1. Visual Elements | 视觉元素
Line: A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. Lines can vary in width, direction, and length, and can be actual (drawn) or implied (the edge of a shape).
线条：由移动的点在表面上产生的连续痕迹。线条在宽度、方向和长度上可以变化，可以是实际的（绘制的）或暗示的（形状的边缘）。
Tone: The lightness or darkness of a colour or area. Tone creates depth, volume, and a sense of three-dimensionality through shading.
色调：颜色或区域的明暗程度。色调通过明暗法创造深度、体积和三维感。
Texture: The surface quality of an object, either tactile (real texture) or visual (implied texture). Artists use marks and materials to simulate roughness, smoothness, and other tactile sensations.
质感：物体的表面品质，可以是触觉的（真实质感）或视觉的（暗示质感）。艺术家使用笔触和材料模拟粗糙、光滑等触觉感受。
Shape: A two-dimensional area defined by a boundary. Shapes can be geometric (circle, square) or organic (freeform, irregular).
形状：由边界限定的二维区域。形状可以是几何的（圆形、方形）或有机的（自由形态、不规则形）。
Form: A three-dimensional object or the illusion of three dimensions in a two-dimensional artwork. Form encompasses volume and mass.
形体：三维物体或二维作品中三维空间的错觉。形体包含体积和质量。
Colour: The element produced when light reflects off an object. Colour has three properties: hue, value, and saturation.
色彩：光线从物体反射时产生的元素。色彩有三个属性：色相、明度和饱和度。
Pattern: The repetition of an element or motif in a predictable manner. Patterns can be regular or random and add visual interest.
图案：元素或母题以可预测的方式重复。图案可以是有规律的或随机的，增添视觉趣味。
Space: The area around, between, or within objects. Positive space is the subject; negative space is the background or area around the subject.
空间：物体周围、之间或内部的区域。正空间是主体；负空间是背景或主体周围的区域。
2. Principles of Design | 设计原则
Balance: The distribution of visual weight in a composition. Symmetrical balance is a mirror image; asymmetrical balance uses different elements to achieve equilibrium.
平衡：构图中视觉重量的分布。对称平衡是镜像般的左右一致；不对称平衡用不同元素达到均衡。
Contrast: The juxtaposition of opposing elements (e.g., light vs dark, rough vs smooth) to create visual interest or focal points.
对比：将对立元素并置（如明与暗、粗糙与光滑），以制造视觉趣味或焦点。
Emphasis: The creation of a focal point that draws the viewer’s attention. Artists use contrast, placement, and scale to achieve emphasis.
强调：创造一个吸引观者注意力的焦点。艺术家通过对比、位置和比例实现强调。
Movement: The path the viewer’s eye follows through an artwork, often directed by lines, edges, and the arrangement of elements.
动势：观者的视线在作品中移动的路径，常由线条、边缘和元素的排列引导。
Rhythm: The repetition of visual elements to create a sense of organised movement. Rhythm can be regular, flowing, or alternating.
节奏：视觉元素的重复，创造出有组织的动感。节奏可以是规则的、流动的或交替的。
Proportion: The relationship in size between different parts of an artwork or between parts and the whole. Proportion can be realistic or exaggerated.
比例：艺术品不同部分之间或部分与整体之间的大小关系。比例可以是写实的或夸张的。
Unity: The sense of wholeness or harmony achieved when all elements work together. Unity makes the composition feel cohesive.
统一：所有元素协同作用时获得的整体感或和谐感。统一使构图具有凝聚力。
Variety: The use of differences and diversity to add interest. Too much unity without variety can be monotonous.
多样：运用差异与多样性增强趣味。缺乏多样的统一会显得单调。

Saturation (Intensity): The purity or vividness of a hue. High saturation means bright, intense colour; low saturation appears muted or greyish.
饱和度（彩度）：色相的纯度或鲜艳度。高饱和度意味着亮丽、浓烈的颜色；低饱和度显得暗哑或偏灰。
Value: The lightness or darkness of a colour. Tints are made by adding white; shades by adding black.
明度：色彩的明暗。加入白色得到淡色；加入黑色得到暗色。
Complementary colours: Colours opposite each other on the colour wheel (e.g., red and green). They create strong contrast.
互补色：色轮上对立的颜色（如红与绿）。它们形成强烈对比。
Analogous colours: Colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel (e.g., yellow, yellow-green, green). They create harmonious schemes.
类似色：色轮上相邻的颜色（如黄、黄绿、绿）。它们营造和谐的配色方案。
Warm colours: Reds, oranges, and yellows; they tend to advance and convey energy, warmth, and passion.
暖色：红、橙、黄；它们倾向于前进，传达能量、温暖和激情。
