For each of the 5 elements of design (shape, line, texture, space, value), find an example that utilizes each element within the design. For each, evaluate the design in 4 to 5 sentences. Label each with the appropriate element. Then, discuss how that particular element is used and how it enhances the design. 

Shapes comes in all kinds of sizes. It can be a circle, triangle, rectangle, etc. A shape is whatever you want it to be as long as it has lines. 

Lines are a long, narrow mark or band. With several lines you can make a shape of whatever you want. 

Texture is the perceived surface quality of a work of art. It can show if the art is smooth or rough.

Space pertains to the use of areas in two-dimensional space that can be defined by edges. 

Shape is used in shapes such as a square, circle, hexagon, etc. 

Value is defined as the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Value shows how rich or how poor the color of the art is.
