Elements Of Design

There are seven fundamental elements of design and in this video I'm going to walk you through each one of them so Rather than walk you through all the dry dictionary definitions of these elements, I'm going to explain them briefly and if you find the elements of design are effectively the alphabet for art making. They are the primary visual tools that are used for making all artwork. The visual elements of design are space, line, shape, form, value, color, texture. That's it. Rather than that's the area in w Now let's take a point and put it in that space. Move that point through space, you have a line. If that line were to eventually come back to its origin and close its circuit, you have a shape. Take that shape and either replicate it through space or rotate it through space and you now have form. You've moved from a flat two-dimensional shape to a three-dimensional vol The only way we know that form has mass is to s When you s Value through light helps describe the mass of objects as well as the space that they're occupying. If you're dealing with light, you're dealing with color because color is simply the visible spectr That's what we're able to see. When shapes and forms are fully lit and in color, you're able to see the appearance of their surfaces and that's texture. So if we look at all of these elements together, they really build upon one another and they give you an arsenal of visual tools that you can use when making your work. Not every artwork needs an emphasis on all seven of these elements. But if .
