  1. 1. The juxtaposition of different elements in a composition to create visual interest, emphasis, or drama. Contrast can be achieved through differences in color, value, texture, size, or shape.
  2. 4. The path the viewer's eye takes through a composition, guided by visual elements such as lines, shapes, and implied motion. Movement can create a sense of flow, rhythm, or narrative progression in artworks.
  3. 6. The distribution of visual weight in a composition, which can be symmetrical (equal weight on both sides), asymmetrical (unequal balance), or radial (balanced around a central point).
  4. 9. The path of a moving point. Lines can be straight, curved, thick, thin, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or zigzag.
  5. 11. The three-dimensional aspect of an object, which has height, width, and depth. Forms can be geometric (e.g., cubes, spheres) or organic (natural and irregular).
  6. 12. Repetition of elements or motifs in a regular and organized manner. Patterns can be decorative, structural, or symbolic, and they can create visual harmony and rhythm in compositions.
  7. 14. A two-dimensional area defined by boundaries such as lines or color. Shapes can be geometric (e.g., squares, circles) or organic (irregular and flowing).
  8. 15. The area around, between, or within objects in a composition. Space can be positive (occupied by objects) or negative (empty), and it can create depth and perspective in artworks.

  1. 2. The repetition or alternation of elements in a composition to create a sense of visual movement or flow. Rhythm can be regular, irregular, fast, slow, or syncopated, like in music.
  2. 3. The surface quality or feel of an object, which can be perceived through touch or visually simulated. Texture can be actual (tactile) or implied (visual).
  3. 5. The harmonious integration of all elements and principles in a composition, creating a sense of wholeness or completeness. Unity ensures that all parts of an artwork contribute to the overall message or meaning.
  4. 7. A mark made by a tool, which has length and direction. Lines can vary in thickness, direction, and curvature, and they can be used to define shapes, create texture, or imply movement.
  5. 8. The visual sensation produced by the reflection or absorption of light. Colors have three properties: hue (the name of the color), value (lightness or darkness), and intensity (brightness or dullness).
  6. 10. The focal point or center of interest in a composition, which attracts the viewer's attention and creates hierarchy. Emphasis can be achieved through contrast, isolation, placement, or repetition of elements.
  7. 13. The relative lightness or darkness of a color or tone. Value is important for creating contrast, defining form, and conveying mood in artworks.
