1. Color: Color is one of the oldest forms of design and
still very much in use. Color may be the first thing that
someone sees and it affects how they experience a work
of art. A painting or photograph could possibly be
very good but could still be greatly improved by adding
color. Using color is a very personal thing, everyone
has his or her own way of using color. The way a person
uses color to express their emotions could be very
dramatic. Adding color to a scene can be very distracting
or can enhance the scene.
2. Line: Line is something that is part of most things
including photographs and art. When looking at art,
lines can express how you see the subject. Lines can
also be used to indicate movement.
3. Balance: Balance is the equal use of opposing elements
such as light and dark, loud and quiet, and high and
low elements in a work of art. Balance is always present
when drawing or painting a work of art.
4.Contrast: Contrast can be both the contrast between
objects in a picture or the contrast between objects
and the background in a picture. Contrast is what makes
a picture or a painting look good. A painting may look
boring if it has no contrast.
5.Rhythm: Rhythm is an element that cannot be changed
after it is put into a picture or piece of art. A work
of art that uses a lot of rhythm can be very fun and
interesting.
