smooth , rough etc. it may be actual or implied.
FORM → a three-dimensional objects or something in two-dimensional artwork that appears
to be three-dimensional.
SPACE → is concerned with the area deep within the moment of designated design, the design
will take place on.

3. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
→ is what we use to organize element of arts, or the tools to make arts.
BALANCE
→ visual equality in shape, form, value, color, etc. Balance can be symmetrical or
asymmetrical. Objects, values, colors, textures, shapes, forms, etc., can be used in creating a
balance in a composition.
→a work of art possesses balance when its visual or actual weights on masses (including
color masses) are distributed in such a way that they achieve harmony.
→gives a feeling of stability and rest
CONTRAST
→ offers some change in value creating a visual discord in a composition. Contrast shows
the difference between shapes and can be used as a background to bring objects out and
forward in a design.
→ achieves emphasis by setting the point of emphasis apart from the rest of its background.
Various kinds of contrasts are possible. The use of a neutral background isolates the point of
emphasis.
RHYTHM
→ is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. It can be fast “Tempo” , or Slow
and more melodic.
→is the regular repetition of sensory impression. A series of units repeated one after another
produces rhythmic movement.
EMPHASIS
→ then focal point of an image, or one area or things stand out the most.
→means the giving the proper importance to the parts or the whole.
→ is also referred to as point of focus, or interruption. It marks the locations in a composition
which most strongly draw the viewers attention.
PROPORTION
→ relationship to one part to another or to the whole with respect to the size , quantity , or
degree ; a ratio.
→ is the comparative relationship of the parts of or the composition to each other and to the
whole.
→ refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements in a design.
UNITY or HARMONY
→ when all the elements work together to create a pleasing image.
→ is oneness or wholeness.
→ a work of art achieves unity when its parts are necessary to the composition.
