The document discusses the key visual elements that make up images - line, shape, form, tone, color, space and texture. It provides examples of how different visual elements like lines, forms and use of space can impact the mood, meaning and three-dimensionality conveyed by an image. Specific techniques like balancing elements, framing, cropping and aspect ratios are also covered in the context of how they influence the composition of photographs.

The Art of Liquid Face Lift (Dermal Fillers)Osama Moawad
Soft tissue fillers are flexible substances that can be injected into the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, repair various facial imperfections, improve scars, and elevate deep folds. Perhaps nothing is more gratifying for cosmetic patients than having an immediate correction of rhytides or scars as a result of the injection of a dermal filler The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal "downtime" and maximum safety. Prof. Moawad uses a variety of soft tissue fillers, including, hyaluronic acid, and autologous fat (one's own fat) among others. Since filler substances do not involve major surgery and are generally cost-effective, men and women are using these youth-enhancing techniques more than ever. With the increasing desire for people to achieve a more youthful appearance, the aging baby boomer population, and the increased demand for "lunch-time procedures," the pharmaceutical market has responded by providing the cosmetic surgeon with an increasing number of options to meet the demands of the cosmetic patient.

Why Art forms of war landscapes
War landscapes represent not only just history but also passion and determination.
Most researchers and art enthusiasts agree that historical.

Unit Lesson
Chapter 3: The Visual Elements
Artists typically do not go through the visual elements as a checklist when they create their work. However,
the terms that we will be discussing in this chapter are a great way to dissect how we look at art. You might
not realize it, but you already see and understand the visual elements although you may not know the correct
terminology for what you see in the artwork. In this chapter, you will look further into the visual elements that
make up an a.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Composition 2
The Visual Elements
The visual elements (also sometimes called
design elements) are the ‘things’ which make up
an image - line, tone, shape, colour and so on.
2. 2
List of Visual Elements
the ‘things’ that make up an image
Line – actual or implied lines within the composition
Shape – areas defined by their edges within the piece.
Form – the three dimensional quality of an object or shape – its
length, width and depth.
Tone – describes the darkness or lightness of a particular area in
an image. Shading from light to dark tone is often used to
emphasize the form (an object’s three dimensional quality).
Colour - hues with their various values, intensity, and saturation
Space - the space taken up by objects or the space in-between
objects (sometimes called negative space).
Texture - surface qualities of the artwork.

Kasimir Malevich, The Black Square,
1915
Kandinsky, In the Black Square, 1923
This abstract painting by the Russian artist
Kandinsky is composed of lines, geometric
shapes, and solid colours.
The Black Square is a painting which, as the name suggest is just a black painted
square. The image is therefore composed of the visual elements colour, tone,
space and shape. However, when we study the painting more closely we discover
that the surface of the painting has texture, we see that the brush marks have left
lines, and even the black colour seems to reflect other colours from the room.
4. 4
Line
Line is a really useful visual
element when constructing
images.
Lines are formed by the
edges of things when there
is an apparent contrast
between light and dark
areas or between different
colours or textures.
Lines can also be
suggested or implied by
patterns or repetition.
In this image where are the
implied lines and where do
these lines draw the
viewer’s eye?
Henri Cartier Bresson

Horizontal And Vertical Lines
Horizontal lines can suggest
a feeling of stability,
calmness or tranquillity.
Vertical lines can suggest
power and strength.

Paul Strand
Study this urban landscape by Paul Strand. Discuss what Strand might
have been saying about the society … would you like to live there?
How do the strong vertical lines and dark shadow areas affect your
interpretation of the image?
9. 9
Diagonal Lines
Diagonal lines tend to be visually dynamic – suggesting
movement, a ‘visual tension’ and/or excitement.
Chris Monaghan www.hjk.co.uk
12. 12
Your task:
You will have 15 minutes to take a series of photographs where you have
considered line and form in your composition.
How could you change someone's perception of a place by the way that
you have composed your image?
Think about the angle that you are taking your photograph- compare them.
How does this change the outcome?
Photos will need to be printed out or sent
to me to be printed for the next lesson.

Masolino, St. Peter Healing a Cripple and the Raising of Tabitha, 1425
The added black lines show the use of a ‘vanishing point’ to create a
realistic impression of three dimensional space – commonly referred to as
‘realistic perspective’.
Form
(The three-dimensionality of the artwork)
15. 15
How does the photographer suggest three-dimensional space (i.e. depth)?
Film still from The Manchurian Candidate
16. 16
1. Man’s head is larger than woman’s so our brains interpret this as suggesting that he
is nearer to the camera than the woman.
2. Background is out of focus suggesting depth
3. The lighting creates shading suggesting three dimensional form
18. 18
Fay
Godwin
What visual
element(s) help give
this photograph
‘depth’ and a three-
dimensional
character?
Answer: the
converging lines
formed by the
tracks and ceiling
supports.
19. 19
Matisse
Some artists completely
rejected the idea that a
work of art had always
to imitate the three-
dimensional character of
the world (form), as in
this collage by Henri
Matisse entitled The
Snail.
20. 20
Tone
Angus McBean
Tone describes the darkness or
lightness of a particular area in
an image. Very light areas are
sometimes called highlights
and very dark areas are called
shadow areas.
Shading (where the tone
changes gradually from
highlight to shadow) is often
used to emphasize the form and
three dimensionality of an
object.
Shadow Mid-tone Highlight
21. 21
Texture
An image can create a visual
experience which suggests a
particular tactile sensation.
For example, this
photograph of dry rotting
wood creates an impression
or feeling of dry dustiness,
while the porcupine conjures
up the feeling of sharp
points … Ouch!
Whilst photographs normally only create
an impression of texture, other artworks
such as painting and sculpture can
include actual textures.
How could you make a photograph
include actual texture?
22. 22
Space
Space can be filled or left empty (negative space).
Study these two images of urban life …
23. 23
Space
Space can be filled or left empty (negative space).
The images are by Joel Meyerowitz and Andre Kertesz and use space
to suggest very different meanings about life in the city.
One image suggests vibrancy, action and the ‘buzz’ of city-life while
the other uses space to suggest a more melancholic, alienated and
lonely feel.
24. 24
The positioning of visual elements
(lines, shapes, colours and so on) in
an image can sometimes create a
feeling of visual balance.
Visual balane can create a feeling of
the image just being ‘right’
Images with a centrally located subject
are sometimes called ‘formal’
compositions. Having the subject in
the middle might create a sense of
visual ‘balance’ but can also appear
rather boring to the modern eye.
Note: Not all images are ‘balanced’.
Gainsborough
Balancing The Visual Elements
25. 25
How does the photographer create a feeling of ‘balance’ this image?
Norman Parkinson
26. 26
Tomatsu Shomei
At first glance this
image might not
appear balanced,
but look more
closely ….
How does Shomei
achieve balance in
this unsymmetrical
image?
28. 28
Juxtaposition
Juxtoposition is the placing of things close to one another in order
to emphasise their difference.
What is the major difference being emphasised here?
29. 29
Framing & Cropping
Togetherness
Chris Monaghan
When you take (or make) a photograph you determine the
composition by choosing the camera viewpoint and what
to include (and what not to include) within the frame.
31. 31
John Hilliard,
cause of
death, 1974.
Hilliard cleverly
took 4
photographs of
the same scene,
but changed the
camera
viewpoint and
cropping so that
each image has
a different
meaning.
32. 32
Aspect Ratio
(the ‘shape’ of an image)
Chris Monaghan
The aspect ratio of an image is the ratio of image length to width.
Example: 6:4 for 6 inch by 4 inch prints (which also equals 3:2)
33. 33
Richard Billingham
Richard Billingham produced a series of photographs about
his parents. He used the amateur 6:4 aspect ratio shape for
his images (just like amateur 6 inch x 4 inch prints).
Why might he have chosen this aspect ratio?
34. 34
The Gaze
When we look hard at someone else
our gaze can sometimes be
interpreted as if we are saying “I am
the powerful one here”. Manet’s
Olympia caused a scandal because he
painted a woman in a contemporary
setting who seemed by her gaze to be
the one with all the power - in 1863
women were meant to do as they were
told by men!
Titian, Venus D’Urbino,
1538
Manet, Olympia, 1863
35. 35
Images in which the subject looks directly at the viewer can have a
powerful or disconcerting effect.
