    Elements of Art

    Texture

    • The texture is the quality of a surface or


    the way any work of art is represented.
    • Lines and shading can be used to create
    different textures as well.
    – For example….if one is portraying certain
    fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the
    right texture so that it closely resembles what
    the artist is trying to convey.
    Form
    • Form may be created by the forming of
    two or more shapes or as three-
    dimensional shape (cube, pyramid,
    sphere, cylinder, etc.).
    • It may be enhanced by tone, texture and
    color.
    • Form is considered three-dimensional
    showing height, width and depth.
    – Examples of these are sculpture, theatre play
    and figurines.
    Space

    • Space is the area provided for a particular purpose.


    • Space includes the background, foreground and middle
    ground.
    • Space refers to the distances or areas around, between
    or within components of a piece.
    – There are two types of space: positive and negative space.
    • Positive space refers to the space of a shape representing the subject
    matter.
    • Negative space refers to the space around and between the subject matter.
    • Space is also defined as the distance between
    identifiable points or planes in a work of art.
    Shape
    • Shape pertains to the use of areas in two
    dimensional space that can be defined by
    edges, setting one flat specific space apart from
    another.
    • Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle,
    triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the
    shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.)
    in nature.
    • Shapes are defined by other elements of art:
    Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form.
    Color

    • Color pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design.


    • Defined as primary colors (red, yellow,
    blue) which cannot be mixed in pigment from other hues,
    secondary colors (green, orange, purple) which are
    directly mixed from combinations of primary colors.
    • Further combinations of primary and secondary colors
    create tertiary (and more) hues.
    • Tint and Shade are references to adding variations
    in Value; other tertiary colors are derived by mixing either
    a primary or secondary color with a neutral color. e.g.
    Red + White = Pink.
    Tone (Value)

    • Value, or tone, refers to the use of light


    and dark, shade and highlight, in an
    artwork.
    • Black-and-white photography depends
    entirely on value to define its subjects.
    Value is directly related to contrast.
    Line

    • Line is most easily defined as a mark that


    spans a distance between two points (or
    the path of a moving point), taking any
    form along the way.
    • As an art element, line pertains to the use of
    various marks, outlines and implied lines in
    artwork and design, most often used to define
    shape in two-dimensional work.
    • Implied line is the path that the viewer's eye
    takes as it follows shapes, colors, and form
    along a path, but may not be continuous or
    physically connected, such as the line created
    by a dancer's arms, torso, and legs when
    performing an arabesque.
    • Shape pertains to the use of areas in two
    dimensional space that can be defined by
    edges, setting one flat specific space apart
    from another.
    • Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square,
    circle, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic
    (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf,
    boomerang, etc.) in nature. Shapes are
    defined by other elements of art:
