Elements and Principles of Design

The ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES of Art are guidelines or tools that artists use to create good compositions (how the artwork is put together). Beginning artists rely heavily on these guidelines as they learn how to create successful works of art. Experienced artist still use many of these tools, but don't need to follow them to achieve a great art piece. In order to break the Elements and Principles of Art protocols and still create a good composition, the artist must have a strong, working knowledge of the purposes and methods behind these guidelines. We are going to use the list of Elements and Principles found below, although you can find a variety of different list on line..

Principles of Art

Principles are how we use the elements. It is the way we create our art. If we were baking a cake, these would be the techniques we use to blend our ingredients together (like chopping or mixing, etc.)
