Elements:
1. Line- An element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.
2. Shape An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width.
3. Form An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free flowing.
4. Value The lightness or darkness of tones or colors. White is the lightest value; black is the darkest. The value halfway between these extremes is called middle gray.
5. Space An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art .
6. Color An element of art made up of three properties: hue, value, and intensity. • Hue: name of color.
7. Texture An element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might feel if touched.
Principles:
1. Variety A principle of design concerned with diversity or contrast. Variety is achieved by using different shapes, sizes, and/or colors in a work of art.
2. Contrast A way of combining elements to stress the differences between those elements. Extreme difference between the elements of design within a space.
3. Emphasis (Visual Hierarchy)- what you are drawn to first in a design. This starts the first level of visual hierarchy or order in which you look at each item in the design.
4. Balance A way of combining elements to add a feeling of equilibrium or stability to a work of art. Major types are symmetrical and asymmetrical.
5. Proportion A principle of design that refers to the size relationship of certain elements to the whole and to each other.
6. Harmony/Unity A way of combining similar elements in an artwork to accent their similarities (achieved through use of repetitions and subtle gradual changes)
7. Rhythm/ Movement A principle of design used to create the look and feeling of action and to part of the design. Rhythm is created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work of art to cause a visual tempo or beat along with movement.

Assignment: Elements & Principles Google Slides
Given visual and descriptive examples of each of the elements and principles of design, you will be able to choose one professional graphic design and analyze the use of an element and principle located within. This will be completed in Google Slides with an image of the design on top and at least 3 sentences explaining one element and one principle it contains.

Lets Get Started!
To get started open a new tab and type in Google Slides or click the link below:
1. Open Google Slides
2. Choose a "blank" presentation.
3. Create a Google Slides presentation that identifies each of the elements and principles of design. Items should be accompanied by a GRAPHIC DESIGN IMAGE and a DESCRIPTION explaining how each ties into the specific E or P.
You will be doing this for 14 total graphic designs representing the following:
