11. 4. Organization of the Work A.Selectivity – the selection of elements to use B.Variation & Contrast – heightens the difference and emphasizes a point C.Focus or Emphasis and Subordination – a good art form focuses on a point D.Proportion & Balance – the distribution of weights

12. E.Movement & Dynamism – excitement created by the interaction of the elements F.Logic – reason for the elements to exists G.Unity & Harmony – when parts contribute harmoniously to complete the whole H.Clarity – clear concept and creation.

13. 5. Symbolisms, Allusions & References An allusion is a reference, within a literary work, to another work of fiction, a film, a piece of art, or even a real event. An allusion serves as a kind of shorthand, drawing on this outside work to provide greater context or meaning to the situation being written about. While allusions can be an economical way of communicating with the reader, they risk alienating readers who do not recognize these references.

14. Emphasis: The areas highlighted or emphasized in the artwork captures the interest of the viewer at the first glance. Technically it's the aesthetic placement of the elements to bring out perfection. Harmony: The complications of a painting are reduced by harmonizing all the elements. It's a way to make the image appear more homogeneous by using similar elements throughout. Movement: Directional movement is responsible for the visual impact of the artwork. Movement depicts actions and the path followed by the eye of the viewer to scrutinize the artwork. It adds vibration and life to the image that is transformed into action. Unity: The effective use of the principles and the elements bring out the unity as a whole. The feeling of completeness through appropriate use of the elements result in unity of the artwork. Balance: Balance is maintained in three different ways. A picture can be radial, asymmetrical or symmetrical. In doing so one has to implement his/her technical skills to paint (and understand) the image and create the balance.

15. Variety: Variety prevails in an artwork when different forms and colors are combined harmoniously. In this case, the elements (contrast, size, brightness, color) of art play a key role to make the gradation uniform. Proportion: It's the measurement of the quantity of the elements to compose the artwork. The proportions when enlarged depict the importance of a figure. Before beginning with the artwork, one has to understand the laws of proportion. Contrast: The visual discord created in the composition defines the contrasting features. It presents the difference between the objects by emphasizing the background, shapes and nature of the objects. Rhythm: The recurrence of uniformity is known as rhythm of the elements. The consistency of elements can be maintained by using the same pattern of color and sketches for the movements (or still) of the objects.

16. a. Space – refers to the field in which the art exists; b. Line – movement from one point to the next, therefore, it has direction; c. Shape – as the line moves, it creates shape d. Texture – refers to the tactile quality of surfaces; e. Color – used to refer to feelings; f. Movement – refers to the energy impulses that the art form carries, creating tension and relaxation; g. Rhythm – it provides the pulse of life of the art work.

17. Form: This aspect is more applicable for three dimensional objects where height, width and depth of the images are given importance. Sculptures with different shapes like, cubical, sphere, pyramidal etc are the examples of different forms of elements. Texture: The visual effect created by using variation the pattern of natural surfaces is illustrated by the texture of the painting. It is also brought about by using different types of colors. Technically, it has to be tactile. Color: One of the most important element of the artwork is the color. One requires complete knowledge about the color mixing technique that involves, primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Tinting and shading are also included in this point.

18. Shape: Shapes can be natural (human beings, animals, landscapes, etc), geometric (triangle, square, circle, cubic, etc) and organic (leaf, poodle, fruits, etc). The amount of two dimensional space utilized forms the shape of the object that is further accentuated by the other elements of art. Line: The span or distance between two objects is connected by a line. In artwork, lines are used as margins, boundaries, borders, stripes or for pointing the right direction. Lines are also drawn to depict movements of objects. Value: A monochromatic piece of artwork is always emphasized by contrast to expose the clarity of the image. Thus, the value of contrast effects has more weightage. In simple words, it's the intensity of lightness and darkness of the image.
