This informative guide explores the fundamental elements of art, focusing on color, value, line, shape, form, space, and texture. Each element is defined and illustrated with examples. Color is examined in terms of hue, value, and intensity, highlighting how all colors originate from red, yellow, and blue. The guide also discusses the dimensions of shape and form, the illusion of space in artistic compositions, and the various types of lines that can convey movement and stability. A valuable resource for art students seeking to deepen their understanding of artistic principles.

  2. What are the elements of art? • Color • Value • Line • Shape • Form • Space • Texture

  3. Color • Color has three properties: • Hue- the color itself • Value- the lightness or darkness of a color • Intensity- the brightness or dullness of a color ALL colors are made from : RED, YELLOW, and BLUE

  4. SHAPE • Shape has two dimensions: width and height. • There are two types of shapes: geometric and free form shapes. • Geometric shapes can be measured mathematically. They include:

  5. Value • Valueis the lightness or darkness of anything. • Value is an element in itself as well as a property of color. -White is the lightest possible value. -Black is the darkest possible value. • Color can also change in value. • Color lightened with white is called a tint. • Color darkened with black is called a shade.

  6. Value (Continued) • Color can also change in value. -Color lightened with white is called a tint. -Color darkened with black is called shade.

  7. FORM • Forms have three-dimensions: • Height, Width, andDepth • Shading helps to make forms look solid.

  8. SPACE • In painting and drawing, space is an illusion of depth created by an artist on a flat surface • Positive space is space taken up by objects. • Negative space is empty space around objects.

  9. LINE • Line is a mark which has greater length than width. • We see the edges of shapes as line. Contour line drawings define surface lines as well as outlines of objects.

  10. LINE (Continued) Kinds of Lines • Diagonal can suggest movement • Zigzagcan imply quick change of direction • Vertical can create a look ofstability/grandeur • Horizontal can imply restfulness/calmness • Curved can imply slow/fast movement • Implied not real lines, lines made by the eye as it connects rows of similar objects

  11. LINE (Continued) • Lines direct the viewer’s eye around a work of art. • Lines can create value. • Lines can create texture.
