Elements of Art and Principles of Design in Photography

Lines -are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

I chooses this art picture because on how the the lines are forming the bull.

I choose this photo because as the zebra has lines all over he's body that blinds it with the rest of the lines.

Shape - are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

I choose this art picture because of the shape of the wood faces it shows the shape of the eyes nose and mouth etch.. 

I choose this photo because it shows how the shape of the mountains are captured. 

Color -wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

I choose this art picture because on how the colors are matching all together and how the colors blend in.

I choose this picture because its colorful and the colors blend in together.

Value - or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between. Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

I choose this art picture because it shows how more than one thing are together in different dimencionals.

I choose this picture because it shows how the water contrast with the girl movement having more than one thing in the picture.

Form -describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

I choose this art picture because it has the three-dimensional things the width,length, and the height of the guy.

I choose this photo because it show the length the width and height of the little girl face.

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

I choose this art picture because of  the texture that they put on the shapes of the stars and on the rest of the painting.

I choose this picture because of the line texture that the trunk of the tree has.

Space -refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

 

I choose this art picture because of the space that it has between the two subjects.

I choose this picture because as well of the space that it has between the subject and how the sky is close to the land but at the same time is has the space between them.

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; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

I choose this art picture because its showing the balance of the men and the women being on the center of the portrait.

I choose this picture because it shows how the rocks are in the middle of each-other and they are being balance.

FContrast-is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

I choose this art photo because of the colors on how the cape on her hair contrast with her clothes and how they blend in with black background.

I choose this photo because on how the sun of the light is contrasting the people on the side. 

Emphasis - is 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 interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.

I choose this art photo because on how the center of the flower is standing out focusing on it.

I choose this photo because the flower is being emphasis its being more focused and blended on the rest of the flowers.

 Movement- in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

I choose this art picture because it shows the moves of the wave on how it flows.

I choose this picture because it show the movement on how she is moving on her dance moves.

Patterns -are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

I choose this art picture because of the pattern that it keeps on going with the cans.

 

I choose this picture becaus of the stair pattern that it keeps on going.

Rhythm- is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

I choose this art picture because on how the people are sitting together and dancing and how its repeating on each-other and have the same elements.

 I choose this photo because of the birds having the same space between and how it repeats.

Unity- means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

I choose this art picture becaue on lines that they stick together and it really doesen't have no change to it.

 

I choose this photo because how the lines of the subjects have in common that they unite together.
