Line, Shapes, Form, Space, Color, and Texture
The most fundamental of elements of design.

artistic creation whether one is starting a fine drawing or painting or even sketching
ideas for a sculpture.
Line
Most design begins in ______?
Lines
What are the 7 different lines?
Horizontal Lines, Vertical Lines, Diagonal Lines, Zigzag Lines, Curved Lines, Actual Lines, and Implied Lines
A straight line differs in the directions they take.
Horizontal Lines
This usually indicate calmness and rest.
Horizontal Lines
These show strength, balance, and
stability.
Vertical Lines
These does not lean at all.
Vertical Lines
They indicate movement or action as may be seen in the posture of a runner or horse in full run.
Diagonal Lines
These may indicate stress, frustration, or defeat.
Diagonal Lines
These are the diagonals from angles and change direction suddenly.
Zigzag Lines
These indicates chaos, conflict, and confusion.
Zigzag Lines
These are are organic and natural and adjust direction regularly.
Curved Lines
In here, the artist intentionally shows the line in an artwork
Actual Lines
These are used by the artist to make a viewer feel their involvement
in interpreting the composition by seeing and connecting lines where none
actually exists.
Implied Lines
These are the interesting element of the visual arts.
Shapes
These are the result from the coming
together of lines enclosing an area and separating it from its surroundings
(Fichner,2013)
Shapes
What are the 4 Kinds of Shape?
Geometric Shapes, Organic Shape, Biomorphic Shape, and Amorphous Shape
These are regular and precise and present an industrial feel to the
viewer.
Geometric Shapes
These have a natural appearance and are usually curvilinear and
irregular.
Organic Shape
These manifest some qualities of biological organisms.
Biomorphic Shape
These exist without any basis from either nature or geometry.
Amorphous Shape
These are used in artwork that has three dimensions instead of two as shape.
Form
An element of the visual art that fascinates both the artists and the viewers.
Space
What are the 3 Illusion of Space?
Overlapping, Relative Size and Linear Perspective, and Atmospheric Perspective
In this, the objects that are near will be
seen as complete or whole while the objects that are far would be partly covered by objects in front of them.
Overlapping
In this, the farther the object is from
the viewer, the smaller is the size of the
object.
Relative Size and Linear Perspective
This is also known as aerial perspective.
Atmospheric Perspective
In this, the illusion of depth is created by techniques known as gradient (a gradual change).
Atmospheric Perspective
What do you call the technique that shows the illusion of depth in Atmospheric Perspective?
Gradient
This is the most expressive
element of art.
Color
This has been observed that this appeal to our emotions and interact with the psychology of the visual system to amaze us into the matter in which is perceived.
Color
What are the physical properties of color?
Hue, Value, and Intensity or Saturation

Hue
This is determined by
the wavelength of light physically given by the color.
Hue
This refers to the lightness and darkness of color.
Value
This refers to how pure the color is.
Intensity
Pure hues pertain to the absence of what colors ?
White, black, and gray
What are the two color systems that exist?
Additive and Subtractive Colors
Who discovered the colors of light?
Newton
He first conceptualized the color wheel.
Isaac Newton
Light to dark color system
Subtractive
Dark to light color system
Additive
These can be
described as a circle divided
equally into twelve parts
representing the twelve colors and
how they relate to one another.

Green and Blue
This is defined as how the surface of the material feels and looks like.
Texture
What are the 4 types of texture?
Actual, Simulated, Abstract, and Invented Texture
These refers to the real feel and look of the surface of the object.
Actual Texture
These refers to a surface character that looks real but is not.
Simulated Texture
In here, the artist would focus on one aspect of the real texture
and emphasized it, thus, modifying the texture of the whole composition.
Abstract Texture
These are product of artist imagination. This presentation is usually seen in the abstract.
Invented Texture
What are the sound components of music?
Pitch, intensity, duration, and timber
This is a musical procedure that determines the highness or lowness of a specific musical sound.
Pitch
This is the process of distinguishing volume of specific sound vibration
Intensity
This covers the span between the first and the end or cut off of a specific
perceptible sound
Duration
This is the process of distinguishing the quality of sound of an instrument or
human voice.
Timber
What are the primary elements of music?
Rhythm, Melody, and Harmony
These are the organization of all elements of time included in the music.
Rhythm
These are the organization of the individual tones in successive pitches in
horizontal motion that is organized in time
Melody
These are the process of simultaneous pitches and the vertical relationship
among tones
Harmony
What are the secondary elements of music?
Texture, Dynamics, Form, and Tone Color
These refers to the horizontal and vertical relationship among tones.
Texture
These are the intensity of sound or volume of a musical phrase
Dynamics
These are the principle of musical organization that determines its over-all
structure.
Form
These are the quality of sound of a particular instrument or voice
Tone Color

What are the 8 Principles of Design?
Balance, Emphasis/Contrast, Harmony, Variety, Gradation, Movement, Rhythm, and Proportion
This is a way of combining elements to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to a work of art.
Balance
What are the three types of balance?
Symmetrical, Asymmetrical, and Radial
This is known as formal balance.
Symmetrical
In here, the similarity is so precise that each half is seen one and the same.
Symmetrical
This is known as informal
balance.
Asymmetrical
This is where elements on either side of a
composition do not reflect one another.
Asymmetrical
This is where all elements radiate out from a center point in a circular fashion to all four quadrants of the shape’s constraining plane.
Radial
This is a way of combining elements to stress differences between those elements.
Emphasis / Contrast
These are often used to
direct and focus the viewer’s attention
on the most important parts of a
design
Contrasting Elements
This is a way of combining similar elements in artwork to accent their similarities
Harmony
This is accomplished through the use of repetitions and subtle, gradual changes
Harmony
This involved ways to create intricate and complicated relationships.
Variety
This is achieved through diversity and change.
Variety
This uses a series of gradual changes in those elements.
Gradation
This is used to create the look and feel of actions and to guide the viewer’s eye
throughout the work of art.
Movement
This is also used to direct the viewer’s attention to a center of interest, or make
certain that the main parts of the work are noted.
Movement
This is created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to
cause a visual tempo or beat
Rhythm
This is concerned with the relationship with the certain elements to the whole and to each other.
Proportion
This is often closely connected with emphasis.
Proportion
