1. Visual Elements A-Z | 视觉元素 A-Z
The formal elements are the building blocks of any artwork. They help you describe and analyse what you see. In WJEC, the core visual elements include line, tone, colour, shape, form, texture, pattern and space.
形式元素是任何艺术品的构建基石，能帮助你描述与分析所见。在 WJEC 中，核心视觉元素包括线条、明暗、色彩、形状、形体、质感、图案和空间。
Line: A continuous mark made by a moving point. It can vary in width, direction and length to create outlines, movement or texture.
线条： 由移动点形成的连续标记，在宽度、方向和长度上变化，可创造轮廓、动感或质感。
Shape: A two-dimensional enclosed area, such as a circle or square. Shapes can be geometric (precise) or organic (free-form).
形状： 二维封闭区域，如圆形或方形。形状可以是几何的（精确的）或有机的（自由形态）。
Form: A three-dimensional object that has length, width and depth, like a sphere or cube. In 2D art, form can be created using tone and perspective.
形体： 具有长度、宽度和深度的三维物体，如球体或立方体。在平面艺术中，可通过明暗与透视创造形体感。
Space: The area around, between or within objects. Positive space refers to the subject, negative space is the background. Depth of space can be shown through overlapping, size change and perspective.
空间： 物体周围、之间或内部的区域。正空间指主体，负空间指背景。空间深度可通过重叠、大小变化与透视表现。
Texture: The surface quality of an object, either actual (tactile, e.g. rough bark) or implied (visual, as drawn with marks).
质感： 物体表面的质地，可以是实际的（可触摸，如粗糙树皮）或暗示的（视觉上通过笔触表现）。
Tone (Value): The lightness or darkness of a colour. Tone creates the illusion of light, shadow and volume. A tonal scale moves from white through greys to black.
明暗（色调）： 颜色的明度或暗度。明暗创造出光、影和体积的错觉。明暗尺度从白色经灰色过渡到黑色。
Colour (Hue): The name of a colour, determined by its wavelength. Colour also has value and intensity; it is a powerful emotional tool in art.
色彩（色相）： 颜色的名称，由其波长决定。色彩还具备明度与饱和度，是艺术中强有力的情感工具。
Pattern: A regularly repeated decorative design, often using lines, shapes or colours. Pattern can be found in nature or created by artists to add interest and rhythm.
图案： 有规律重复的装饰性设计，常运用线条、形状或色彩。图案既存在于自然界，也可由艺术家创造以增添趣味与韵律。
2. Principles of Design | 设计原则
Principles of design are guidelines that artists use to organise the visual elements effectively. Knowing them will improve your composition and analysis.
设计原则是艺术家用以有效组织视觉元素的指导法则。掌握这些原则将提升你的构图与分析能力。
Balance: The distribution of visual weight. Symmetrical balance is mirrored on both sides; asymmetrical balance uses different elements to achieve equilibrium; radial balance radiates from a central point.
平衡： 视觉重量的分配。对称平衡指两侧互为镜像；不对称平衡利用不同元素达到均衡；放射状平衡从中心点向外辐射。
Contrast: A strong difference between elements, such as light and dark, rough and smooth, large and small. Contrast creates visual interest and emphasis.
对比： 元素之间的强烈差异，如明与暗、粗糙与光滑、大与小。对比营造视觉趣味与强调效果。
Emphasis (Focal Point): The part of the composition that draws the viewer’s attention first. It can be achieved through contrast, placement or isolation.
强调（视觉焦点）： 构图中首先吸引观众视线的部分。可以通过对比、位置摆放或孤立来达成。
Movement: The path the viewer’s eye follows through the artwork, often directed by lines, shapes or colours. It can create a sense of action.
动感： 观众视线在艺术品中的游走路径，常由线条、形状或色彩引导。可创造出动作感。
Pattern (Repetition): Repeating visual elements to create a cohesive rhythm. Unlike simple decoration, design pattern can unify a whole artwork.
图案（重复）： 重复视觉元素以创造统一的节奏。不同于单纯装饰，设计中的图案能统一整个作品。
Rhythm: A visual beat created by repeating elements with variation. Rhythm gives a sense of movement and structure, similar to music.
韵律： 通过有变化的重复元素创造的视觉节拍。韵律带来动感与结构感，类似于音乐。
Unity: The feeling that all parts of the composition belong together. Unity is achieved when elements and principles work in harmony.
统一： 构图中所有部分浑然一体的感觉。当元素与原则和谐协作时，统一感便得以实现。
Proportion: The relationship in size between different parts and the whole. Proportion can be realistic, idealised or exaggerated for effect.
比例： 不同部分之间以及部分与整体之间的大小关系。比例可以是写实的、理想化的或为效果而夸张的。
3. Colour Theory Essentials | 色彩理论要点
Colour theory helps you mix, match and describe colours intelligently. WJEC examiners expect you to use accurate colour vocabulary when annotating your work.
色彩理论帮助你理性地混合、搭配和描述颜色。WJEC 考官期望你在作品评注时使用准确的色彩词汇。
Hue: The pure name of a colour, such as red, blue or yellow. It is the most basic component of colour.
色相： 颜色的纯粹名称，如红、蓝或
