Elements and Principles of Design

During the first and second week into the project, we were introduced to element of design and we were asked to made an glossary contain from those elements with every each of them will have an definitions. Elements and Principles of Design, there are 7  of art meanings for each designs so that make up 14 elements.

Elements of Design;
Line / Shape / Space / Texture / Colour / Value / Form
Learning to understand the different techniques and the uses of materials also explaining each elements definitions for all the glossary pages. For this start, i choose to do colour and texture because it's what I'm usually like doing the most and thinks it would be the easiest one, out of all the elements.

Principles of Design;
Pattern / Contrast / Emphasis / Balance / Proposition / Harmony / Rhythm.
I'm starting off with patterns and emphasis because of my personal interests so i decided to do those two in the class then i will completed other in my own times.

 Elements of Design:

Materials i used on colour is acrylic paint and pencil. At first i free draw the hand with pencil, looking at my own hand and it's take awhile to get it right but i still done it. After that i draw with the paint.

Texture, materials i used is line paper, hard brush and acrylic paint. However i made the mistake at first by trying to make it into collage but end up realise it's wrong so I tried to rip it off, make the background has texture and stick the line papers on the hands shape.

The materials used on Space was ink colour and acrylic pain. At first i draw a hands with pencil, adding details etc. and after that using end of the brushes, i draw onto the pencil and colour the background with black paint to create those spaces.

 Shape, i wanted to use different materials but similar background colour. techniques that i used was cool and warms colour and to make it into shape, i draw the position of the hand in shape on the middle. I used chalk to colour the hands and oil pastels to covers the background. 

Line, two materials that i use was broad/liner and water colour. Drawing the hands with liner/broad and after that carefully colour the background with watercolour.

Form, materials that i used was pencil to draw the basic of hand, after that i paint it and finish off with colour the background with water colour.

Value, material that i used is pencil and broad. Picking up the deep lines with dark pencil and lightly add little details with lighter pencil.

Principles of Design

Patterns, i used started the pencil to draw simple basic of the hand with patterns and after that, draw on top with broad/liner after completed that, I'm trying to make the background also become patterns so i add draw an background with colour pencil.

Similar techniques and materials as patterns. 

Emphasis, using paint to colour the background and hand.

Harmony, At first i was drawing the hands with pencil and went over it with acrylic paint then using sponge with colour paint of top, it doesn't looks right so i draw the outside with ink.

both have same techniques and material. All i used was pencil to do a quick sketch and after that i draw the hand with ink, using bottom of the brush, adding the details with ink as well.

Using pencil and acrylic paint, drawing the hands with pencil and after paint on top.
