Elements of Art and Principles of Design

  1. Line - marks made by a tool and can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

2. Color  - color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary colors. They also who the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, and analogous colors next to each other.
3.
Shape - are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world.
4. Value (Tone) - refers to dark and light. It helps us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.
5.
Form - describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.


6.Texture - refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
7. Space - refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. It can be positive or negative, open or closed, shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
