Course-specific: I want to learn to use wet materials more effectively.
Elements and Principles of Art
Elements
Line: Lines are points moving through space. Lines can be thin, thick, curved, straight, dotted, etc.
Shape: Shapes are 2D. They can be geometric or organic.
Form: Same as shape but 3D.
Colour: The tone, shade, and saturation of the colours.
Texture: The surface quality, such as rough, smooth, bumpy, etc.
Space: The area around the elements.
Value: The darkness or lightness/shade or tint of something.
Principles
Contrast: The use of opposite elements together to emphasise them.
Emphasis: Putting focus on one part of the piece, usually by making it different.
Balance: Making the piece look even by having an even amount of stuff in the piece, or having it uneven for emphasis.
Harmony: Using parts of the whole to make the whole coherent.
Movement: Implied motion, moving the eyes across the piece.
