Element of Art and Principles of Design

Color: Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors.

Basically everything that isn't black or white is color that you can see. There are very bright colors that you can really see and it brings the effect of color.
Value: Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.

The value is basically contrast and you can see all the colors in the photo. The elephants really contrast from the girl in the white dress. to bring value.
Texture: Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.

 You can see the rough texture and how scratchy it really is. You can see the scratchy tires and plenty of them.

Shape: Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet.

These show shape because they both have a circular shape.
Form: Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

This photo is a good picture for form because it shows the form of their faces. The babes face shows a form and basically everything else with the picture.

Space: Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece.

These are good pictures of space because they have simplicity. The bird is sort of showing the rule of thirds and has plenty of space.

Line: Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

These are good photos of lines because they have either small or big curved lines. This picture has plenty of curved lines and a few small short ones.

Balance: Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.

They can be folded on top of each other and they will be pretty balances. If it has an even number of objects next o each other then it could follow balance.

Contrast: Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another.

You can see the different colors and see when the color is formed. The red contrast throughout the green grass.

Emphasis: Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.

This focuses on one thing and nothing else. There are plenty of bottle tops and it just focuses on only one.

Movement: Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.

Unity: Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.

The pictures and the images in them flow together. The picture of the people holding hands flows in a circle.
Rhythm: Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.

This is a repetition of the same shape plenty of times. Circles are the repeated things in the picture which brings a rhythm
Pattern: Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.

These are good pictures for pattern because it is the same shape repeatedly. Whatever the man is standing of continues in a circular motion and is a pattern.
