Visual Literacy​:
Elements of Art

1. Line​ - is 1D and can vary in width, direction and length.
2. Shape​ - 2D and flat, artists use both geometric and organic shapes.
3. Colou​r - can vary with the use of tinting and shading. Often the intensity of a
colour reflects the artist's intention.
4. Value​ - describes the lightness or darkness of a surface.
5. Texture​ - describes the surface quality.
6. Space​ - creates the illusion of depth within an artwork.
7. Form​ - 3D, have volume and can be viewed from many angles.

Principles of Design

1. Balance​ - artworks arrangement. 3 types: symmetrical, asymmetrical and
radial.
2. Contrast/Variety​ - difference between elements such as size of colour
differences.
3. Emphasis ​- creation of a focal point, draws the viewer's attention.
4. Pattern​ - regularly repeated elements (shapes/colour).
5. Unity​ - all elements within artwork are in harmony.
6. Movement​ - how the eye travels through artwork. Can be influenced by line.
7. Rhythm​ - regular repetition of elements (line,shape,forms) to create interest
and consistency.
