Line: Is the most basic building block of formal analysis. Line can be used to create more complex shapes or to lead your eye from one area in the composition to another.
Value: Is the degree of light and dark in a design. It is the contrast between black and white and all the tones in between. Value can be used with color as well as black and white.
Contrast: Is the Jurassic changes between value on an object.
Shape: Is created when lines are combined to form a square, triangle, or circle. Shapes can be organic or geometric.
Form: Is a three-dimensional shape with length, width, and depth. Balls, cylinders, boxes and pyramids are forms.
Space: Is the area between and around objects. Increasing or decreasing the amount of space around an object affects the way we view that object.
Color: Differentiates and defines lines, shapes, forms, and space. Even black and white images have a huge number of different shades of gray.
Texture: Is the surface quality that can be seen. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or hard. Textures are often implied. For instance, a drawing of a rock might appear to have a rough and hard surface, but in reality is as smooth as the paper on which it is drawn.
Balance: Is created in a work of art when textures, colors, forms, or shapes are combined harmoniously. In this image, notice how the photographer achieves a sense of balance by dividing the image into two sections: one half occupied by trees, and the other half by the water.
Emphasis: Or focus is created in a work of art when the artist contrasts colors, textures, or shapes to direct your viewing towards a particular part of the image.
Pattern: Is the repetition of a shape or form across a shape.
Unity: Is made when the colors or elements of an object flow together to become smooth.
Rhythm: Is the reputation of a pattern or shape.
Contrast: When two things contract each other like black and white to form something beautiful with interoperation.
