1. Elements of Art

2. Line
Line is the path of a moving point. Lines define the edges of shapes and forms.
It is 1-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length.

3. Shape Shape is an area enclosed by line.
It is 2-dimensional and can be Geometric or Organic.

4. Types of Shapes:
Organic Shapes: Shapes that are found in nature. Examples: leaves, rocks, clouds, etc.
Geometric Shapes: Shapes that are mathematical. Examples: squares, triangles, circles, etc.

5. Form Forms are 3-dimensional.
They occupy space or give the illusion that they occupy space.

7. Space The area around, above, between, inside or below objects.
Can also refer to a feeling of depth or three-dimensions.
Background: the objects that are furthest away from the viewer, usually at the top of the picture plane.
Foreground: The objects that are closest to the viewer, usually at the bottom of the page and the focal point of the image.
Middle ground: The section between the foreground and background.

8. Space

9. Color Color is seen by the way light reflects off a surface.
A color wheel shows relationships between colors.
Primary Colors: The colors mixed to make all other colors.
Secondary Colors: Colors made by mixing two primary colors.

10. HUE
Hue is another name for COLOR.

11. Value
Value is the lightness or darkness of a surface. It is often referred to when shading, but value is also important in the study of color.
Tint- Color plus white
Shade- Color plus black
Tone- Color plus gray
Shading:
A gradual change from light to dark.

13. Texture
Texture is the actual surface feel or the simulated appearance of roughness or smoothness.
Implied Texture: The way something looks like it feels.
Actual Texture: The way something actually feels (rough, smooth, sharp, etc.)

Form- Forms are 3-dimensional. They occupy space or give the illusion that they occupy space.
Space- the illusion of objects having depth on the 2-dimensional surface. Linear and atmospheric/aerial perspective is used.
