Line: A mark that defines shape, contours, and outlines, and suggests mass and volume. Created with a pointed tool or implied by the edges of shapes and forms.
-
Shape: An area enclosed by lines. A two-dimensional figure with height and width.
-
Color: The way light is reflected or refracted from a surface; colors we see in nature are reflections of light. Types include primary, secondary, tertiary, complementary, monochromatic, warm, and cool.
Types of Color
-
Primary Colors: Fundamental colors.
-
Secondary Colors: Created by mixing two primary colors.
-
Tertiary Colors: Created by mixing a primary color with an adjacent secondary color.
-
Complementary Colors: Colors opposite each other on the color wheel.
-
Monochromatic: Different shades/values of a single color.
-
Warm Colors: Colors like red, orange, and yellow, associated with warmth.
-
Cool Colors: Colors like blue, green, and violet, associated with coolness.
Space
- Space: The distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece; arrangement of objects on the picture plane (two-dimensional). Can be positive (occupied space) or negative (surrounding space).
Texture
- Texture: Element appealing to touch: roughness, smoothness, bumpiness, slipperiness. The character of the surface of an artwork.
Value

Value: Lightness or darkness of a color. Altered by adding white (tint) or black (shade).
