Elements of Design

· Point- Points or dots and lines have distinct characteristics and functions.

· Line- Can characterize a shape by being the edge of an area or surface colour, tone or pattern.

 
                                                             
· Shape- A shape is defined as an area that stands out from the space next to or around it due to a defined or implied boundary, or because of differences of value color, or texture.

· Movement- The path the viewer’s eye takes through the artwork, often to a focal area.
