Shape refers to a closed space made when a line connects to itself. Form refers to a shape that is or appears to be three dimensional, having weight, width, and depth. Shape and form are essential elements in art that help in creating _________ and defining objects.

Color is the visible spectrum of reflected light. It has the 3 attributes of hue (unique color name), value (lightness or darkness), and intensity or saturation (purity and strength). Colors can evoke different ___________ and emotions when used in art.

Proportion: The relationship of the parts of an artwork to the whole, or of one part to another. Related to size or scale. (Can also refer to quantity or degree.) Movement/Rhythm: Movement refers to how elements are arranged to draw your eye through an artwork or imply a sense of motion. Rhythm is a special kind of movement created by repeated components in an artwork. It refers to the visual tempo or beat as the viewer’s eyes jump rapidly or glide smoothly from one related element to the next. Repetition/Pattern: An element that is repeated in a planned way to create rhythm or unity. Variety: Using the art elements to create differences in an artwork that add visual interest. Harmony: The accentuating of similarities within an artwork to create unity. The opposite of variety. Components that share common traits. Unity: A successful combination of art elements that creates a sense of wholeness and visual completion in an artwork. How the artwork functions as a whole, unified piece.
