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.
