3. FORM
4. SPACE
5. COLOR

2. LINES
 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 work. Implied line is the path that the
viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colors, and
form along a path, but may not be continuous or
physically connected, such as the line created by a
dancer's arms, torso, and legs when performing an
arabesque.

3. EXAMPLES OF LINES
 HORIZONTAL LINES – parallel to the ground
- means to be at rest
VERTICAL LINES – move straight up
- means dignity and
strength

4. EXAMPLES OF LINES
 DIAGONAL LINES – lines that are leaning
- means uncomfortable
 CURVED LINES – lines that seem to change
directions.
- means graceful

5. EXAMPLES OF LINES
 Zigzag Lines – combination of diagonal lines
- means action, excitement, confusion

6. TEXTURE
 Surface quality of an object
 The texture is the quality of a surface or the way any
work of art is represented. Lines and shading can be
used to create different textures as well. For
example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one
needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it
closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey.
It can be implied or real. What you can feel with your
sense of touch.

7. KINDS OF TEXTURES
 TACTILE TEXTURES – real textures, you can touch
and feel

8. KINDS OF TEXTURES
 ARTIFICIAL TEXTURES – human-made surface
quality

9. KINDS OF TEXTURES
 Visual Textures – revoked by a photograph or picture
depicting an object

10. FORM
 Refers to an object with three dimension (
height, width and depth )
 Form may be created by the forming of two or more
shapes or as three-dimensional shape
(cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.). It may be
enhanced by tone, texture and color. Form is
considered three-dimensional showing height, width
and depth. Examples of these are sculpture, theatre
play and figurines.

13. SPACE
Refers to the distance or area within the objects
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 components of a piece.
There are two types of space: positive and negative
space. Positive space refers to the space of a shape
representing the subject matter. Negative space
refers to the space around and between the subject
matter. Space is also defined as the distance between
identifiable points or planes in a work of art.

15. COLOR
 Derived from reflected light
 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. Further combinations of
primary and secondary colors create tertiary (and more)
hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations
in Value; other tertiary colors are derived by mixing
either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color.

16. PRIMARY COLORS
 Primary colors are sets of colors that can be
combined to make a useful range of colors. For
human applications, three primary colors are usually
used, since human color vision is trichromatic.
YELLOW
RED
BLUE

17. SECONDARY COLORS
 A secondary color is a color made by mixing
two primary colors in a given color space.

18. COLOR HAS THREE PROPERTIES
 Hue – is the color’s name
 Value – is the property of color concerned with the
lightness of darkness of a hue
 Intensity – is the brightness or dullness of a color

19. COMPLEMENTARY COLORS
Colors opposite to each
other on the color wheel
Red and Green are
complementary colors

20. MONOCHROMATIC COLOR SCHEME
Harmony of one color and its
variations or different values of
a single color.
A color scheme using dark
blue, medium blue, light blue
are monochromatic

21. ANALOGOUS COLORS
Colors that are side
by side on the color
wheel and share a
hue.

22. SHAPES
 Two – dimensional figure enclosed by a line.
 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, triangle, 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, Form.

23. GEOMETRIC SHAPES
 SQUARE, CIRCLE, TRIANGLE RECTANGLE, OVAL
 Precise shapes

24. ORGANIC SHAPES
 These are not regular or not even shapes
