Line: A line is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and lengths. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. Lines lead your eye around the composition. It's a great example of line because of the large wood poles sticking out really grab the viewers attention. Color: three main characteristics: hue, value, intensity, warm, and cool. Furthermore, monochromatics are one color plus its tints and shades and Complimentary colors are colors opposite each other on the color wheel and Analogous colors are colors next to each other on the color wheel. Shape: two dimensional, with a height and width. Organic shapes are shapes made by nature. Not completely defined and Inorganic shapes are man-made such as triangles and rectangles. Form: three dimensional, has height and width and depth and photographers emphasize form by the use of highlights and shadows. Texture: The surface quality of an object that we sense through touch. All objects have a physical texture. In a two dimensional work, texture gives a visual sense of how an object depicted would feel in real life if touched. Space: Real space is a three dimensional. Space in a work of art refers to a feeling of depth or three dimensions. It can also refer to an artist’s use of the area around the picture plane. Positive space is the space occupied by the primary object and Negative space is the space around the primary object. Value: Value is the lightness or darkness of a surface. It is frequently used when talking about shading, but is also important in the study of color. Principles of Art
Balance: Balance is similar to our physical sense of balance. It is how the artist uses opposing forces in a composition that results in visual stability. Most successful compositions achieve balance symmetrically or asymmetrically. Proportion: Relates to relative size and scale of the various elements in a design. Specifically, the relationship between the objects. Like in the photo, there's a huge wave towering over the small photographer. Rhythm: Rhythm in an artwork indicates movement by the repetition of elements. Rhythm can make an artwork seem active. Emphasis: Emphasis is to make one part of an artwork dominant over the other parts. It attracts the viewer’s eyes to a place of special importance in an artwork. Harmony: Harmony is the pleasing quality achieved by different elements of a composition interacting to form a whole. Harmony is often accomplished through repetition of the same or similar characteristics Variety: Differences achieved by opposing, contrasting, changing, elaborating, or diversifying elements in a composition to add individualism and interest. Unity: Unity is the result of bringing the elements of art into the appropriate ratio between harmony and variety to achieve a sense of oneness. It is the sense that everything works together and looks like it fits.
