Element of Design- Form
 
Although many examples of the element Form are black and white, this particular photo has a little bit of color. Granted, it isn't very exciting color, but that's not the point. The lighting coming from the left side of the photo gives the object depth. The lighting makes the shapes of this object stand out much more than they would without the uneven lighting.

Element of Design- Shape

This photo represents shape pretty well, in my opinion. When I first saw this photo, I saw the circle shape made by the wood of the colored pencils. After looking at it for a while, I began to see a sort of star shape in the middle. The star is an example of negative space. The circle would be positive space, because there are actually object there making the shape.
Element of Design- Line

To me, this photo seemed like a good choice for the Line element because of the five prominent curved lines. This photo, due to the curved lines, seems like it is a very serene building. The street on which this photo was taken may very well be busy, loud, and chaotic, but the way this was taken, the building seems calm. Also, the colors are beautiful.
