Elements of Art

The elements of design are the basic things that can be seen in an image. They are often called the building blocks of art because they are used in the construction of artwork. 

Principles of Design

Principles are used to organize or arrange the elements in a way that makes a work of art more interesting and better.

 

  • Contrast/Variety
  • Movement 
  • Emphasis  
  • Balance 
  • Unity or Harmony
  • Rhythm 
  • Proportion / size or scale
