Elements of art are stylistic features that
are included within an art piece to help the
artist communicate. The seven most
common elements include line, shape,
texture, form, space, color and value, with
the additions of mark making, and
materiality.
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART

Line is one of the

seven elements of art.
It is considered by
many to be the most
basic element of art. In
terms of art, line is
considered "a moving
dot".
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART
COLOR is an element
consisting of hues, of which
there are three properties: hue,
chroma or intensity, and value.[3]
Color is present when light
strikes an object and it is
reflected back into the eye, a
reaction to a hue arising in the
optic nerve.
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART
Form is a three-dimensional
object with volume of height,
width and depth. Form is often
used when referring to physical
works of art, like sculptures, as
form is connected most closely
with those three-dimensional
works.
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART
Shape is a two-dimensional
design encased by lines to
signify its height and width
structure, and can have
different values of color
used within it to make it
appear three-dimensional.
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART
Space refers to the
perspective (distance
between and around) and
proportion (size) between
shapes and objects and how
their relationship with the
foreground or background is
perceived
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART
Texture is used to describe
the surface quality of the
work, referencing the types
of lines the artist created.
The surface quality can
either be tactile (real) or
strictly visual (implied).
ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES OF ART

Value refers to the

degree of perceivable
lightness of tones
within an image.

 ART FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF
PHILOSOPHY
 Art as a kind of emulation
Plato's The Republic portrays artists as mimics,
and art as nothing more than a collection of
imitations.
Art as a means of communication
Art is a representation of a version
of reality. Aristotelian philosophy
holds that art has two distinct
purpose:
Art as a means of communication
it allows for the enjoyment of
pleasure, and it has the power to
be instructional, teaching its
audience valuable lessons about
life and its surroundings.
Art as a kind of unbiased evaluation
Kant’s Critique of Judgement asserted that the
judgment of beauty, which he regarded to be the
foundation of art, was something universal, despite
the fact that it was susceptible to subjectivity. In his
understanding of beauty, he acknowledged that it is
subjective.
 Art as a means of conveying
emotional content
Tolstoy believed that art has a significant
function in communicating feelings that the
creator has previously experienced to an
audience via communication. Emotions are
communicated via art
