The Elements of Art focuses on the seven fundamental components of visual art: line, shape, form, space, color, value, and texture. These elements provide a foundation for creating art, improving artistic skills, and understanding how to analyze artworks. Students learn about the purpose of each element as a building block for creating impactful, elevated work and for developing a critical eye.

The Principles of Art teaches young artists how to organize the elements of art (like line, color, shape) to create composition and convey meaning through the core principles of visual art: balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, pattern, rhythm, unity, variety and proportion. These principles provide a foundation for students to develop more effective compositions and create elevated artworks.
