    Elements of Art

    Color: Is an element of art with three properties1) Hue, the


    name of the color 2) Intensity or the purity and strength of
    the color such as brightness or dullness. 3) Value, or the
    lightness or darkness of the color.
    Form/Shape: Form is an element of art that is three-
    dimensional (cubes, spheres, cylinders). Shape is an
    enclosed space defined by other elements of art and may
    take on the appearance of two-d or three-d objects. 
    Line: is an element of art which refers to the continuous
    mark made on a surface by a moving point. It may be two
    dimensional, like a pencil mark on a paper or it may be
    three dimensional (wire) or implied (the edge of a shape or
    form). Often it is an outline, contour or silhouette.
    Space: refers to the distance or area between, around,
    above or within things. It can be a description for both 2
    and 3 dimensional art. 
    Texture: refers to the surface quality or "feel" of an object,
    such as roughness, smoothness, or softness. Actual texture
    can be felt while simulated textures are implied by the way
    the artist renders areas of the picture.
    Value: describes the lightness or darkness of a color. Value
    is needed to express Volume.

    Principles of Art

    Balance: is a sense of stability in an art work. Balance can


    be created by repeating same shapes and by creating a
    feeling of equal weight.
    Contrast: refers to the differences in the work or art. You
    can achieve variety by using different shapes, textures,
    colors and values. 
    Emphasis/Focal Point: Emphasis in a composition refers
    to developing points of interest to pull the viewer's eye to
    important parts of the body of the work.
    Movement/Rhythm: Movement adds excitement to and
    art work by showing action and directing the viewers’ eye
    throughout the picture plane. Rhythm is a type of
    movement in drawing and painting that is seen in
    repeating of shapes and colors. Alternating lights and
    darks also give a sense of rhythm.  
    Proportion/Scale: refers to the relationships of the size of
    objects in a body of work (smallness or largeness).
    Repetition: indicating movement by the repetition of
    elements in an art work.
    Unity/Harmony: is seen in a painting or drawing when all
    the parts equal a whole.
