The main Visual Elements are ...
Line, Tone, Form/mass, Colour, Shape & Texture
Firstly what is colour?
Colour is light... If you have a Red flower in the light, you an see that it is red. But if you turn off the lights the flower appears to be black because it is dark. Colour is the visual sensation resulting from he reflection of wave lengths of light from reflective surfaces... so what is the colour of the flower ?
We know the flower is red but it is light that is making our eyes see it as a red flower so colour = light or else we wouldn't be able to define colours because they would be black without light.
The 3 properties of colour are...
HUE- the name of the colour.
VALUE- the lightness or darkness of the colour, yellow is the lightest in value and violet is the darkest.
INTENSITY- the saturation of the colour... the purity. chroma, brightness and dullness.
Saturated colours are where the colour is more intense.
Desaturated colours are where colours are less vibrant.
Pure Hues= Primary colours + secondary colours
Unpure Hues= more than 2 colours mixed together eg, Brown
All colours mixed together make easy to look at colours.
