ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLE OF DESIGN

Select three interior spaces that each conveys a different message, mood or feeling. For example: a space that feels intimate, a space that feels elegant and a space that feels airy.

Describe how these moods have been created in each space using the elements and principles of design as they have been discussed so far.

It is important to examine each space you choose, to observe and understand how a specific mood and feeling has been achieved.

Work through the elements and principles of design; some will be immediately obvious, while others not so.

If you find pictures of beautiful, harmonious spaces, you will find that most of the elements will be working together.

If you feel the space is lacking harmony, you might like to mention why, and how you would change and improve it.
