Elements of art
Elements of art – shape, form, value, line, color, space and texture
- Shape – area defined by edges
- Form – perceived volume or dimensionality
- Value – use of lightness (tint, or white) and darkness (shade, or black) in a piece of art
- Line – straight or curved marks that span a distance between two points. For example, see line art.
- Color – produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye.
- Properties of color
- Hue – red, yellow, blue, green, etc.
- Intensity
- Value (brightness)
- Space – area that an artist provides for a particular purpose. Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground, and refers to the distances or area(s) around, between, and within things.
