The Elements of Art
3
Elements of Art The foundation of all two and three dimensional art work. The basic visual vocabulary that is used to create simple and complex art. In other words: the “Elements of Art” are the basic components/techniques we use to make the painting, drawing, design, etc.
4
Elements of Art 7 elements are used to create art: Line Shape Form
Colour Value Texture Space
5
Elements of Art: LINE Line is the path of a point moving through space. An artist uses strokes that show motion and connect two points. Lines may be vertical, horizontal diagonal, curved, straight, or zigzag.
6
Elements of Art: LINE Lines define shape.
Repeated lines make texture or modelling . Converging lines give the illusion of space. (like in the image to the right)
7
Elements of Art: LINE Lines can be emotional.
Geometric lines are tense and mechanical. Organic lines are fluid and natural.

Elements of Art: LINE Organic lines are fluid and natural.
10
Elements of Art: LINE Types of line can include actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and contour (outlines). Lines can be soft or hard. Leonardo da Vinci used a soft, sensitive line to create a graceful image. Leonardo da Vinci – 'Angel for the Madonna of the Rocks' ca
11
Elements of Art: LINE Here, the artist Willem DeKooning has use thick, heavy gestural lines to create a very different feeling image. Woman 1 by Willem de Koonin Oil on canvas
12
Elements of Art: LINE The difference in line quality can create works with very different impact. The woman's face in this image is created with a mechanical lines creating an emotionally detached feeling.
13
Elements of Art: SHAPE Shape is a closed two- dimensional area or figure that has a definite outline created by a line, colour, texture or value that separates it from the background.
14
Elements of Art: SHAPE Placing the shapes together or on top of each other can create newer shapes and images.
15
Elements of Art: SHAPE Most drawings utilize shapes to create the basis of the image.
16
Elements of Art: FORM Form is a shape given 3- dimensional volume by using texture, colour or value. Note: A circle is a shape, a sphere is its related 3-D form.
17
Elements of Art: FORM
18
Elements of Art: FORM Form shows an object in the space it occupies and its mass.
19
Elements of Art: FORM Using simple lines can create the illusion of “Form” in art.

Elements of Art: SHAPE vs FORM
Which fish is depicting Shape vs Form?
21
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Colour is our visual response to the wavelength of light reflected from a surface. There are 3 types of colours. Primary Secondary Tertiary
22
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Primary Colours consist of: Red Blue Yellow These colours can not be created by mixing any other colours
23
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Secondary Colours are created by mixing two primary colours. Red + Blue = Purple/Violet Blue + Yellow = Green Yellow + Red = Orange
24
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Tertiary Colours (aka Intermediate Colours) are created by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. Red-Orange Red Violet Purple Blue Blue Green Greenish Yellow Orangey Yellow
25
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Colours ranging from Yellow to Red-Violet are considered to be Warm Colours. The other colours are considered to be Cool Colours.
26
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Colours that are most different from one another are called Complimentary Colours. These colours are contrasting and sit opposite with each other.
27
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Complimentary Colours
28
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Colours that are most like one another and are near each other on the colour wheel are called Harmonious Colours. These colours are usually 2 colours away on the wheel.
29
Elements of Art: COLOUR
Harmonious Colours
30
Elements of Art: VALUE Value is the lightness of darkness of an object, colour or image. In other words, how light or dark things are.
31
Elements of Art: VALUE Value can create a mood by making the art work more lighter or darker.
32
Elements of Art: TEXTURE
Texture is the visual and/or tactile surface of an object or material. There are 3 types of texture. Simulated Actual Invented
33
Elements of Art: TEXTURE
Simulated Texture is a realistic photographic rendering of the texture.
34
Elements of Art: TEXTURE
Actual Texture is the use of the actual object to create the texture.
35
Elements of Art: TEXTURE
Invented Texture is a texture created and only exists through the mind of the artist.
36
Elements of Art: SPACE Space is the area around, inside or between shapes or forms. Space is created by using other elements and principles.
37
Elements of Art: SPACE In visual art, space can be real (as in architecture or a three dimensional illusion).
38
Elements of Art: SPACE Placement of your lines, shapes, and images on your paper can also create the illusion of space.
