Elements and principles of design

A line is a straight  figure,

extending infinitely

in both directions. 

There are various types of lines.

(as shown in the picture)

A shape is a closed line, lines make 

shapes. A shape is a

outline.

Texture is a surface that you feel and touch.

There are different 

textures

such as smooth,

rough, hard,

soft, jagged, and

 ridged.

Form is a two or three

dimensional shape

such as a cube, pyramid 

sphere, cone and a  cylinder

 

 Balance in art refers to the elements

( line , shape, form,

and texture etc.)

of how the piece of art

is arranged and designed.

Contrast art is the

arrangement of opposite

elements (light vs. dark colors, 

 large vs. small shapes,

 rough vs. smooth  textures,

 etc.) in a piece of art.

Movement shows actions

 happening in

the piece of art.

A artist

can use patterns 

with the use of colors,

 shapes, textures, lines

and etc.

Unity is the harmony

of the art piece and

it combines

everything together.

Emphasis is a focus point

that the artist wants you

 to pay attention to more,
