10. Speed Memorisation Tips | 速记小妙招
For the Elements of Art, memorise the acronym ‘LTT SFCS’ – Line, Tone, Texture, Shape, Form, Colour, Space. Turn it into a silly sentence: "Little Turtles Tickling Soft Flowers Colourfully Sing.”
记忆艺术核心要素的首字母口诀“LTT SFCS”：线条(Line)、色调(Tone)、肌理(Texture)、形状(Shape)、形体(Form)、色彩(Colour)、空间(Space)。联想成一句有趣的话：“小乌龟挠软花，唱得五彩缤纷”。
To remember Design Principles, use the acronym ‘BCEMPRUP’ – Balance, Contrast, Emphasis, Movement, Pattern, Rhythm, Unity, Proportion. A fun phrase: "Big Cats Eat Mice Playing Rugby Under Planes."
记忆设计原则可用首字母“BCEMPRUP”：平衡、对比、强调、动势、图案、节奏、统一、比例。想象一句有趣的话：“大猫吃老鼠，在飞机下玩橄榄球”。
For the colour wheel order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet), you can chant: "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain."
