The Elements of Art
Learn about the Elements of Art, the visual components of color, form, line, shape, space, texture, and value.
Key Features
Why developers choose The Elements of Art.
Line
A line is a mark made by a pointed tool. It can be straight, curved, thick, thin, or implied.
Shape
A shape is a two-dimensional area that is defined in some way. It can be geometric or organic.
Form
A form is a three-dimensional object. It has height, width, and depth.
Space
Space is the area between, around, above, below, or within things. It can be positive or negative.
Texture
Texture is the way something feels or looks like it would feel if you could touch it. It can be real or implied.
Value
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. It can be used to create a sense of depth and volume.
Color
Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking an object, is reflected back to the eye. It has three properties: hue, value, and intensity.
Implementation & Strategy
Costs, timelines, and strategic considerations for adopting The Elements of Art.
Estimated Project Costs
The Elements of Art is a framework for creating and analyzing art, so it doesn't have a direct cost. However, there are costs associated with the materials and tools that you use to create art. These costs can range from a few dollars for a pencil and paper to several thousand dollars for a professional-grade camera or a set of oil paints.
Implementation Strategy
The best way to learn the Elements of Art is to practice, practice, practice. Start by creating simple works of art that focus on one or two elements. As you become more comfortable with the elements, you can start to create more complex works of art that incorporate all of the elements.
