Elements of Art 1 Composition

• How a piece of art is arranged. Composition can
  create hierarchy, which highlights the most
  important elements and forces less important
  elements to recede. Compositions can be
• Symmetrical or
• Asymmetrical

4
Elements of Art 2 Line

• Line is an essential part of any work of art, and
  aids the viewers eye in moving up, down, across,
  and through the composition. Different kinds of
  line create different sensations and feelings.
  Line may be
• Straight or curved
• Thick or thin
• Diagonal, horizontal, or vertical
• Or any combination of these!

5
Elements of Art 3 Shape and Form

• Shape and form differ from each other in that
  shape is two-dimensional and form is
  three-dimensional. Each may or may not be defined
  by line, and create the basis of a composition.
  Shape and form may be
• Organic or
• Geometric and
• May be repeated to
• create a pattern

6
Elements of Art 4 Space

• Many types of art depict three-dimensional
  objects or scenes on a two-dimensional plane. The
  successful illusion of space is essential to many
  important works of art. Feelings of space can be
  achieved by perspective, or by shading and
  highlighting. Space in an artwork can be divided
  into
• Positive space
• the subject itself
• Negative space
• the space around the subject

Elements of Art 5 Color

• Color is light reflected off of objects, and has
  three main characteristics
• Hue the actual color itself. Red, yellow, blue,
  etc.
• Value how light or dark a colour is.
• Tints are colours white
• Shades are colours black
• Intensity how bright or dull a colour is.
• Various colors, hues, values, and intensities can
  create different feelings and meanings in a work
  of art, and also are used as a device to move the
  viewers eye through a composition.

Elements of Art 6 Texture

• Texture, like space, is often associated with
  three-dimensional objects. In art, texture can
  be
• Created in a two-dimensional work by careful
  use of color, line, and shading
• Actual physical texture
• Surface texture the texture of a
  three-dimensional object
• The texture of what is generally a
  two-dimensional work, such as a painting, when
  unconventional materials are used.
