Pattern- When items repeat. It can be singular or sequenced.
Contrast- The differences between things; strong, sharp, soft, subtle.
Balance- The arrangement of the Elements; symmetrical, asymmetrical, or radial.
Movement- The direction your eye moves through the artwork; starts a focal point.
Emphasis- The focal point, the most important part of the artwork.
Rhythm- The visual beat, regular, irregular, stacatto

Line- straight, wavy, zig-zag, dotted, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, parallel, crosshatch, implied, outline, gesture
Color-primary, secondary, tertiary,neutral,warm, cool, tint, shade, complimentary, analogous
Shape-geometric (square,triangle, circle), organic (free flowing), open, closed
Value- Highlights, mid-tones, shadows, shading, subtle contrast, soft-contrast, chiaroscuro
Space-deep, shallow, overlapping, one-point perspective, 2-point perspective, aerial perspective
Form-height, width, depth, sculpture, actual, representational
Texture- real, simulated, smooth, rough, prickly

The artist used color as 1 element of art and they used it by using different colors that are not in any different values of each other. The artist also used space/perspective because the tiger is standing very broadly in the front and the trees behind it represent the natural size of it. The artist used texture because the wood on the tiger has ridges in them while also the water has ripples and the tree has the indentation of a real leaf. This artist used emphasis because the lion sticks out more than anything else because its bigger. The artist also used unity because everything in the piece is representing that the tiger is strong and powerful we being the main part in the piece.
This artist uses contrast and emphasis in this piece. The artist uses contrast in the piece because the lion is made out of warm colors while the background was made of cool colors. This makes a sharp contrast in the art piece. The artist also seems to use more of a geometric style in the lion, and his/her lines are perfectly clear, and not fuzzy like the texture of the trees in the background. The artist also uses emphasis in this piece because the lion is the emphasis of the art piece. Because the artist used warmer and more dominant colors, the lion sticks out to your eye. The lion is also more geometric than the background, which is organic. Incorporated in these principles are the elements of lines, texture, and colors. The artist uses wavy and curvy lines in the background, and he uses straight lines in the lion. The texture seems very fuzzy in the background, but in the foreground, it seems cold and hard. Finally, the artist uses warm colors in the foreground and cool colors in the background.
One of the elements in this mural is lines because its showing a strong outline of the lion. This piece of work also uses a lot of colors and they are having a strong contrast making the lion stick out. That also leads in making the lion the emphasis of this piece because it is the biggest and has the most detail. This lion has a lot of patterns in the chest are because it is using shapes like rectangle to make a beautiful area of detail.
In this mural, the artist uses the elements of art color, shape and space, and the principles of art contrast and emphasis. The use of color is all over the mural, the chimera has warm colors, showing ferocity with the primary red and secondary orange, like a danger sign. The trees, ground and water have cold colors, as they are more passive and not what is to be feared. This also causes the chimera to be more noticeable than if it were green or grey. The shapes are mostly present as organic shapes, the trees are the best example of this, the leaves are imperfect dots. The lines are literally all over the mural, mostly in the chimera's face and wings. The contrast is in the sky to trees and trees to chimera. The chimera is drawn of mostly warm colors, as where the sky and trees are cool colors. This has something to do with factories being threatening, as the chimera is comprised of machinery. The emphasis point on this mural is the machine chimera, it's the biggest and has the most detail. When I look at this mural, the first thing I notice is the chimera, standing over a river of bones and under a sky full of smog.
The artist uses texture, value, color, and lines in this piece. The lines interchange between curving around the lions body and being straight to emphasis on the mane and other places. They use reds, oranges, and blues as colors, the reds and oranges are warm colors while the blues are cold colors. The artist uses texture because if you look at parts of the lion they seem as if they would cut you if they were touched. Finally the artist uses value because there are different shades of the reds and blues.
The artist also uses unity and emphasis on this piece. The most dominant color is red and is highlighted with orange with a blue background. The emphasis in this piece is the lion in the center because of its size, but my eye is attracted to the tire nod it's front shoulder.
