LINE
A mark with length and direction.
A continuous mark made on a
surface by a moving point
There are many examples of
visual artwork that emphasize
the line element, here are a few:
Pablo Picasso's "The Old Guitarist"
(1903-1904)
this painting is known for its use of
thick, dark lines to create the
contours of the old man and his
guitar.
 Vincent van
Gogh's "Starry
Night" (1889)
the swirling lines in
the sky and the
cypress trees are
some of the most
iconic elements of
this painting.

 Henri
Matisse's
"The
Dance"
(1909-1910)
the fluid
lines of the
dancers'
bodies and
the
surrounding
foliage
create a
sense of
rhythm and
motion.

COLOR
Consists of Hue (another word for
color), Intensity
(brightness) and Value (lightness
or darkness).
When light is reflected into our
eyes we see colours.
 Primary
COLORS
(colours that cannot
be created by any
other colour)
red, blue and
yellow.
 Secondary
COLORS
(colours made by
equal amounts of
primary colours) -
green, orange and
violet
 Tertiary
COLORS
(When a primary
and secondary
colour are mixed) -
red orange, blue
green etc
Every individual colour can be altered by
changing value by tinting, shading and toning.

Tint- colour + white

Shade - colour + black
Tone - colour + black + white
Monochromatic is when a painting is made
up of tints, shades and tones of 1 colour.

Colours are often categorised by

temperature.
Warm (reds, orange and yellow) and
Cold (green, blue and p

 Element of Art
VALUE
The lightness or darkness of a color
It is an important element of art because it can create depth,
contrast, and texture in an artwork. Value is often used to
create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-
dimensional surface, and can be manipulated to create a
variety of effects.

SHAPE
An enclosed area defined
and determined by other art
elements; 2-dimensional.
 Element of Art
SHAPE
Shapes can be geometric, such as squares, circles, or triangles,
or organic, such as irregular or free-form shapes. They can be
flat or have the illusion of depth through the use of shading
and perspective.
Shapes can be used in various ways to create visual interest
and communicate ideas or emotions in a work of art.
The use of shape can vary greatly depending on the artist's
intention and the medium being used.
Element of Art
Element of Art
FORM
A 3-dimensional object; or
something in a 2 dimensional
artwork that appears to be 3
dimensional.
For example, a triangle, which is 2-
dimensional, is a shape, but a
pyramid, which is 3-dimensional, is
a form.
Element of Art
FORM
form refers to the three-dimensional aspect of an object, such as its length,
width, and depth.
Form can be organic or geometric and can be represented in a variety of
media, including sculpture, architecture, and painting.
In sculpture, form is created through the manipulation of materials such as
clay, stone, or metal to give the artwork a physical presence that can be
viewed from multiple angles.
Element of Art
FORM
In painting, form can be suggested through the use of shading, perspective,
and other techniques that create the illusion of depth and dimensionality on
a two-dimensional surface.
The use of form in art can communicate a sense of solidity, weight, and
presence, and can be used to evoke a wide range of emotions and
responses from viewers.

S P A C E
The distance or area between,
around, above, below, or within
things.
Element of Art
S P A C E
Positive space refers to the subject or areas of interest in an
artwork, such as a person's face or figure in a portrait, the
objects in a still life painting, or the trees in a landscape
painting. Negative space is the background or the area that
surrounds the subject of the work.
Negative space, also called white space, is typically empty and
lacks details as to simplify an image and keep the focus on the
subject (positive space)

TEXTURE
texture refers to the surface quality or feel of an
object, such as its roughness, smoothness, or softness.
Texture can be actual, meaning it is physically present in
the artwork, or it can be implied, meaning it is suggested
by the artist through the use of various techniques such
as shading or brushstrokes.
 Element of Art
TEXTURE
Texture can be an important element in creating a sense
of depth and dimensionality in a work of art, and it
can also help to convey a particular mood or emotion.
Texture can be found in a variety of media, including
painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography.
