Vocabulary:

Line: An Element of Art. It is literally the extension of a dot. However, when the line intersects itself, it becomes a shape.

Shape: A closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares and rectangles, or organic, like free-formed shapes or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and can express length and width.

Symmetry: is a very formal type of balance consisting of mirroring of portions of an image.

Balance: is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, texture, and space. If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable.

Color:

•Light reflected off objects is color. Color has three main characteristics:

•Hue - or its name (example red, green, blue, etc.)

•Value - how light or dark it is

•Intensity - how bright or dull it is­­­­­
