ELEMENTS OF ART

The Elements of Art (EOA) are the

building blocks or parts used by

artists to create a work of art. Artists

manipulate the seven elements, mix

them in with principles of design and

compose their art. Each artist uses

the elements in different ways to give

a special look to their artwork.
