Design

**Design**
 Traditional Design is the framework in which all art can be made and critiqued. In the American classroom, Two Dimensional and Three Dimensional Design centers on using the Elements of Art (Line, Value, Texture, Space, Shape/Form & Color) and Principles of Art (Balance, Rhythm, Proportion, Unity/ Harmony, Emphasis, Movement & Variety/ Contrast).
