In this lesson you will learn about the Elements of Visual Art Line Shape/Form Space Texture Value Color

3 - 9”X12” sheets of white paper Get the following supplies : Markers or colored pencils

Fold each sheet in half, the short way

Open the folded sheets

The Design Elements of Visual Art are *Line *Texture *Shape/Form * Space *Color *Value

With pencil, print your name, date and section on the back of each sheet Jane Smith 5Z

Print the name of one element in each section Line Shape Space Texture Value Color Turn each sheet over

Line A mark made by a pointed tool. Can be real or implied. Can be long or short. Can be solid or broken. Can be thicker or thinner. Can be straight, wavy, zig- zag, or bumpy.
