Lines direct the eye, shapes form 3D objects like pyramids, and space surrounds subjects. Color stands out, textures differ from rough gravel to soft slush, and values add drama with blacks, whites and grays. Repetition patterns bricks, emphasis highlights faces, and balance/unity/contrast work together to depict movement.
