There are seven elements of art that are considered the building blocks of art as a whole. The seven elements are line, color, value, shape, form, space, and texture. We are going to
review each of these in detail below. “Portrait of a man in red chalk” Leonardo da Vinci (1510) Line- Line is defined as a point moving in space where its length is greater than its width. Lines can be two or three dimensional, implied or abstract. Different types of lines include continuous, broken, jagged, vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Lines are the foundation of drawing.  “Circus #3” Jim Dine (2007) Color- There are three different components to color, there is hue which is the name we give the color (red, yellow, blue, etc.), intensity, which refers to the vividness of the color (intensity can also be referred to as saturation or purity), and value meaning how dark or light a color is. Color can be used symbolically or to produce a pattern or to show contrast in a piece. “The Tetons and The Snake River” Ansel Adams (1942) Value- Value is the lightness or darkness in color. The lightest value is white and the darkest value is black. The difference between values is contrast. You can study the use of value in monochromatic or black and white pieces of art. “Victory Boogie Woogie” Piet Modrian (1944) Shape- Shape is the result of closed lines, they are two dimensional and flat. Shapes can be geometric, such as squares or triangles or they can be organic and not have defined parameters and are more curved and abstract. Shapes in art can be used to control how the viewer perceives a piece. “Fallingwater” Frank Lloyd Wright (1936-1939) Form- When shape acquires depth and becomes three dimensional, it takes on form. Three-dimensional art has an actual form (like in architecture) while two-dimensional pieces can have the illusion of form when the artist uses perspective or shading. Some common forms are cones, pyramids, spheres, and cubes. “Geese Over a Beach” Maruyama Okyo (18th century) Space- Space is any area an artist creates for a specific purpose. Space can be positive or negative. Positive space is an area occupied by an object or form. Negative space is the area that runs between, through, and around or within objects. This includes background, foreground, and middle ground. Space that can be manipulated in art based on how an artist uses lines, shape, form, and color. “Oriental Poppies” Georgia O’Keefe (1927) Texture- Texture is how an object looks or feels. Sometimes texture can actually felt, such as in sculpture or the texture of work can be implied such as if you were to sketch a sheep’s wool. Some words to describe texture include soft, hard, rough, brittle, fluffy, or smooth.

This is the vocabulary we use to describe works of art. Line A path created by a moving point, mark or object. It is a dot that takes a walk. A line can be straight, swirly, wavy, jagged, dotted, dashed, broken, thick, thin, zig zag, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, curved, bold, parallel or perpendicular. Shape A two-dimensional (2D), flat enclosed area. When a line crosses over itself it creates a shape. Examples of shapes could be geometric, organic/natural, irregular, circle, square, rectangle, diamond, oval, crescent, heart, triangle, octagon. Color The element of art derived from reflected or absorbed light. Color adds interest and mood to a work of art. It is also referred to as "Hue". The primary colors are red, yellow and blue. The secondary colors are created by mixing the primary colors. They are purple (violet), orange and green. Texture How something feels or looks like it would feel if you could touch it. There are two kinds of texture: Real (how something actually feels, such as a sculpture) and Implied (when an artist paints or draws a texture but it is artificial). Form Objects having three dimensions (3D), or height, width, and depth. You can walk around a form. Examples of form can include cubes, cylinders, and spheres. Value The lightness or darkness of an object; the degree of lightness or darkness in a piece of art; or the effect of light and shade on objects in a picture. Value vocabulary includes tint (adding white to make something lighter), shade (adding black to make something darker) and hue (the true color). Shadow, highlight, and light source are also some vocabulary words to consider with this element of art. Space The element of art that refers to the emptiness or area around or within objects. Positive space refers to the part of the artwork that takes up space. Negative space is the area around that object. This element of art also refers to the "parts" of the picture...

If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central point and may be similar. Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc. Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art. Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art. Repetition works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art. Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other. When drawing the human figure, proportion can refer to the size of the head compared to the rest of the body. Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential. Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art. Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness. https://www.getty.edu/education/teachers/building_lessons/principles_design.pdf What is the term for light and dark in art?This is an Italian term which literally means 'light-dark'. In paintings the description refers to clear tonal contrasts which are often used to suggest the volume and modelling of the subjects depicted. Artists who are famed for the use of chiaroscuro include Leonardo da Vinci and Caravaggio.
What element of art is about the lights and darks of an artwork?Value is one of the seven elements of art. Value deals with the lightness or darkness of a color. Since we see objects and understand objects because of how dark or light they are, value is incredible important to art.
What is the element of light in art?Light often describes the light source or light reflected within the composition. In realistic compositions, if there is light, there is shadow.
What art element refers to the range of light to dark and the key to the illusion of light?Value creates the illusion of depth.
It helps create depth within by making an object look three-dimensional, or a landscape appear to recede into the distance. Light values make elements feel like they are further away, and dark values make them seem closer.
