Design elements
In the field of Science, elements are substances that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance by chemical means. ( www.dictionary.com) Taking that definition and extrapolating it to art and design elements, would mean that design elements are the most simple building blocks in design. Just as larger things are made up of many elements, when we view different types of art we see a collection of various design elements.
It is important for artist to have a set of unique terms when describing these elements. Using these specific terms allows them to communicate about the subject with a concise language that has specific meaning to what they are referencing. (Hagen, 2017, p44).
