


66/82

Scale / Proportion


71/82

p

•

Scale/proportion refers to the relative size and scale

the various elements in a design; the relationship

between objects, or parts, of a whole

•

For example, a person compared to large building,

di" erent sized people in same photograph.
