  1. (The Ingredients for Good Art) The Elements of Art

  2. LINE • Line helps create a sense of movement or stability in a photograph. • Types of line: • Organic • Geometric • Sketch • Calligraphy • Structure

  3. Shape • an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art (i.e.: lines, colors, values, textures, etc.). • Shapes are two dimensional: they have only length and width. There are Geometric shapes (circles, rectangles, squares, triangles) and Organic shapes, which have natural, less well-defined edges (think: an amoeba, or a cloud).

  4. Form • a three-dimensional geometrical figure (i.e.: sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.), as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat. Form can be real ( in 3-D works of art) or implied ( in 2-D works of art)

  5. Color The first ishue, which simply means the name we give to a color (red, yellow, blue, etc.). • There are three (3) properties to color: The second is intensity, which refers to the strength and vividness of the color. For example, we may describe the color blue as "royal" (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (grayed). The third and final property of color is its value, meaning its lightness or darkness. The terms shadeand tint are in reference to value changes in colors.

  6. Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork. Black-and-white photography depends entirely on value to define its subjects. Value is directly related to contrast. Value

  7. TEXTURE is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work. Take rocks, for example. A real, 3-D rock might feel rough or smooth, and definitely feels hard when touched or picked up. A painter, depicting a rock, would create the illusions of these qualities through use of color, line, shape, etc.

  8. space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. Space can be positive(containing an object/image) or negative(empty space), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
