Elements of Music

Music combines vocal or instrumental sounds to evoke beauty and emotional expression.
Sound varies in quality, being either pleasant or unpleasant, and can be soft or loud.
Rhythm drives movement, influencing physical reactions like foot tapping.
Melody is the sequence of notes that forms a piece's central theme.
Harmony involves simultaneous note combinations, enriching the melody.
Timbre differentiates sounds, giving each its unique character.
Dynamics relates to music's volume, indicating softness or loudness.
Pitch defines the tonal highness or lowness of a note.
Tempo refers to the speed of music; variations include accelerando (speeding up) and ritardando (slowing down).
Duration indicates the length of tones and silences.

Elements and Principles of Art

Elements of Art are the tools artists utilize for composition:
- Line is a continuous mark made by a moving point, which can be dimensional and varied.
- Color consists of hue (name), value (lightness/darkness), and intensity (brightness/dullness).
- Shape is a 2D enclosed area defined by other elements.
- Form gives the illusion of 3D in 2D artworks or represents actual 3D objects.
- Value addresses the lightness or darkness of tones or colors.

- Texture is the perceived surface quality, whether tactile or visual.
Principles of Art guide the effective use of elements:
- Balance establishes stability through symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangements.

- Pattern involves recurring designs or motifs.
- Unity/Variety combines elements cohesively while maintaining diversity.
- Movement guides the viewer's eye and creates the illusion of action.
