ELEMENTS OF DESIGN are:• Line• Shape• Color• Value• Texture• Space• Form
Page 3
LINE• A mark made on a surface that
has length and direction.
Page 5
SHAPE
• A two-dimensional enclosed area, or object.
Page 6
SHAPE
ORGANIC
GEOMETRIC
Page 7
SHAPES
• BLOCK LETTERS & NUMBERS ARE SHAPES.
• CURSIVE LETTERS ARE LINES
Page 8
COLOR• The quality of light
reflected from an object, and not absorbed.
• Isaac Newton discovered that white light (from the sun), when refracted through a prism, would break up into it’s separate colors (ROY G BIV).
Page 9
COLOR WHEELColors are divided into
groups or “schemes”.• Primary• Secondary• Tertiary/Intermediate• Complementary• Analogous• Warm /Cool
Page 10
PRIMARY COLORS CANNOT BE MADE FROM OTHER COLORS
Page 11
Secondary colors can be created BY mixing primary colors.
Page 12
Tertiary Colors A tertiary color
is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color.
Page 13
Complementary colors are colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, red and green, violet and yellow.

Analogous Colors Are next to each other on the color
wheel.

VALUE
• THE LIGHTNESS OR DARKNESS OF A COLOR.
Page 16
VALUETINTS: Color mixed with white SHADES: Color mixed with black
Page 17
TEXTURE
• The tactile quality of a surface. It can be actual or implied.

ACTUAL TEXTURE
IMPLIED TEXTURE
Page 19
SPACE
• The illusion of depth & distance.
Page 20
POSITIVE / NEGATIVE SPACE
THE AIRPLANE IS NEGATIVE
THE TREE IS POSITIVE
Page 21
SPACE
• The cut outs are negative and the left over dough is positive.
Page 22
SPACE
FOREGROUND- Objects larger and warmer in color.
MIDDLEGROUND- Objects get smaller
BACKGROUND- Colors get cooler & objects get blurrier

FORM
• Three-dimensional shapes or objects. • Form can be implied or actual. • Value is used to create form in painting and
drawing.

REALISM VS. ABSTRACT
This one has form This one has shape

SCULPTURE
An ARMATURE is:• The skeleton that
supports the material by which the sculpture is made (i.e. clay, paper mache, etc.)
Page 28
The Principles of Design • …are the rules by which we use
the ELEMENTS.• The recipe or guidelines on how
to use the elements of design.
Page 29
The Principles are:• Balance• Contrast• Emphasis• Rhythm
• Movement• Proportion• Unity• Pattern
Page 30
BALANCEBalance is a feeling of equality
or stability in a piece of artwork. There are three types:
1.Symmetrical2.Asymmetrical3.Radial
Page 32
SYMMETRICAL & RADIAL
Page 34
CONTRAST• … is achieved by using
opposite elements in an artwork to create interest.
Page 37
RHYTHM
• Rhythm is created when similar elements repeat, creating a sense of movement. Repeating elements do NOT have to be exactly alike.
Page 40
THIS CAN ALSO BE UNITY!
Page 41
MOVEMENT• …is the way the human eye
travels through an artwork in a particular direction.
Page 44
UNITY• .. is when SIMILAR elements
work together to create harmony (mood or theme).
Page 47
EMPHASIS• … is the focal point in an
artwork, or the most important part.
Page 51
PROPORTION• … is the comparative relationship of one
part to another, such as the size, amounts, or number of elements in an artwork.
Page 54
PATTERN• Created when identical elements
repeat sequentially.
