Elements of Design-Texture


Texture expressing how objects feel, realized through a sense of touch or implied/simulated in a two-dimensional work; soft, rough, or smooth. The texture in this photo is of a wall and it seems rough.

Elements of Design-Space


Space is the area between and around obects. The space around objects is often called negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art we can create the feeling or illusion of depth we call it space. There is equal amount space between the trees here in this photo.

Elements of Design-Colour


is light reflected off objects. colour has three main characteristics: HUE or its name (red, green, blue, etc), Value (how light or dark it is ) and intensity ( how bright or dull it is). Light here is shown on the building and the yellow lighting around the other buildings.

Elements of Design-Value


Value refers to the relative lightness or darkness of a certain area. On this tree we can see the different shades of lightness and darkness on it giving it value.

Elements of Design-Form


 Forms are three-dimensional shapes expressing lengths, width and depth. For example Balls, cylinders, boxes and triangles are forms. This here is a form of a cylinder that was hanging from above and has light in it.

Elements of Design-Shape


 Shape is created when a line joins itself. it is two-dimensional and has length and width. it tells you the nature of a subject, what it is like. Also consider the area inside a shape (positive and negative space). There is the shape of curtains i found while walking around.

Elements of Design-Line


Line is the shortest distance between two points. it is the simplest and most common basis for the most complex works of art. Line creates pattern, structure and  direction. Line is shown here the bricks on either side of the photo and the reflection of light on the ground.
