1. Elements of Art By: Kristeren Fatima P. Terol

2. Art It is the product or process of deliberately arranging items in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses , emotions , and intellect . The elements of art are the building blocks used by artists to create a work of art.

3. 7 Elements of Art Line Shape Form Value Texture Color Space

4. Line a mark that is made on a surface or outline . defined by a point moving in space . Can be two-or three-dimensional, descriptive, implied, or Abstract.

5. 5 main kinds of line A . Horizontal Line Lines that run parallel to the ground B. Vertical Line Lines that move up and down.

6. C. Diagonal Line Lines that slant . D. Curved Line Lines that change direction gradually.

7. E. Zigzag line Lines that are made by combining diagonal lines that change direction . These lines when viewed in a work of art create confusion. They suggest action and excitement.

8. Shape It has always two dimensions, length as well as width. It is represented as an enclosed area that is defined by color, value, space, texture and form. When lines form together, they make flat shapes.

9. Categories of Shapes A. Geometric Shapes Also called as regular shapes. These are shapes that are easy to recognize and is use in math information also.

10. B. Organic Shapes Also called as freeform shapes These are shapes that seem to follow no rules. Figures that have a natural look and a flowing, curving appearance.

11. C. Positive Shapes It is the solid forms in a design Occupy positive space . (The positive space is masked by black .) D. Negative Shapes It is the space around the positive shape. (The negative space is masked by black .)

12. E. Static Shape It appears stable and resting . F. Dynamic Shape It appears as if moving and active .

13. Form Has always three dimensions; length, width and height.

14. Types of Form A. Cube A regular solid of six equal square sides. B. Cylinder A surface traced by a straight line moving parallel to a fixed straight line and intersecting a fixed planar closed curve.

15. C. Cone A solid generated by rotating a right triangle about one of its legs . D. Sphere A round solid figure, or its surface, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center .

16. Value Refers to the changes in the base color . Range of lightness and darkness within a picture.

17. Categories of Value A. Tint Adding white to color paint to create lighter values such as light blue or pink . B. Shade Adding black to paint to create dark values such as dark blue or dark red.

18. C. High-Key Where the picture is all light values . D. Low-Key Where the picture is all dark values.

19. E. Value Contrast Where light values are placed next to dark values to create contrast or strong differences . F. Value Scale A scale that shows the gradual change in value from its lightest value, white to its darkest value black.

20. Texture The quality of a surface or the way any work of art is represented. Also refers to the way a picture is made to look rough or smooth . Categories of Texture Real Texture Implied Texture

21. color Has three characteristics, which are hue, value and intensity . Hue means the shades (red, yellow or pink ) Value refers to the lightness or the darkness. Intensity refers to the brightness or dullness of the work of art.

22. Space It is the creation of visual perspective; this gives the illusion of depth. It can also mean the way an artist uses the area within the picture plane. Real space is actually three-dimensional.
