Considered the most basic element of art.
Defined as the shortest distance between two points, forming a connection.
Can be represented by the proximity of multiple points or implied in negative space between two points.

Shape

A two-dimensional aspect of art, representing a flat area formed when the ends of a line connect, creating an enclosed space.
Shapes can be influenced by surrounding elements and can be defined by their unique colors, patterns, or textures.
The uniqueness of shapes is enhanced through the addition of various artistic elements.
