Proportion

Alone, this apple may look small. But because of the relationship to the flag, the proportion of it seems large.

Balance

This image is showing balance by using asymmetry. The trees on the right, compared to the ones on the left, arn't the same size but they take up about the same amount of space.

Variety

Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe", contains the element of variety by creating the same image but using many different colours.

Shade

Shade is created in this image by having a contrast between the black and warm colours, giving the tree a 3-dimensional effect.

Harmony

This image appears unified. It looks as though the fish would fit together perfectly if you pushed them closer towards each other. This is showing that they seem to belong together creating harmony and unity. The color of the background also unifies the fish, by not making them disappear into the background. But at the same time not making them seem out of place.

Space

Space is created by the placment of objects in terms of how the audience looks at

an image. This image gives you a sense of looking down a road.

Shape

Picasso uses shapes to create images. In this particular piece, sharp, angular shapes are used.

Colour

Color can help emphasis the mood of a piece of work. For example yellow could represent happiness or excitement while purple may show confusion and loneliness.

Rhythm

Rhythm is created by the repetition of design. In this image, both colour and shape are repeated.

Line

Line is being shown in this image by creating shapes and motion.
