• Rhythm - movement, fluctuation, or variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements
• Pitch - highness or lowness of sound

• Musical Notation - the act, process, method or an instance of representing by a system or set of marks, signs, figures or characters used in music
• Harmony - the combination of simultaneous notes in a chord
• Timbre - the perceived sound quality of a musical tone which sets it apart from other tones. this may be described as soft, rough, hoarse, cold and so on.
• Elements of music: Rhythm, Pitch, Melody, Musical Notation, Harmony and Timbre
• Elements of Theater: Stage direction, narratology and scenic design
• elements of dance: human body, arrangement or pattern, and time and space
• Human Body - it is the center of the performance activity. it performs action and movement necessary to the piece
• Arrangement or pattern - the movements and steps which enables the performers to perform in an organized manner
• Time and space - performing arts depend highly on time and space. the other elements must come together to complement the available and selected time and space
• Stage direction - instructions indicating movement, blockings or position, and other nuances in the performers way of speaking, moving and acting
• Narratology - narrative structure of the piece
• scenic design - the artistic design that creates the background or scene
• Classifications of visual arts according to materials and approaches used: Two-dimensional Expressions, Three-dimensional Expressions, and Multi-dimensional Expressions
• Two-dimensional Expressions - they are mainly flat because they only have length and width as their dimensions
• Alla Prima - also known as wot-on-wet or when you paint over a layer of wet paint
• Encaustic - also known as hot wax painting or when you add pigment on beeswax and use it to paint
• Tempera - adding pigment to water-soluble binder medium such as egg yolk

• Etching - using a strong acid on the surface to create a design
• Installing - a site-specific artwork designed to transform and include space in its message
• Multi-dimensional expression - uses length, width, mass, time and space as its dimensions and it uses different techniques
