Elements of Art
Ms. Nikka Jane C. Curan
What are the Elements of Art?

• Elements of art refers to the qualities or properties


inherent in each work of art.
• These are the basic elements that are used by artists in
creating art to create aesthetically pleasing work.
• The seven elements of art are line, shape, form, space,
value, color and texture.
ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN

LINE
Line is the most basic element of art. A line
01 is an identifiable path created by a point
moving in space. Without line the other
elements couldn’t exist.

SHAPE
When a line meets up to enclose a space,
a shape is formed.
02 An element of art that is two-
dimensional, flat, or limited to height
and width.
ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN

FORM
Form is the next step up from shape as
03 we now add depth to it to create a
three dimensional form.

SPACE
04 Space is what lies between, around or
within an object.
ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN

VALUE
05 Value is how light or dark
something is.

COLOUR
06 Colour is created when light is
reflected into the viewer’s eye.
• Primary
• Secondary
• Tertiary Complementary Color
Complementary colors

This model designates red, yellow and blue as primary colors


with the primary–secondary complementary pairs of red–
green, blue-orange, and yellow–purple. In this traditional
scheme, a complementary color pair contains one primary
color and a secondary.
ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN
TEXTURE
07
Texture is the perceived surface quality of a
work of art. It may be perceived physically,
through the sense of touch, or visually, or both.
ELEMENTS OF ART AND DESIGN
TEXTURE
07 There are two main types of texture in art:

1. Visual, implied, or illusionistic, which can be seen on a


two-dimensional surface, texture invokes the visual 'feeling'
the piece gives off.
2. Physical texture, which has tactile qualities and can be
felt on a three-dimensional surface and refers to how the
piece feels when it's touched.
Principles of Art and Design
What are the Principles of Design?

• The principles of design describe the ways that artists use the
elements of art in a work of art.

• These are the rules an artist must follow to create an effective


and attractive composition.
1. Balance
It is the distribution of the visual weight of objects,
colors, texture, and space.
3 Major Forms of Balance

1. Symmetrical – the elements used on one side of the design


are similar to those on the other side.

2. Asymmetrical – the sides are different but still look


balanced.

3. Radial – the elements are arranged around a central point


and may be similar.
2. Contrast
Contrast in art is the technique of using unlike visual
elements in juxtaposition to create meaning and intensify
the characteristics of the work.

Juxtaposition is an act or instance of placing two elements


close together or side by side. This is often done in order to
compare/contrast the two different artworks and to show
the similarities or differences of it.
3. Emphasis
Emphasis is how an artist or
designer creates a focal point in
their work. This can be done by
allowing one element to stand
out from the others.
A focal point is that area of a picture that attracts the
eye. The center of interest acts as an “attention
getter.”
4. Movement
Movement is the principle of art
that an artist uses to guide a
viewer's eye in and out of a
composition.
Rhythm, line, color, balance and
space also play a major role in
creating the feeling of movement.
5. Pattern
A pattern is a repetition of specific
visual elements.

• Repeat Shapes
• Repeating Objects
• Repeating Directions
• Repeating Changes
• Repeating Colours
6. Rhythm

• Rhythm is a principle of design that suggests movement or


action. It creates a visual tempo in artworks and provides a path
for the viewer's eye to follow.
7. Unity
Unity (harmony) is an important
principle of design that gives the
artwork a sense of coherence.
It creates a sense of harmony and
wholeness by using similar elements
and placing them in a way that
creates a feeling of “oneness.”
