ELEMENTS OF ART
1.Lines are essentially long marks. Lines vary in length,
thickness, and direction. They can be broken, geometric,
organic, straight, curved, or zigzag; they can be implied by
spaces between objects; and they can be layered until they
form masses of value and tone.

2. Shapes are enclosed spaces. The basic shapes are a circle, a

triangle, and a square. All other shapes are a variation or
combination of these three. Shapes can be geometric, organic,
or a combination.

3. As mentioned on page 28, value refers to the relative

lightness or darkness of a color. Shapes would remain flat
without the gradations of light to dark values.

4. Color refers to the perception of light waves by the brain

that reflect into our eyes. A hue is a color in its purest form.

5. Texture is the literal sensation experienced when an

object’s surface is touched. Implied texture exists when the
visual illusion of that surface quality is created by art
elements.

6. & 7. Form and space refer to the illusion of 3D objects in

drawings or paintings using line, shape, value, and color. The
areas around and within shapes are called “negative spaces.”
