Shape An enclosed space
Geometric shapes Circles, rectangles, squares, triangles etc.
Organic shapes Have natural, less well-defined edges (think: an amoeba, or a cloud)
Space The distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. Space can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
Texture Describes either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work.
Color (hue) We see color when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye.
Value The lightness or darkness of a color
Principle of Design Are how the elements of art are used in a composition.
Contrast To stand in opposition; to exhibit difference, unlikeness, or opposition of qualities.
Unity To achieve visual harmony where all elements are working together in a composition.
Repetition When elements of art are used more than once in a composition.
Variety 1. The state of being varied or diversified: 2. Difference; discrepancy.

Vertical Line A line that runs up and down
Horizontal Line A line that runs left to right
Orthogonal Lines Lines that connect to the vanishing points

Landscape A scene depicting nature
Foreground Area in a composition where objects are closest, largest, most vibrant and most detailed
Middle ground Area in composition in between foreground and background
