It can have movement and indicate a certain direction

Types of lines:

zigzag, horizontal, vertical, curved, diagonal, straight, angular, and implied.

SHAPE

A two dimensional area created by connecting the lines to make an object

They can be positive or negative shapes

They can be biomorphic or abstract, and geometric like a triangle, square, and or circle

Shapes vary by their color, texture, and or value

It can identify an object, create, provoke or convey emotions and moods.

There are warm and cool colors

There are primary (RED, YELLOW, BLUE) secondary (PURPLE, GREEN, ORANGE) intermediate, analogous, and complementary

WARM or COOL?NAME PRIMARY AND OR SECONDARR COLORS!

TEXTURE

Rough, smooth, rugged, grainy, slippery, calloused, sticky…these are just a few of the abundant possibilities of surface texture

What kind of TEXTURE is this?

SPACE

Can be limited like the confines of a closet. It can be extensive like outer space or shallow like a pond. It can also be as deep as the Ocean.

Two-Dimensional space has height and width

Three-Dimensional space has height, width, time and volume.

Perspective comes into play with space especially when you want to create depth and distance in a drawing or painting.

WHAT KIND OF SPACES DO YOU SEE? DO THESE PICTURES TAKE OF SPACE?

Shallow, Deep, Two-Dimensional, or Three-Dimensional?!
