ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART

The elements and principles of art are the basic ingredients in creating any work of art.
Think of your artwork as a salad (weird, I know) and the elements and principles as ingredients in your salad. You need a balance and variety of ingredients to make a tasty salad, just like you need a balance and variety of elements and principles to make a successful work of art. 


Basics for elements and principles.
