  1. IS IT WHAT IS ART? FORM? CONTENT? STYLE? MEDIUM?

  2. LINE SHAPE

  3. COMPOSITION SPACE An element of art, space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is. MASS & VOLUME

  4. COLOR HUE VALUE SATURATION

  5. Maybe Art is a point of view- the angle from which we see the world.

  6. Perspective is an attempt to reproduce objects on a flat surface as they appear to the eye.

  7. Form refers to the visible elements of a piece, independent of their meaning. For example, in Leonardo's Mona Lisa, the formal elements are color, dimension, lines, mass, shape, etc., while the feelings of mystery and intrigue the piece evokes are informal products of the viewer's imagination. Form is an element of art. At its most basic, a form is a three-dimensional geometrical figure (i.e.: sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc.), as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat.

  8. Meaning is a question of CONTENT, which includes: But what does it mean? Subject matter Context (social, political, and economic) Intention (artist) Reception or interpretation (of and by the viewer) Iconography and symbolism

  13. The ESSENCE that is Abstraction “I know I cannot paint a flower.
