A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Elements of design

The Elements of Design are the basic visual components—line, shape, form, space, texture, color, value, scale, proportion, rhythm, balance, contrast, emphasis, unity, variety, harmony, and pattern—that artists and designers manipulate to create meaning and visual interest. Mastering these elements allows students to analyze and critique visual works, a skill heavily tested in the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE exams.
