32. Lets Review What We Covered
• Basic design can be broken down into
art elements and design principles.
• The art elements are the building blocks and
the design principals are the rules and
guidelines.
• These elements and principles make up a
visual language that can be used to: plan,
create, and critique a piece of artwork.
