This document discusses the elements and principles of 3D design that make designs good. It identifies the elements of design as line, shape, form, light, color, texture, space and time. The principles of design are described as guidelines for combining elements in visually interesting ways, including balance, unity/variety, rhythm/repetition, proportion/scale, emphasis, contrast, and occupied/unoccupied space. The document provides examples to illustrate principles like symmetrical and asymmetrical balance, pattern and rhythm, and proportional and disproportional scale. It concludes by assigning homework to create 3 spherical sculptures applying these elements and principles.
