The Principles of Design: Are you becoming familiar with them?

This post should help! :)

In your artist's statements following each studio project, you will be responsible for accurately using the language of art. The principles of design are an important aspect of this language along with the elements of art. Below are some visuals to use as a study resource.

ELEMENTS of Art & PRINCIPLES of Design

Elements of Art: 

Line, Shape, Color, Form, Value, Texture, Space

Principles of Design: 

Emphasis, Pattern, Rhythm, Unity/Harmony, Balance, Proportion, Movement, Variety

All artwork is made up of the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Over the course of this year, we will discuss how the elements and principles relate to each and every piece of art we create. Below you will find a link to my Evernote document showcasing some of these vocabulary terms. You may use this document as a resource and study tool during projects and self-evaluations.
