ELEMENT
a part or aspect of something abstract, especially one that is essential or characteristic.
texture
In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions
balance
Balance in art refers to the sense of distribution of perceived visual weights that offset one another. We feel more comfortable--and therefore find it more pleasing--when the parts of an artwork seem tobalance each other
proportion
Scale and proportion in art are both concerned with size. Scale refers to the size of an object (a whole) in relationship to another object (another whole). In art the size relationship between an object and the human body is significant.
LINE
a long, narrow mark or band OR mark or cover with lines
value
Value The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. ... The value halfway between these extremes is called middle gray. Space An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art . Color An element of art made up of three properties: hue, value, and intensity
symmetrical
Symmetrical balance refers to balance that is achieved by arranging elements on either side of the center of a composition in an equally weighted manner. Symmetrical balance can be thought of as 50/50 balance or like a mirror image
visual rhythm
Visual Rhythm is rhythm you receive through your eyes rather than your ears. •Visual Rhythm is created by repeated positive shapes separated by negative spaces. • Visual Rhythm is all around us.
SHAPE
the external form or appearance characteristic of someone or something; the outline of an area or figure.
positive space
Positive space refers to the main focus of a picture, while negative space refers to the background. When used creatively and intelligently, positive and negativespace together can tell a story using visual composition alone. The term negative space is something of a misnomer
asymmetrical
In symmetrical balance, if an imaginary line is drawn through the center of the work, both sides are exactly the same, and balanced in that way. In asymmetrical balance, the two sides are not identical, but differ from one another. However, the elements are arranged so that there is a sense of balance
movement
An art movement is a tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, (usually a few months, years or decades) or, at least, with the heyday of the movement defined within a number of years.
form
Form. The form of a work is its shape, including its volume or perceived volume. A three-dimensional artwork has depth as well as width and height. Three-dimensional form is the basis of sculpture. ... Formalism is the analysis of works by theirform or shapes in art history or archeology
negative space
Negative space, in art, is the space around and between the subject(s) of an image. Negative spacemay be most evident when the space around a subject, not the subject itself, forms an interesting or artistically relevant shape, and such spaceoccasionally is used to artistic effect as the "real" subject of an image
radial balance
Radial balance is any type of balance based on a circle with its design extending. from center. A star, the iris around each pupil of your eyes, a wheel with spokes, and a daisy (among many flowers and other plant forms) are examples of radial.balance.
variety
PRINCIPLES OF ART: Balance, emphasis, movement, proportion, rhythm, unity, and variety; the means anartist uses to organize elements within a work of art. Rhythm. A principle of design that indicates movement, created. by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to cause a visual tempo or beat.
color
