    The document defines and describes several key elements of art: - Line is the most basic element, formed by dots that can vary in thickness, color, and shape. Multiple lines form drawings and imply forms. - Shape refers to two-dimensional geometric, natural, and abstract forms that attract attention. - Value describes the lightness or darkness of tones used to create depth, patterns, and emphasis. - Space is the area surrounding an artwork that gives objects their form and separates figures. - Form gives three-dimensional shape and expression to artworks. - Color includes primary, secondary, and tertiary hues arranged on a color wheel. - Texture relates to surfaces, from rough concrete to smooth

    ELEMENTS OF

    ART
    LIN
    E
    A line in art is primarily a dot or series of dots. The dots form a line,
    which can vary in thickness, color, and shape. A line is a two-dimensional
    shape unless the artist gives it volume or mass. If an artist uses multiple lines, it
    develops into a drawing more recognizable than a line creating a form
    resembling the outside of its shape. Lines can also be implied as in an action of
    the hand pointing up, the viewer's eyes continue upwards without even a real
    line.
    shape
    HEIGHT + WIDTH = SHAPE. We all learned basic shapes in grade
    school – triangles, squares, circles and rectangles. Odd or lesser seen shapes
    can be used tp attract attention.

    There are three basic types of shape: geometric (triangles, squares, circles
    etc.), natural (leaves, animals, trees, people etc.) and abstracted (icons,
    stylizations, graphic representations etc.).
    value
    VALUE is how light or how dark an area looks. A gradient, shown
    next, is great way to visualize value – everything from dark to white,
    all the shades in – between, has a value. Use value to create depth
    and light; to create a pattern; to lead the eye; or to emphasize.
    space
    Space is the area around the focal point of the art piece and might be positive
    or negative, shallow or deep, open, or closed. Space is the area around the art
    form; in the case of a building, it is the area behind, over, inside, or next to the
    structure. The space around a structure or other artwork gives the object its
    shape. The children are spread across the picture, creating space between each
    of them, the figures become unique.
    form
    Form gives shape to a piece of art, whether it is the constraints of a
    line in a painting or the edge of the sculpture. The shape can be two-
    dimensional, three-dimensional restricted to height and weight, or it
    can be free-flowing. The form also is the expression of all the formal
    elements of art in a piece of work.
    color
    Color is the visual perception seen by the human eye. The modern color wheel
    is designed to explain how color is arraigned and how colors interact with each
    other. In the center of the color wheel, are the three primary colors: red, yellow,
    and blue. The second circle is the secondary colors, which are the two primary
    colors mixed. Red and blue mixed together form purple, red, and yellow, form
    orange, and blue and yellow, create green. The outer circle is the tertiary colors,
    the mixture of a primary color with an adjacent secondary color.
    texture
    TEXTURE relates to the surface of an object; the look or feel of it.
    Concrete has a rough texture; drywall has a smooth and subtle
    texture. Using texture in design is a great way to add depth and
    visual interest. Printed material has actual, textile texture while
    screen material has implied texture.
