CRITICAL STUDY (DCC 2084)

 Understanding Element of Design.

   Elements are components or parts which can be isolated and defined in any visual design or work of art and carry a wide variety of massages.

The Element are:

• Line
• Shape
• Color
• Texture
• Value
• Size
• Space

Line.

 

Image 1.

    An outline, it can create texture and can be thick and thin. Line can include actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal and contour lines.

Shape.

Image 1.1

    A 2-dimensional line with no form or thickness. Shapes are flat and can be grouped into two categories, geometric and organic.

Color.

Image 1.2

   The color wheel is a way of showing the chromatic scale in a circle using all the colors made with the primary triad. Complimentary pairs can produce dull and neutral color.  Black and white can be added to produce tints (add white), shades (add black) and tones (add gray).

Texture.

Image 1.3

    Texture can be real or implied by different uses of media. It is the degree of roughness or smoothness in objects.

Value.

Image 1.4

      It is the contrast between black and white and all the tones in between its also, value can be used with color as well as black and white. Contrast is the extreme changes between values.

Size.

Image 1.5

   3-dimensional object having volume and thickness. 3-D effect that can be implied with the use of light and shading techniques. Form can be viewed from many angles.


Space.

Image 1.6

    Refers to variations in the perspective, and proportions of objects, lines or shapes. There is a variation of sizes in space of objects either real or imagined.
