Art elements
Line, shape, value, space, form, color, and texture
1) Line =The path of a moving point at the edge of a flat shape, or outline of a solid object
2) Shape=connecting lines that establish the contour of an object.
3) Value = is the different between light to dark.
4) Space= Interval of measurable distance between pre-established points
5) Form= physicalcharacteristic of an object.
6) Color= is a property of light.
7) Hue= refers to the name of the color.
8) Intensity refers to the brightness of a color.
a. The pure color is the brightest it will ever get.
b. To lower the intensity you add black and white.
9) Texture= refers to the surface quality of an object
a. Actual texture= are those we can feel by touching.b. Simulated texture=Are those created to look, like something other than paint on a flat surface it’s an illusion.
c. Color is one of the most powerful art elements.
There are 3 ways that artist use colors.
1) Local color= id the color you of an object under ordinary daylight.
2) Optical color= is the color you actually see under different lighting situation,
3) Arbitrarycolor= is the color chosen based on emotions design.

The principles of design
1) Unity of variety= Complement each other.
a) Unity is the appearance of openness, when a work of art has unity; both the artist and the viewer feel that any changes would damage the overall quality.
b) Variety provides diversity, it acts as a counter balance to unity, it createsbetween too much of the same thing total chaos.
2) Balance= there are 2 type of balance symmetrical & asymmetrical.
a) Symmetrical balance= everything on one side or the piece of art is exactly the same as the other side.
b) Asymmetrical balance= the two side are not the same. Most arts are asymmetrical
3) Emphasis and subordination= it is used todraw our eyes to an area; if the area is one spot of figure it is called focal point.
• Subordination = neutral area of lesser interest that keep us from being distracted from the area of interest.
4) Directional force= paths for the eyes to follow provides by actual or implied lines.
5) Contrast=is the position next to each other of strangle dissimilar elements ,ex. Dark against light , large shapes small shapes , bright colors against dull color.
6) Repetition and rhythm=
a) Repetition gives a form unity, flows and emphasis.
b) Rhythm= refers to any kind of movement of art element in sequences.
Scales and proportion
A. Scale is another name for sized, it is size relation of onething to another, when the artist create piece he/she need to decide the scale/ sized it should be.
B. Proportion= is the sizes relationship of part a whole ex. A body head is in proportion to its body it could out of proportion on an adult head.
Drawing and painting
1) Drawing = is used as a tool for visual thinking, it isused like a journal to sketch ideas.
2) To learn how to draw you must observe, some people can draw better than other largely because they have interest in observing things.
3) Different tools and paper create different effect both quality of the surface of the paper the type of drawing tool effect the way drawing looks.
