4. Line: The drops of red food coloring are swirled together to create an oblique line. As the eye curves around the swirls it can create an implied line to connect the two ends to make a figure eight.

5. Shape: The square griddle and round pancake are defining the boundaries with geometric shapes. The pancake and griddle are the positive shapes, while the space between them are the negative shape.

6. Form: This apple is given a three-dimensional sphere shape by the light that cast shadows on the surface showing the different indentation that cover it.

7. Space. The light and the shadows of the microwave help to convey the negative space around this dish. The focal point is the round black button on the top-middle of the dish.

8. Value: You cannot see where the light is coming from. However, you can conclude that the light of the refrigerator must be coming from the top right and top left, because as your eye moves down the shelves away from the light, the value of the items in the refrigerator darken.

9. Color: These straws use primary and secondary colors within the same intensity to makes each colors stand out. This is an example of using Triadic harmonies to create a unified look.

10. Texture: The smooth round apple is contrasted against the woven wooden bowl it sits in. The interweaving of the bowl create a since of a real tactile texture.

11. Rhythm: This is what is known as regular rhythm. The repeat of round spoon shapes, metallic color and the smooth texture of the utensils keeps the focus of the eyes on the utensils. The pattern and line of spoons, knives and forks look as if it go on past the vanishing point.

12. Movement: This is Implied Movement. It is implied that this person is just walking by. Look at the direction of the body, the placement of the feet and the lines of the legs. It is not until you look at the top of the picture and see the buttons of the dishwasher that you notice that it is really a reflection.

13. Balance: There is always a symmetrical balance or formal balance to any table setting. If you were to put a line down the middle of the picture you would have the same on either side or a horizontal balance.

14. Proportion or scale These food containers come in many different shapes and sizes for food storage. They are the perfect scale for each type of food they are designed to store.

15. Variety: The smiling little girl , the black stove, the white door in the background, the tile floor, the beige walls, and the wooden drawer all add to the variety of the picture. The repeating colors in her outfit and the objects around her also give it a since of unity.

16. Emphasis: The focal point is not on the knife but on the reflection of the eyes on the knife. The straight lines of the top and the jagged bottom of the knife are used to create an emphasis on the eyes.
