Excellent! This was one of the best explanation I heard!
I’m a retired visual art educator and was asked to review a portfolio of a Spanish student auditioning for an art program. I needed to explain her the English Art vocabulary and I used your video. Thank you!

Great video. I think you are right there is some disagreement and overlap. I am having the same trouble writing a book on skatepark design. What I did is I went back to the Platonic/ Aristotelian definitions of "Elements" and "Principles". That gave me a lot of clarity on how values/ philosophies and theories might inform principles which then influence how we employ the elements. A lot of the things are left over from Beaux Arts education that don't really make sense for a contemporary practitioner. For example, in architecture and art we aren't doing a lot of these things so every so called Principle like Balance, unity, and harmony would these days also need to come with the opposite. Which is why Principles should be related to values.

thank you for this video, however I have one problem. you said there are 5 elements of art and I just don't like the number five and I wish it was a six.
