Elements of Design-- 7) Space

Space is the area around, within, and between objects. There is positive and negative space which both give the illusion of depth to a picture. Positive space is the subject of a peice, while negative space balances and highligts positive shapes. The trees in this picture are an example of positive space, while the snow and sky are examples of negative space.

Elements of Design-- 6) Form

Form is the 3-dimesionality of an object. Its what gives an object length, width, and depth. Organic shapes and geometric shapes can have form. Shading can add the illusion of form. After shading was added to the picture above, the object seems to look 3 dimensional.

Elements of Design-- 5) Texture

Texture is the surface quality of an object. It is what makes a picture look rough or smooth and adds dimension to pictures. The texture in the picture above looks very rough and dry to me.

Elements of Design-- 4) Shape

Shapes are whate make up objects. There are geometric shapes and organic shapes in design and art. Organic shapes are created to look how you create them, while geometric shapes are more generic and recognizable such as square, triangle, ect.
