RE: Elements, Principles & Artists: I hope this helps!

Hi,

I know I am answering this late...I had a handout on how someone (don't
remember the author) defined the principles...it was a whole diagram of the
elements and principles...I think this is what it included:

elements:
line, shape, texture, color, and value

principles:
creation of space (how to create space: overlap, linear perspective, changes
in detail and value as objects recede, change in scale as objects
recede-foreground, middleground, and background are part of the vocabulary
here too as well as positive/negative space), movement, scale and
proportion, dominance, focal point, rhythm, repetition, variety, harmony,
balance (symmetry, assymmetry, radial), the most important is unity...that
is the overall goal to produce a sense of unity using these other
principles...

I know there are a few more principles I am missing...but this is close to a
complete list...

Jeanne

I use the old Joe Gatto ones:
Elements: Line, Shape & Form, Value, Texture, Color and Space

Principles: Emphasis, Contrast, Balance, Movement, Rhythm, Unity

Now here's a question for you all:

What does your list of the elements consist of? And the principles
too?

Let's see how we all differ and see if we can come up with some kind
of
common ground . . . shall we?
