Art Elements

  • Line: A mark or path moving between two points.

    • Physical properties include measurement, direction, location, character, and expressiveness.
    • Examples of properties include long, horizontal, outline, and geometric.
  • Shape: A line enclosing a space.

    • Two-dimensional (2-D): Measured by height and width.
    • Three-dimensional (3-D): Two-dimensional shape with depth added.
    • Geometric: Precise measurements and size.
    • Organic: Irregular measurements and size.
  • Form: Three-dimensional.

    • Refers to an object with volume.
  • Space: Perspective and proportion between objects.

    • Divided into foreground, middle ground, and background.
    • Shallow space vs. deep space: Close objects vs. distant objects.
    • Positive space: The space occupied by objects(s).
    • Negative space: The area around and between objects.
    • Perspective: Creates depth through a vanishing point on the horizon.
      • Aerial perspective: Close objects are clear; far objects are less clear/fuzzy.
      • Linear perspective: Vertical lines remain vertical; horizontal lines change based on the viewer's position.
  • Colour:

    • Hues: Distinct colors.
    • Intensity: The strength or weakness of a color.
    • Value: The lightness or darkness of a hue.
  • Value/Tone: The lightness or darkness of tones in an image.
