    Elements and

    Principles of
    Arts
    Elements
    of Arts
    LINE
    A line is an identifiable
    path created by a
    point moving in space.
    Line is one-
    dimensional and can
    vary in width,
    SHAPE
    A Shape is a line that is
    “closed”. They have an
    interior (inside) and an
    exterior (outside). All shapes
    are two-dimensional,
    meaning that they have only
    FORM
    Form describes
    objects in three-
    dimensional space.
    All forms have,
    height, width and
    SPACE
    Space is the area between
    and around objects. It
    describes how the artist
    uses the area to arranges
    things within a picture.
    TEXTURE
    Texture is another element,
    like form or space, that can be,
    created (think of van Gogh's
    lumpy, impasto-ed canvases)
    or implied (through clever use
    of shading).
    VALUE
    Value is the darkness or
    lightness of a color. When
    dealing with pure color
    (hue), value can be
    affected by adding white
    or black to a color.
    COLOR
    Color is the
    element of art that
    refers to reflected
    light.
    Principles

    BALANCE
    Balance refers to the
    visual weight of the
    elements of the
    composition.
    CONTRAST
    Contrast is the difference
    between elements of art in a
    composition, such that each
    element is made stronger in
    relation to the other.
    EMPHASIS
    • Emphasis is when the artist
    creates an area of the
    composition that is visually
    dominant and commands the
    viewer's attention. This is
    MOVEMENT
    Movement is the result of
    using the elements of art such
    that they move the viewer's
    eye around and within the
    image.
    PATTERN
    Pattern is the uniform repetition
    of any of the elements of art or
    any combination thereof.
    Anything can be turned into a
    pattern through repetition.
    RHYTHM
    Rhythm is created by
    movement implied through
    the repetition of elements of
    art in a non-uniform but
    organized way.
    UNITY/VARIETY
    Unity/Variety You want your
    painting to feel unified such
    that all the elements fit
    together comfortably.
