Shapes
Shapes may also symbolize or represent a concept, create movement, provide depth or texture, and a lot more. Shapes come in different sizes.
Color
Colors have different tonal values some can be dark some can be light.Colors give life to your art.
Value
Value, also sometimes referred to as tone, is the relative lightness and darkness of an object.Value is also referred to as tone when talking about black and white images.
Form
forms are three-dimensional figures, including spheres, cubes, cylinders, pyramids and cones. If an object has height, width and depth, it is a form. A form can be man-made, geometric shape.It has angles and edges.
Texture
How something looks or feels.We associate textures with the way that things design is. Texture also creates a illusion some time.
Space
Space existing around or inside an object.We use illusions to make space in art.Space can be used to both separate and connect elements in a design.There is positive and negative space.
Balance
The principles of design describe the ways that artists use the elements of art in a work . Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. There are three types of balance symmetrical,asymmetrical and radical.
Contrast
contrast refers to the arrangement of opposite elements and effects. For example, light and dark colors, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes. Contrast can be used to create variety, visual interest in an artwork
Emphasis
Emphasis is the art of making a specific element stand out or draw attention to the eye. Emphasis is when the eye is naturally drawn to the main object.
Movement
Movement is the path the viewer's eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art.
Pattern
Pattern as a principle of design may be defined as regular arrangement of repeated same elements like line, shape, colors over and over again.
Rhythm
Rhythm is a principle of design that suggests movement or action. Rhythm is usually achieved through repetition of lines, shapes, colors, and more.
Unity
Unity (also called harmony) is an important principle of design that gives the artwork a sense of unity. Unity and harmony in art are used by artists to tie a composition together and help the composition make sense as a whole piece of art.
