7 Elements of Art
Line, Shape, Form, Color, Space, Texture, and Value
Most basic element of art defined by a point moving in space. Line may be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or abstract
Can have different visual characteristics- thin, thick, dark light
Line
A line created by perception of interrupted marks or edges

Form or Volume
are natural shapes which can be symetrical or assymetrical
Organic shapes

Geometric shapes
An element of art by which positive and negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in a work of art
Space
Is the area or part of an artwork’s composition that the subject occupies.
Positive space
The area around the positive space is called the _____.

•Negative space in a composition can help identify
the _____
Focal point
An element of art made up of three properties:
hue, value, and intensity.
Color
name of color, shade of a color
Hue
hue’s lightness and darkness (a color’s
value changes when white or black is added)
is essentially how light or dark something
is on a scale of white to black
Value
