Elements of art

Elements of art


  • shape:Shape pertains to the use of areas in two-dimensional space that can be defined by edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be geometric (e.g.: square, circle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) Shapes are defined by other elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, shape, form
  • texture:The texture is the quality of a surface, often corresponding to its tactile character, or what may be sensed by touch. Texture may be used, for example, in portraying fabrics. It can be explicitly rendered, or implied with other artistic elements such as lines, shading, and variation of color.
  • space: Space is the area provided for a particular purpose. Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to the distances or areas around, between or within things. Has two kinds: negative and positive.
  • color:Color pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design. Defined as primary colors red, yellow, blue which  cannot be mixed in pigment  from other hues, secondary colors (green, orange, violet) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors.
  • line:Line is defined as a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional art work.
  • tone value:Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork.


I will use the elements of art in my photography by showing the deeper meaning of photos and by using all of the elements of arts and creating peaces of art that. our nrxt project will be to capture nature with the use of elements of art.
