1. Formal elements are the simple ideas and shapes that are used in photography. Most photos, if not all of them include these elements, since they are simple and important.
  2. The 6 elements are line, shape, pattern, texture, tone, and focus. Line is just lines included in the photos, these could range of any number, or angle. Shape is similar to line, except it can be any different shape. Pattern is repeating shapes or objects. This can make photos very interesting because of this repetition. Texture, is the roughness or feeling of the surface of an object. It can be shown in photos because there is usually visibility to texture. Tone is the lightness or darkness of photos. Focus is how clear the photo or objects are. Sharpness can be another word to describe focus.

  4. Yes, they can. Infact, most of the photos I used included more than one element. The photo I used for tone includes a shape as well. Not only that photo, but all of the photos I used included shapes.
