LINE
SHAPE
FORM
COLOR
VALUE
TEXTURE
SPACE

4. LINE
A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point

5. SHAPE
An enclosed space, limited to two dimensions- length and width. Shapes may be geometric (measurable) or organic (not measurable or of nature).

6. FORM- Element of Art
A three-dimensional area (height, width, & depth) which encloses volume. Form can be real or implied.

7. COLOR- Element of Art
Produced by light of various wavelengths, and when light strikes an object and reflects back to the eyes.

8. VALUE- Element of Art
Lightness or darkness; dealing with the degree of contrast between light, medium, and dark.

The surface quality of an object, the way something appears to feel. Textures may be real or implied.

10. SPACE- Element of Art
The distance or area around, between, above, below, or within things. Space may be real or implied.

11. EMPHASIS BALANCE RHYTHM & MOVEMENT PATTERN CONTRAST UNITY
PRINCIPLES OF ART
How the elements of art are applied or used.
EMPHASIS
BALANCE
RHYTHM & MOVEMENT
PATTERN
CONTRAST
UNITY

12. EMPHASIS- Principle of Design
The focal point or center of interest, an area of heightened interest in an artwork.

13. BALANCE
The way the elements are arranged to create a sense of stability or equilibrium. Balance may be symmetrical or asymmetrical.

14. RHYTHM AND MOVEMENT
The real or implied movement of objects or spaces. It also refers to the path our eyes follow when looking at a work of art

15. PATTERN (REPETITION/VARIATION)
The recurrence of an element to create order or unity. It contributes to rhythm and movement in creation of patterns.

16. CONTRAST
A large difference between two things; a way of juxtaposing elements of art to stress the differences between them.

17. UNITY
The quality of oneness or wholeness, the basic compatibility between all elements within a piece of art.
