Contour lines lines we draw to record boundaries. Shape two-dimensional form, in which absorbs an area with identifiable boundaries. Mass three-dimensional form that absorbs a volume of space. Value lightens or darkness of a hue, or of a neutral varying from white to black. Chiaroscuro Italian for "light-dark."

Symmetrical balance a design in which the two halves of a composition on either side of imaginary central vertical axis correspond to one another in size, shape, and placement. Asymmetrical balance not systematical. Scale size in relation some "normal" or constant size. Proportion size relationships between parts of a whole, or between two or more ties perceived as a unit; also the size relationship between an object and its surroundings. Rhythm based in repetition. Organic shape irregular, free-flowing shapes that are derived from nature. not composed of straight and perfectly arced lines. Three-dimensional space is the illusion of space that has volume or height, width, and depth.
