AVI1O - Elements of Art and Principles of Design

I realized that I had not created a blog that detailed each of these elements and principles that we focus on in Grade 9.  You are asked to build a definition of each from the glossary in ArtTalk, our text for this course.  Here they are:

Elements of Art 
Basic visual symbols in the language of art:

• Line
• Shape 
• Form 
• Space
• Colour
• Value
• Texture

Principles of Design
Rules that govern how artists organize the elements of art:
