Elements of Art

Line- marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc

Shape-formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet

Color- Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

Value (Tone)- or tone, refers to dark and light 

Form- describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height. 

Texture- refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

Space- refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece.
