Excellent job!
You completed the challenge and organized images of the Design Elements correctly!By practicing your foundational design skills, you are creating the framework for a successful design career. Keep it up, the more you know, the more you grow.
Value
Value is the relative lightness and darkness of a shape or form creating depth. It can be in grayscale or gradients of color, but the overall focus is on a range of lightness to darkness.
Mass/Volume is the relative heaviness or lightness of a form. Forms with heavy mass are bulky, solid, and take up space in the composition, while shapes and forms with a light mass are thin, skinny, and airy. A good example of mass in an interior design composition is a heavy, bulky sectional sofa that is solid to the floor versus a skinny side chair with thin spindle legs, that has open arms and open space from the seat to the floor.
Mass/Volume
Texture is an element that adds interest to a composition through the roughness or smoothness of materials. Texture can be implied - created with small patterns that are perceived as texture, or the texture can be literal, such as a textured plaster wall in a building. In other words, sometimes the texture can be tactile and other times it's an illusion that is only seen with the eyes.
Texture
The element of line leads the viewers eye through a composition. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved, and so on.
