  1. Elements of Art Are the basic building blocks to create a work of art.

  2. Line • Is a continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. • It often creates an outline, defines a shape or space, or implies an edge of a shape or form. • Types of Line=Vertical, Horizontal, diagonal, straight, curved, looped etc.

  3. Shape • Is an enclosed two-dimensional space that is defined by other art elements such as line, color, value and texture. • Shapes have length and width. • Can be geometric=uniform/perfect measurements & do not occur in nature: circle, square, triangle • Can be organic=flowing & curving appearance/occur in nature like leaves, rocks, shells

  4. Form • Is a three-dimensional space that has length, width, and depth and encloses volume. • Real form only exists in three-dimensional. • Artists can create the illusion of form on a 2-D surface by using other elements like value and texture.

  5. Space • Is the area between, around, above, below and/or within objects. • Types of space: 2-D, 3-D, open, closed, shallow, deep, actual or illusory. • Can be shown by overlapping objects.

  6. = overlapping/size relationship = illusion of depth

  7. Value • Value refers to lightness or darkness. • Value is often described by a scale consisting of shades of gray; usually ranging from white to middle grays to black. • It can also refer to the lightness or darkness of a color.

  8. Texture • Texture refers to surface quality or feel of an object. • Actual texture can be touched and felt. • Simulated/Visual texture is the ILLUSION or appearance of actual texture. • Types of texture=smooth, rough, soft, furry, shiny etc.

  9. Color • A visual sensation caused by the way an object reflects or emits light. Color is defined by three properties: hue, value, and intensity. HUE-another name for color VALUE-lightness or darkness of a color INTENSITY-brightness or dullness of a color; purity or strength of a color

  10. Principles of Design Are the concepts used to organize and arrange the elements of art.

  11. BALANCE • Balance refers to the distribution of visual weight in a work of art. • It can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.

  12. Symmetrical Balance

  13. Radial Balance

  14. Asymmetrical Balance

  15. MOVEMENT • The arrangement of art elements to create a sense of motion by using lines, shapes, values or colors. • This causes the viewers eye to move over the work of art.

  16. RHYTHM • Is a regular repetition of the elements of art to produce a visual tempo or beat.
