3. The elements of art are the basic building blocks of visual art. They
are used by artists to create and communicate meaning. The seven
elements of art are line, shape, form, space, color, value, and
texture.
5. Line is a continuous mark made on a surface. It can be straight,
curved, thick, thin, long, or short. Lines can be used to create outlines,
define shapes, and suggest movement.
6. Horizontal and vertical lines: Horizontal lines create a
sense of stability and calmness, while vertical lines create
a sense of strength and power.
Diagonal and crooked lines: Diagonal lines create a
sense of movement and tension, while crooked lines
create a sense of informality and irregularity.
Curved lines: Curved lines create a sense of softness and
fluidity, and can be used to suggest organic forms.

8. Shape is a two-dimensional area enclosed by a line or outline.
Form is a three-dimensional object that has height, width, and
depth.
9. Geometric shapes: Geometric shapes
are regular and precise, such as squares,
circles, and triangles
Organic shapes: Organic shapes are
irregular and asymmetrical, such as
leaves, clouds, and waves.

11. Space is the area around and between objects in a composition.
Artists use space to create a sense of depth and perspective.
Positive space: Positive space is the
area that is occupied by objects in a
composition.
12. Negative space: Negative space is the area that
is surrounding objects in a composition.
Three-dimensional space: Three-dimensional
space is created by using techniques such as
shading, foreshortening, and perspective.

14. Color is the visual sensation
caused by the wavelength of light
reflected from an object. Artists
use color to create mood,
atmosphere, and symbolism in
their work.
15. Hue: Hue is the name of a color, such as red, yellow, or blue.
Primary colors: Primary colors are colors that cannot be
created by mixing other colors. The primary colors are
red, yellow, and blue.
Secondary colors: Secondary colors are created by mixing
two primary colors. The secondary colors are orange,
green, and purple.
Tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and
secondary colors.
16. Value: Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.
Tint: A tint is a lighter version of a color created by adding white.
Shade: A shade is a darker version of a color created by adding
black.
17. Warm colors: Warm colors are associated with heat and energy,
such as red, orange, and yellow.
Cool colors: Cool colors are associated with calmness and
tranquility, such as blue, green, and purple.
Monochromatic harmonies: Monochromatic harmonies are
created by using variations of a single hue.
18.
19. Texture is the surface quality of an object. Artists can use texture
to create a sense of realism in their work, or to create a more
abstract or symbolic effect.
20. Textures in the two-dimensional
plane: Textures in the two-dimensional
plane can be created using hatching,
cross-hatching, and stippling
techniques.
Surface texture: Surface texture is the
actual texture of the material used to
create a work of art.
