Vocabulary: Language Vocabulary Elements of Design Principles of Design Theories of linguistic origins
Turn and Talk: Share with your table what you think the difference between language and vocabulary is?

The Elements of Design are visual tools the artist uses in order to create the works art whether they be: paintings, drawings, sculptures, media art or the performing arts. The tools are: Form, Shape, Color, Space, Texture, Line, Value. The Principles of Design are shaping tools the artist uses in order to shape the elements of design into the forms for art appreciation. In other words, the principles of design takes Line and makes it into a word or a figure drawing. We might take a Shape and copy it over and over again to create a Pattern (which is an principle of design). The Principles are: Pattern, Variety, Balance (asymmetrical and symmetrical), Emphasis, Proportion, Movement.
