The elements of art, are the 'words' of art and the visual vocabulary used by an artist. The elements of art consist of color, value, line, texture, shape, form and space. Artists use the elements of art to express their ideas.

The principles of art consist of balance, emphasis, harmony, variety, gradation, movement, rhythm, and proportion.

Unity is used to refer to the overall look and feel of an artwork. In works where unity is evident, the elements and principles work together to show harmony and completeness.
