The Elements of Art:
- Line: straight or curvy, thick or thin, direct or implied, line creates direction and structure in art
- Value: either in color or shadow, values lighten or darken hue, creating dimensions
- Shape: 2-D objects or obvious spaces in art
- Form: 3-D shapes in art, items that appear to have mass
- Color: the pigment and hues in a piece
- Texture: the technique used to give art the appearance of real touch sense
The Principles of Art:
- Balance: the symmetry or asymmetry of an artwork
- Contrast: dramatically different values juxtaposed to one another
- Movement: the way an eye follows throughout a piece/subject matter appearing to move
- Emphasis: extreme focus on one or more items in a piece
- Pattern: the repetition of one or more shapes in an artwork, creating a continuous look
- Proportion: the emphasis on scale of objects in a piece
- Unity: a collection of harmonious elements

Here are some Examples in order of the List Above:













































































































After studying the elements and principles, I looked at some of my favorite photos and found that they resembled many qualities of art. After attempting and failing for two hours trying to get google photos animation to work, I decided to upload them. Thank you for that option.

  1. Hi Elizabeth! I agree with the photos you chose for each element and principle. Specifically, the photo you labeled as line with the string lights is a perfect example of a vertical line creating structure in an image. In the image with the glowing Albright Knox square I like how the shiloulettes look against the bright neon lights, it is a proportionate picture all together. For the photo labeled pattern I believe could've been labeled as texture too because it shows a sort of rough texture. In the one labeled emphasis I think it could've been a form too just because of the hand looking more than just 2D. I think the last image of the taffy could have also been one showcasing a line just because there are horizontal lines that appear. Overall I loved the images you used they were all great examples of elements and principles! :)
