Line: An element
of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or
three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract.
Shape: An element
of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to height and width; encloses 2D area.
Form: An element
of art that is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width
AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be
free flowing (water, fire).
Value: The
lightness or darkness of tones or colours. White is the lightest value; black is
the darkest. The value halfway between these extremes is called middle grey.
Space: An element
of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or an implied depth.
Colour: An element
of art made up of three properties: hue, value, and intensity.
• Hue: name of colour
• Value: hue’s lightness and darkness (a colour’s value changes when white or black is added)
• Intensity: quality of brightness and purity (high intensity= colour is strong and bright; low
intensity = colour is faint and dull)
Texture: An
element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look as if they might
feel if touched.
