7 Principles of Design
Understand what Principles of Design do in a work of art
Observe how the Principles of 1
Contrast and Emphasis use the Element of Value
1 The Element of Contrast is used interchangeably with Variety. In the language of Art, they mean the same thing.
The 7 Elements of Art
Value
Line
Shape
Form
Color
Space
Texture
They are the basic parts of any artwork.
They are rarely seen by themselves.
There are many ways to use them.
An artist chooses how to use the Elements of Art, much like a chef chooses ingredients to use in his/her cooking!

They organize the Elements of ArtThey are rarely used separatelyThere are many ways to combine themThey are the “recipes” in which we use the Elements of Art (the ingredients)
Aunt Ruby’s Recipe for CONTRAST
Add a lot of dark values and a lot of light values with just a pinch of medium values…yum!!!

Let’s start with the Element of Value
In the language of art, Value is how light or dark something is. In the example to the right, there is a large Range of Values.
The are light values, medium values, and dark values.This helps move our eye around the picture.
It would be boring just to stare at one part of the picture!
Artwork by Jenny
This value scale shows a full Range of Values. Do you see a range of
values in this picture?
Value scale from About Art
Artwork by Jenny
Which picture has a wider Range of Values?
#1 #2
Value can refer to color as well as black and white. See the 2 examples below:
Look how Value is used in these two works of art:
1. George de La Tour
2. Louise Nevelson
Answer the following question:
Which picture has a wider Range of Values (selection of lights, mediums, darks)?
Click for choices:
De La Tour uses the Element of De La Tour uses the Element of Value to give Value to give EmphasisEmphasis to the to the newborn baby in the picture. He is newborn baby in the picture. He is using using Contrast Contrast to draw our eye to to draw our eye to that spot. The light value is a that spot. The light value is a Contrast to the darker values. Our Contrast to the darker values. Our eye is moved to the part in the eye is moved to the part in the picture which is most different from picture which is most different from the other parts of the picture. In this the other parts of the picture. In this case, the spot we are drawn to is case, the spot we are drawn to is where the Value is the lightest. where the Value is the lightest.
The eye is immediately drawn to the Value which is most different. In this example, it’s where the Value is the lightest. That is where the Emphasis is.
EXCELLENT WORK!
Remember when we said that the Elements and Principles worked together……?
What Principle/s are working with Value in “The Newborn”
Contrast
Emphasis
Both Contrast and Emphasis
Now you’ve learned how Value can give Emphasis to a part in a pictureand produce Contrast
The Emphasis is on the white box!
Congratulations!
You are familiar with the Elements and Principles of Design.You understand how they work togetherYou can identify the Element of ValueYou know what the Principles of Contrast and Emphasis areYou understand how Contrast and Emphasis can use Value
Look at De La Tour’s “The Newborn”once more….
Where is the lightest Value in the picture?
On the newborn baby
On the head of the lady to the left
On the right hand of the woman holding
the baby

Great Job!
Picture #1 has a wider Range of Values
No Range of Values here!
#2 Has nearly the same Value throughout the picture. Guess Again!
That’s almost right!
Contrast is definitely a Principle we find in “The Newborn”
Sorry. Try again.
Hint: which part of the picture is most different from the other parts?
That’s right!!!! Both Contrast and Emphasis work with Value in this picture.
Value is working with both Contrast and Emphasis. The light value contrasts with the darker values in the picture and in this way the head of “The Newborn” is given Emphasis.

OOOOOOH! You’re getting warmer!
Emphasis is definitely a principle used in “The Newborn” – there is definitely Emphasis on the area where the Value is the lightest!
Bingo! Right on target!!!!
Value helps employ both Principles of Design: Emphasis and Contrast
Almost.
This area is almost as light in value as the area of the newborn’s head, but not quite…
