Elements of art

are the basic units of any visual design that form the design’s structure and convey its visual messages

Line

is a shape that connects two or more points.

– A BLANK is simply an element of design that is defined by a point moving in space.

– It is the most basic of the design elements.

– It can be fat, curved, straight, thick, thin, fat, jagged, two-dimensional, three-dimensional – whatever really!

Color

• is perhaps the most important and obvious element of a design.

• It can create impact right away, and it is noticed by everyone, even those without a design background. It can be used in backgrounds or within other elements like lines, shapes, or typography. BLANK create emotions and moods.

• For example, red can represent passion and green can represent nature

Shape

• is an element of art. Specifically, it is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art (i.e.: lines, colours, textures, etc.).

• is any two-dimensional area with a recognizable boundary. This includes circles, squares, triangles, and so on.

• is the combination of lines.

Geometric(or regular)

• can be defined as figure or area closed by a boundary which is created by combining the specific amount of curves, points, and lines.

• Are circles, rectangles, squares, triangles and so on - have the clear edges

Organic(where the shapes are more free form)

• Are shapes with a natural look and a flowing and curving appearance.

• BLANK are irregular and imperfect. Naturally these shapes will all be slightly different from one another. They are often curved and flowing and can seem unpredictable.

• Using THIS can make a piece of art or design seem more natural and real.

• BLANK are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

Shape

• are a vital part of communicating ideas visually.

• They give images weight and make them recognizable.

• We understand street signs, symbols, and even abstract art largely because of shapes.

Form

• When a shape becomes 3D, we call it a BLANK.

• BLANK make up a variety of things in the real world, including sculptures, architecture, and other three dimensional objects.

• In two-dimensional design, form makes realism possible.– E.g. a ball with highlights and shading

Texture

• is the physical quality of a surface.

• BLANK in design refers to how things look like they’d feel if they were to be touched.

• For example, BLANK can be rough, smooth, glossy, soft, hard, etc. BLANK is another element used to draw attention. It can be added to other elements like shapes, colors, images, and type.

depth and tactility

In design, texture adds BLANK to otherwise flat images. Objects can appear smooth, rough, hard, or soft, depending on the elements at play.

Typography

• is the art of arranging type.

• This one is critically important as it can greatly affect the design’s messaging. Different weights (bold, regular, or light), combined with varied sizing, colors, and spacing, can add power to the concept the designer is trying to communicate.

Balance

Balance

• is the equal distribution of visual weight (more specifically, how much any one element attracts the viewer's eye)

• BLANK in art is one of the basic principles of design.

• BLANK refers to how the elements of art (line, shape, color, value, space, form, texture) relate to each other within the composition in terms of their visual weight to create visual equilibrium. That is, one side does not seem heavier than another.

• BLANK can be affected by many things, including color, size, number, and negative space.

Symmetrical Balance

• is when both sides of a piece are equal; that is, they are identical or almost identical.

• can be established by drawing an imaginary line through the center of the work, either horizontally or vertically, and making each half identically or very visually similar.

Asymmetrical Balance

• the two sides of a compositionare not the same but appear to have an equal visual weight nonetheless.

• Negative and positive shapes are unequal and unevenly distributed throughout the artwork, leading the viewer's eye through the piece.

• It is a bit more difficult to achieve than symmetrical balance because each element of art has its own visual weight relative to the other elements and affects the whole composition.

The Rule of Thirds

• Many people, including designers and photographers, use a strategy called BLANK.

• This imagines your work area divided into a 3x3 grid.

• The focal point of the image is placed on or near one of the grid lines, creating visual balance with the rest of the space.

Visual identity graphic design

• is the visual elements of brand identity that act as the face of a brand to communicate those intangible qualities through images, shapes and color.

• Designers that specialize in visual identity graphic design collaborate with brand stakeholders to create assets like logos , typography , color palettes and image libraries that represent a brand’s personality.
