Elements of art and principles of design in photography

Line - are marks made by a pointed tool ; bush . pencil . pen . act . Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature , length , or color.

Shape - are fored wherever the ends of a continuous lines meet. Gwometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in mature.

Color - wheels show the primary colors,  secondary colors , and the tertiary (intemediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange and analogous colors next too each other as yellow green and blue.

Value - or tone , refers to dark and light the values scale refers too black and white all gradations of fray in between. Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art,
Form - describes objects that are three dimensional having length width and height 



Texture - can be rough bumpy slick scratchy smooth silky soft prickly the list is endless. Texture refers to the surface quality both simulated and actual of artwork.



Space - refers to distances or areas around between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive or negative open or closed shallow or deep and two dimensional or three dimensional.
Balance - is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are three different types of balance symmetrical asymmetrical and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced equally on each side.

Contrast - is the by using elements that conflict with one another. Often contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. 

Emphasis - in the focal area of an artwork gives it =importance. an artist may stress some elements of the design over others . The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of intresr first then take in the rest of the composition 

Movement - an artwork means the artist is taking a viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines edges shapes and color often leading to the focal area . Movement is a visual flow through the composition
