Principles and Element of Art Line- is the path of a point moving through space. Shape / Form- implies spatial form and is usually perceived as two- dimensional. Form has depth, length, and width and resides in space. It is perceived as three-dimensional. Color- all come from the three primaries and black and white. They have three properties – hue, value, and intensity. Value- refers to relative lightness and darkness and is perceived in terms of varying levels of contrast. Texture- refers to the tactile qualities of a surface (actual) or to the visual representation of such surface qualities (implied). Space- refers to the area in which art is organized. Perspective is representing a volume of space or a 3- dimensional object on a flat surface
