Elements of Design:
I chose a line in a parking lot to describe a line because it is exactly that a straight line.

For shape I chose a stop sign.  The stop sign is a hexagon shape which is geometric.

For Forms I chose a entrance post to a cemetery which held up a giant round ball.  This ball was diffidently a three-dimensional shape.  Expressing depth length and width.

 Space I chose a fish swimming in a lake. It expressed open space referring to the feeling of depth.

Color expressed in hues and intensity, I chose two flowers with the same color but in different hues and intensity's to show the differences.

For texture I tried to show the texture of a grave stone and how the artist carved out a tree with the families name on it.

Principles of Design:

In Balance i used a sculpture of a women on her knees to show the form and how she designed to feel staple.

In Emphasis I Chose my photo of a boat on the ocean floor as the tide went out.  The emphasis is on the boat not the landscape or the lack of water.

Movement I chose the ripple in the water to show how the water is moving.

Pattern I chose a line of evergreens and how their shape and design was the same creating a pattern among them.

In repetition I chose a picture of a cemetery and all the grave stones that repeat throughout the cemetery.

Proportion,  I chose again the sculpture of the women and how all her body portions where very real and almost life like.

For Rhythm i chose a picture a picture of a child on the marry go round, this to me created organized movement for me.

Variety,  I chose a picture of a child on a playground that expressed lines, color, proportion allowing the audience to look at her the colors the landscape and more.

In Unity I chose a rainbow. This to me expresses everything that art is beautiful and at times full of color.
