Art Elements Flashcards
line
lines aren’t just straight
or otherwise; they can also be
abstract or implied, or two or
three dimensional.
SPACE
Space is based on where and how the
artist applies all the other elements of
art on their work.
Space allows artists to set the
foreground, middle ground, or
background for paintings.
TEXTURE
Texture connects with the sense
of touch. For artwork that cannot
be touched,
the artist uses texture to show
how something looks like it would
feel.
COLOUR
Colour itself has three elements: hue,
value, and intensity.
Colours can hold emotion.
The meaning of an artwork can
drastically change just by playing around
with these elements.
VALUE
In connection with color, value determines
how light or dark color is when used in art.
The lightest value of color is white, while the
darkest value is black.
SHAPE
Shape is the product of
closed lines. They are two
dimensional and only convey
height and width.
FORM
When a shape acquires depth,
it has form. For example, when a circle
has form, it transforms into a sphere.
