ELEMENTS
OF
ARTS
These are basic elements that are
used by artist in creating art; they are
what you use to create an aesthetically
pleasing work. When we make art, we
need to understand and apply these seven
elements of art.
1. LINE The Shaft of the Dead Man (Cave of
Lascaux)

Line is defined as a
point moving in space where its
length is greater than its width.
Lines can be two or three
dimensional, implied or abstract.
Different types of lines include
continuous, broken, jagged, vertical,
horizontal, or diagonal. Lines are the
foundation of drawing.
2. SHAPE
Shape is the result
of closed lines, they are two
dimensional and flat. Shapes can be
geometric, such as squares or
triangles or they can be organic and
not have defined parameters and
are more curved and abstract.
Shapes in art can be used to control
how the viewer perceives a piece.
Organic shapes
3. COLOR
Is one of the most
dominant elements. It is created by
light. There are three properties of
color; Hue (name) Value (shades and
tints,)and intensify (brightness.)
Warm colors
Cool colors
HUE
INTENSITY
4. VALUE
Value is the degrees
lightness or darkness in color. The
lightest value is white and the darkest
value is black. The difference
between values is contrast. You can
study the use of value in
monochromatic or black and white
Judgement of Paris (370- pieces of art
330B.C.)
5. FORM
When shape acquires
depth and becomes three dimensional,
it takes on form. Three-dimensional art
has an actual form (like in architecture)
while two-dimensional pieces can have
the illusion of form when the artist uses
perspective or shading. Some common
forms are cones, pyramids, spheres,
and cubes.

stone 18th Dynasty, 1375-
1357 BC
6. TEXTURE
Texture is how an
object looks or feels. Sometimes texture
can actually felt, such as in sculpture or
the texture of work can be implied such
as if you were to sketch a sheep’s wool.
Some words to describe texture include
soft, hard, rough, brittle, fluffy, or
smooth.

7. SPACE
Space is any area an artist creates for a specific
purpose. Space can be positive or negative. Positive space is an
area occupied by an object or form. Negative space is the area that
runs between, through, and around or within objects.

PRINCIPLES
OF
ARTS
The principles of art represent
how the artist uses the elements of art
to create an effect and to help convey
the artist's intent. The use of these
principles can help determine whether a
painting is successful, and whether or
not the painting is finished.
1. BALANCE
A distribution of visual
weight on either side of the vertical
axis. Symmetrical balance uses the
same characteristics. Asymmetrical
uses different but equally weighted
features.

2. CONTRAST
The arrangement of opposite elements (light
vs. dark, rough vs. smooth, small vs. large, etc...) in a
composition so as to create visual interest.

3. EMPHASIS
Uses to make certain parts of an
Artwork stand out. It creates the center of
interest or focal point. It is the place in which
an Artist draws your eye to first.

Court of the Empress Theodora


4. MOVEMENT
How the eye moves
through the composition; leading
the attention of the viewer from
one aspect of the work to
another. Can create the illusion
of action.
Myron the Discobulus 450 BC
5. PATTERN
The repetition of specific
visual elements such as a unit of
Griffin and Arimaspian-
shape or form. A method used to Ancient Greek Painting
organize surfaces in a consistent
regular manner.
6. RHYTHM
Indicates movement, created by the
careful placement of repeated elements in a work of
art to cause a visual tempo or beat.

Villa of Mystery
Pompei
7. UNITY
Visually pleasing agreement among the
elements in a design. It is the feeling that everything in
the work of Artworks together and look like it fits.
