Map of the USA

• Line- Longitude and latitude lines and state border lines
•  Color-there's a variety of different colors like blue and green
•  Shape- the United States of America is shaped that way
•  Texture- you can see the bumpiness of the mountains
•  Value-some parts of the map are brighter than others
•  Proportion- the key helps the reader know how far destinations are

Tree Trunk and Roots

• Line-Multiple line of the roots
• Shape-Helps absorb the most light and nutrients
•  Texture- rough, with chips in the tree
•  Unity- all the roots look different but they are all doing the same thing
•  Balance- looks like a reflection but with a few changes
•  Rhythm- goes in the pattern for better absorption

Fuzzy Rug

• Line- different lines going in different directions
•  Color- a bright orange color to match a certain space
• Texture- looks fuzzy but a little bit rough
• Unity- the rug is a bunch of different strands of string
• Emphasis- can catch the eye
• Balance- its different on both sides but can change to be even

Beta Fish

• Line- lines on the fins
• Color- multiple colors like dark purple
• Space- spread out lines
• Shape- helps the fish swim faster
• Texture- looks bumpy on the tail but smooth on the body
• Value- it goes from a bright yellow to a dark purple
• Balance- colors reflect themselves
• Rhythm- patterns cover the fish
• Emphasis- the body is very plain making it stand out
• Unity- the multiple colors make the fish look united

Cello

• Line- the strings make your eyes look up and down the instrument
• Color- it's made of wood so it's brown
•  Space- theres lots of empty space outside and inside the cello
• Shape- the shape helps it get a better sound
• Texture- it's smooth but hard
•  Value- the light makes the gloss on the instrument shine
•  Balance- it has to be an exact reflection on both sides of the cello for the sound 
• Emphasis- since the bridge is a different color and the strings on ontop of it you notice it
•  Proportion- cellos come in different sizes and so do the strings
