¡  The  “building  block”  of  design.      ¡  All  good  design  will  have  one  or  more  of  these  elements:  line,  color,  shape,  form,  texture,  space,  and  value.  

¡  This  presentation  aims  to  show  you  some  illustrations  of  these  elements  through  photography.    It  could  also  be  done  through  other  art  methods,  such  as  painting,  fashion  design,  sculpture,  etc.

Line    

A  line  is  one-­‐dimensional  and  can  vary  in  width,  direction,  and  length.    Lines  also  can  define  the  edges  of  a  form.    Lines  can  be  horizontal,  vertical,  or  diagonal,  straight  or  curved,  thick  or  thin.    Leading  lines  draw  your  eye  around  the  composition.

Color  

Color  has  three  main  characteristics:  hue  (red,  yellow,  green),  value  (how  light  or  dark  it  is),  and  intensity  (how  bright  or  dull  it  is).    Colors  can  also  be  described  as  warm  or  cool.  Furthermore,  there  is  black  &  white  and  also  monochromatic:  one  color  plus  its  tints  (adding  white)  and  shades  (adding  black).    Complimentary  Colors-­‐  colors  opposite  each  other  on  the  color  wheel.  (ex.  Green  &  Red).    Analogous  Colors-­‐  colors  next  to  each  other  on  the  color  wheel  (ex.  Red  &  orange).

Shape  

Shape  is  two  dimensional,  with  a  height  and  width.      Organic  shapes  are  made  by  nature,  and  often  not  completely  defined.  Inorganic  shapes  are  man-­‐made,  such  as  triangles  and  rectangles.

Form  

Form  is  three  dimensional,  has  height  and  width  and  depth.        Photographers    emphasize  form  by  the  use  of  highlights  and  shadows.

¡  Form:  §  Gives  a  sense  of  dimension,  either  2D  or  3D  

Page 35: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Texture  

The  surface  quality  of  an  object  that  we  sense  through  touch.  All  objects  have  a  physical  texture  (think-­‐  horse  hair,  dolphin  smooth).      In  a  two-­‐dimensional  work,  texture  gives  a  visual  sense  of  how  an  object  depicted  would  feel  in  real  life  if  touched.

¡  Texture:  §  Gives  a  sense  of  tactile  feel  –  how  it  would  feel  to  the  touch  in  real  life  

Page 41: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Space  

Real  space  is  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:  the  space  occupied  by  the  primary  object.  Negative  space:  The  space  around  the  primary  object.

¡  Space:  §  Use  of  positive  space  connects  ideas,  showing  relationships    

§  Use  of  negative  space  breaks  up  information,  making  it  easier  to  digest

Page 49: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

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.

¡  Value:  §  Similar  colour  value  connects  elements  

§  Value  can  suggest  strength  of  relationship  

§  Helps  create  mood  

Page 54: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

¡  The  principles  of  art  are  the  rules  or  guidelines  of  art.      

¡  Used  to  organize  or  arrange  the  structural  elements  of  design.  

¡  Principles  are  balance,  proportion,  rhythm,  emphasis,  harmony,  variety  and  unity.  

Page 55: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Balance  

Balance  is  similar  to  our  physical  sense  of  balance.  It  is  how  the  artist  uses  opposing  forces  in  a  way  that  results  in  visual  stability.    Most  successful  compositions  achieve  balance  in  one  of  two  ways:  symmetry  (the  same  on  both  sides,  like  a  butterfly  wing)  or  asymmetry.

¡  Balance  

Page 62: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Proportion  

Proportion  relates  to  the  relative  size  and  scale  of  the  various  elements  in  a  design.    Specifically,  the  relationship  between  the  objects.

¡  Proportion  

Page 67: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Rhythm  

Rhythm  in  an  artwork  indicates  movement  by  the  repetition  of  elements.    Rhythm  can  make  an  artwork  seem  active.  

Robert  Capa,  D-­‐Day  Landing,  1944

¡  Rhythm  

Page 74: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

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.  

Steve  McCurry,  Afghan  Girl,  1985

¡  Emphasis  

Page 79: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

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.   Joel  Meyerowitz,  Cape  Light,  1979

¡  Harmony  

Page 85: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

Variety  

Differences  achieved  by  opposing,  contrasting,  changing,  elaborating,  or  diversifying  elements  in  a  composition  to  add  individualism  and  interest.

¡  Variety  

Page 90: Elements & Principles of Art Through Photography

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.
