what will you learn?
The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a work of art.
Elements of Art are the visual "tools" that artists use to create an art work - they are what makes up an image or an art object: line, shape/form, value, color, space, and texture.
Principles of Design are the ways artists use the Elements of Art in an artwork - this is "what we do with the Elements" - how we arrange them, how we balance them, what is being emphasized, etc. The principles are: balance, contrast, repetition, emphasis, and unity.

Elements of Art are the visual "tools" that artists use to create an art work
Artists manipulate these elements, mix them in with principles of design and compose a piece of art. Not every work has every last one of these elements contained within it, but there are always at least two present.
For example, a sculptor, by default, has to have both form and space in a sculpture, because these elements are three-dimensional. They can also be made to appear in two-dimensional works through the use of perspective and shading.
There are six Elements of Art:
- Line
- Shape / Form
- Value
- Color
- Space
- Texture

Principles of Design are the ways artists use and arrange the Elements of Art in a composition.
The Principles of design is what we do to the elements of art. How we apply the Principles of design determines how successful we are in creating a work of art.
