The Elements of Art
Line: Line is the basic element and refers to the continuous movement of a point along a surface, such as a pencil or brush. Line can also be created by the edges of other shapes. Lines can vary in length, thickness and direction. Color: Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. Color draws the eyes attention to certain areas and can invoke mood and emotion. This is a color wheel. Shape: Shapes are what give objects their definition. Shapes are flat. Think of the silhouette. Shapes can be organic (curved, soft, random) or geometric (angular, sharp, organized, complex). Organic vs. Geometric Form: Form is when a shape has either real or perceived three dimensionality(3D). An example being a square(shape) or a cube(form.) Value: the relationship between light and dark. It can also be referred to as tone or shading. The value of an object helps give it form and depth. Space: Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within components of an image. Space can refer to positive space (a shape, such as an apple) or negative space (the absence of an apple shape). It can also refer to elements in the foreground, mid or background of an image. Positive space Negative space Texture: Texture is perceived surface quality. In art two types of texture exist, tactile and implied. Tactile texture is the way a surface actually feels, such as sandpaper or tree bark. Implied texture is the way the surface of an object “looks” like it feels. This is created with different pencil and brush techniques. |
