Elements of Design

The elements are  components or parts which can be isolated and defined in any visual design or work of art. They are the structure of the work, and can carry a wide variety of messages.
The elements are :

Point
Line
Form, shape and space
Movement
Color
Pattern
Texture

Point

The point is the first and the simplest element of visual design.

EXAMPLE OF POINT:

LINE

Line in drawing refers to a type of mark that contains both a direction and a length.  Line is an art element.  There are numerous varieties of possible lines, including curved, bent, thick, wide, broken, vertical, horizontal, burred, or freehand.  Lines are frequently used to delineate shapes, forms and spaces.  The representation of volume, edges, movement and patterns can all be created using line.  Lines can create both 2D and 3D objects and figures.

Texture

In the visual arts, texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. Use of texture, along with other elements of design, can convey a variety of messages and emotions.

Value

Value refers to dark and light.
Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.
This type can be read because of the contrast of dark letters and light background.
Value contrast is also evident in colors, which enables us to read shapes in a painting.
