Elements & Principles
The Elements of Art and Principles of Design are important to being able to create art, but they are also important to being able to read and decode art. The elements and principles are also important to your escaping, so I hope you know your art!
Tips for a successful escape
● Make sure you look at EVERYTHING on every TASK very carefully.
● Always have a piece of paper handy to write down anything that may help you along the way. Use your notes to help you decode any locks that you encounter!
● Your first CLUE is right on this page, when you have found it, hit the ENTER TASK #1 CODE HERE button at the bottom of this page.
Let's get started...Good Luck!
Line
Line is often the very first Element of Art that people think about or consider. However, that doesn't mean that it is the most important. In fact, the elements have to work together to create an artistic composition. Line helps to tell the story of the artistic piece. Line can help to guide the viewer through the work by defining edges or to create closure or even to indicate lines of sight. Although considered to be a "simple" concept, lines have expressive qualities: Horizontal lines imply restfulness; Vertical lines give the appearance of strength; Diagonal lines add a sense of movement; and so on. But, lines can also be abstract and do not symbolize or represent nameable objects. I wonder where all these outlines and contour lines will take us...
