Principles and Elements of Design
Tina Mitchell
Focalization
-pool draws your eye, pool is framed by vegetation and stone
- Lines- straight, vertical and horizontal lines around the pool using plants, shrubs, and the stone walk-way
- Form- the trees and shrubs create form around the pool
- Texture- the plants next to the shrubs creates a rough texture
- Color- uses cool colors to create a relaxed feel, mostly shades of greens with the occasional flowers with colors
Balance
-symmetrical, even flowers, even scrubs, symmetrical statues
- Lines- all straight lines and clean corners
- Form- there is a lot of airspace, some form created by shrubs
- Texture- rough with the small trees at the entrance, the shrubs and flowers
- Color- lively color because of the yellow and white flowers against the green shrubs
Repitition
-multiple yellow flowers, multiple flower pots, lots of the same plants
- Lines-straight lines connecting with the stone path and side walk
- Form- trees in the background, not a lot of airspace
- Texture- plants create rough texture with the flower, the texture in the trees is rough as well
- Color- uplifting color because of the yellow flowers against the green plants and trees
