    ELEMENTS AND

    PRINCIPLE OF ARTS
    ELEMENTS OF ARTS
    Color
    Color is the visual perception seen by
    the human eye. The modern color
    wheel is designed to explain how
    color is arraigned and how colors
    interact with each other.
    Value
    refersto how adding black or
    white to color changes the
    shade of the original color,
    Form
    Form gives shape to a piece of art, whether
    it is the constraints of a line in a painting or
    the edge of the sculpture. The shape can be
    two-dimensional, three-dimensional
    restricted to height and weight, or it can be
    free-flowing. The form also is the expression
    of all the formal elements of art in a piece of
    work.
    Line
    A line in art is primarily a dot or series of dots. The
    dots form a line, which can vary in thickness, color,
    and shape. A line is a two-dimensional shape unless
    the artist gives it volume or mass. If an artist uses
    multiple lines, it develops into a drawing more
    recognizable than a line creating a form resembling
    the outside of its shape. Lines can also be implied
    as in an action of the hand pointing up, the viewer's
    eyes continue upwards without even a real line.
    Shape
    The shape of the artwork can have many
    meanings. The shape is defined as having
    some sort of outline or boundary, whether
    the shape is two or three dimensional. The
    shape can be geometric (known shape) or
    organic (free form shape). Space and
    shape go together in most artworks.
    Space
     Space is the area around the focal point of the
    art piece and might be positive or negative,
    shallow or deep, open, or closed. Space is the
    area around the art form; in the case of a
    building, it is the area behind, over, inside, or
    next to the structure. The space around a
    structure or other artwork gives the object its
    shape. The children are spread across the
    picture, creating space between each of them,
    the figures become unique.
    Texture
    Texture can be rough or smooth to the touch,
    imitating a particular feel or sensation. The
    texture is also how your eye perceives a surface,
    whether it is flat with little texture or displays
    variations on the surface, imitating rock, wood,
    stone, fabric. Artists added texture to buildings,
    landscapes, and portraits with excellent
    brushwork and layers of paint, giving the illusion
    of reality.
    PRINCIPLES OF ARTS
    Balance
    The balance in a piece of art refers to the
    distribution of weight or the apparent weight
    of the piece. Arches are built for structural
    design and to hold the roof in place,
    allowing for passage of people below the
    arch and creating balance visually and
    structurally. It may be the illusion of art that
    can create balance.
    Contrast 
    Contrast is defined as the difference in colors
    to create a piece of visual art. For instance,
    black and white is a known stark contrast
    and brings vitality to a piece of art, or it can
    ruin the art with too much contrast. Contrast
    can also be subtle when using
    monochromatic colors, giving variety and
    unity the final piece of art.
    Emphasis: 
    Emphasis can be color,
    unity, balance, or any other
    principle or element of art
    used to create a focal point.
    Harmony
    A way of combining similar
    elements in an artwork to accent
    their similarities (achieved through
    use of repetitions and subtle gradual
    changes)
    Movement
    A principle of design used to create
    the look and feeling of action and to
    guide the viewer’s eye throughout
    the work of art.
    Rhythm
    in a piece of art denotes a type
    of repetition used to either
    demonstrate movement or
    expanse. 
    Variety
    A principle of design concerned with
    diversity or contrast. Variety is achieved
    by using different shapes, sizes, and/or
    colors in a work of art.
    Pattern:

     Pattern is the way something is


    organized and repeated in its shape or
    form and can flow without much
    structure in some random repetition.
