Visual Elements of Art

Line
This refers to a prolongation of a
point or a mark on a surface.
Solid lines can be used in order
to define form while broken lines
are typically used to suggest
hidden forms.
Visual Elements of Art
Shape and Mass
This element refers to an area with
boundaries..identified.or drawing lines. A
shape may be natural or..living.. forms
called..an organic shape and can be
irregular..or.. rounded. It. may also be...
measured forms called..geometric.shape.
In. contrast to shape., which..is..two-
dimensional, mass refers to. solid portions
of a..three-dimensional object.

Color
This refers to visual perception that
allows a person to differentiate objects
due to the way various wavelengths of
light are reflected. Color is a very
important element because it can
communicate information and emotion
to the viewer.
These are the three properties of
color:
Hue, which refers to the basic or pure color, and is represented in
the color wheel.
Value, which refers to the lightness and darkness of color. A light
color or tint is the result of adding white to a hue, while a dark
color or shade results from adding black to a hue.
Saturation, which refers to brightness and dullness of color. It is
also referred to as purity of the color. A bright color can be
produced by adding more pigment to the same hue, while a dull
color can be produced by adding gray or the color’s complement to
the pigment.
Color Schemes
Monochromatic – involves using the same hue but with
different gradients of value.
Analogous – entails the use of three or four adjacent colors
in the color wheel.
Complementary – involves the use of a color and its
complement
-meaning the color located opposite of the first color.
Split-complementary – a close relative to the
complementary color scheme. But instead of using the color’s
complement, this scheme uses the two colors adjacent to the
complement.
Triadic – uses three colors that are of equal distance with
each other.
Tetradic – also known as double complementary color

Texture
This element refers to the feel or
appearance of a..surface. A..
person.. may describe as actual or
implied..Actual texture. can be..
felt.. tangibly based on
the.material.that is used for. the
artworkwhile implied..texture.can
be exhibited, for.instance, in a
painting of fur of an.animal.

Value
This element refers to
lightness or darkness of an
area. This is evident in
creating shadows for a
two-dimensional object to
give an illusion of depth.
Visual Elements of Art
Space
Space refers to the area that is occupied by an
object or a subject, as well as the area surrounding
that object or subject. An illusion of space can still
be created in a two-dimensional surface using
perspective. There are two types of perspective:
atmospheric perspective, which utilizes the
properties of light and air in depicting the illusion of
distance; and linear perspective, which involves the
use of vanishing points and receding hidden lines.

Time and Motion
Movement in the visual arts can either be an
illusion or an actual motion. An illusion of
movement is more common in two-dimensional
artworks. On the other hand, actual motion is easily
seen in kinetic sculpture that moves with the wind
or are vibrating with the surrounding air.
