ELEMENTS OF ART- Defined
Elements of art are the basic components or “building blocks” such as line, shape, form, value, color, texture, and space that artists use to create an artwork.
An artist can choose which elements to use to get his/her idea, belief, feeling or experience across.
LineLINE is a continuous mark with length and direction, created by a point that moves across a surface.
Implied lines are a series of points that the viewer’s eyes automatically connect or the “line” between two colors. They are “suggested” lines-not “real” lines.
Contour lines are the edges and surface ridges of an object.

ValueThe lightness or darkness of a color. Sometimes that color is black as in a drawing or photograph

The artist chose to draw on paper and used many different values to make the bottles of cherries look 3 dimensional.She used curved lines and horizontal lines.
Color
Color has three properties: (1) hue-the color’s name, e.g., red, yellow, blue, etc.: (2) intensity- the purity and strength of a color, e.g., bright red or dull red; and (3) value- the lightness or darkness of a color.
When a ray of white light is split, a color spectrum (rainbow) is created and we can see colors.
Prism
COLOR
Color is seen when light strikes an object and the individual color reflects back to the eyes.
Light hits an object
Red reflects back to the eye-all other colors are absorbed into the object
IntensityIntensity is the purity and strength of a color,
e.g., bright red or dull red.
A color is made duller by adding its complement.
red made duller byadding green
Value of a colorValue is the lightness or darkness
of a color.
Tint-made by adding white to a color
Shade-made by adding black to a color
Texture
An element of art which refers to the surface quality or "feel" an object has-its smoothness, roughness, softness, etc.
TYPES OF TEXTURE Textures may be actual or implied. Actual
textures can be felt with the fingers, while implied textures are suggested by an artist.
1. Space is the depth between objects that make some objects look behind another or farther away2. Space can be positive and negative
