The Elements
of Art
A mark with length and direction. A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point.
LINE
May be vertical, horizontal,
diagonal, curved, straight, zigzag or
show emotion. Organic and Geometric
LINEOrganic
Geometric
SHAPEAn enclosed area defined
and determined by other art elements; 2-dimensional.
SHAPEShapes can be geometric or organic. GEOMETRIC: square, triangle, rectangle,
rhombus, circle
ORGANIC: free form shapes, shapes in
nature
Shapes can be geometric or organic. GEOMETRIC: square, triangle, rectangle,
rhombus, circle ORGANIC: free form
shapes, shapes in nature
SHAPE
A 3-dimensional object; or something in a 2-dimensional artwork that appears to be 3-dimensional.
FORM
FORMForm can be 2D Form can be 3D
FORMFORMShows an object in space, the mass or positive space it occupies.
For example, a triangle, which is 2-dimensional, is a shape, but a pyramid, which is 3-dimensional, is a form.
Foreground, Middleground and Background (creates DEPTH)
The distance or area between, around, above, below, or within things.
SPACE
Positive Space (filled with something) Negative Space (empty areas)
SPACE
Consists of Hue (another word for color), Value (lightness or darkness) and Intensity (brightness).
COLOR
Color has three properties:
1. HUE: this is the name of the colors
2. VALUE: refers to the lightness or darkness of a hue.
3. INTENSITY: refers to the purity of the hue (called “chroma”)

TEXTURE
The surface quality or "feel" of an object, its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc.
TEXTURE
Textures may be actual or implied.
Actual – texture that you can feel with your sense of touch
Implied – texture that has been simulated in drawing and painting on a smooth
surface
