3. The path of a moving point at
the edge of a flat shape, or
outline of a solid object. It is
longer than it is wide.
Lines do have some width as
well as length, this is called
measure.
Types of line are
straight, curvy, horizontal, ver
tical, diagonal, zigzag, implied
, and angular.

4. Shape is a two-dimensional area
made by connecting lines that show
the edges of an object.
Shapes may be positive or negative,
organic or geometric.
Shapes may stand out also by a
difference of value, color, or texture.

5. The three dimensional
projection of a shape. It has
volume, dimension, and
appears to have mass. This
element is frequently used in
sculpture.

6. The appearance of lights and darks
found in a work of art.
These range from black to white
with numerous shades of gray in
between.

7. The way an object or substance reacts when
light is reflected by the object. Usually
determined visually by a measurement of hue
(color), saturation (purity of color), and
brightness of the reflected light (how much
light). It identifies objects, creates
moods, and affects emotions.
(warm, cool, primary, secondary, intermediate
, and complementary).

8. The roughness or
smoothness of a surface.
Texture can be
real, tactile(sandpaper), or
illusion (looks soft, but not).

9. Amount of measurable distance between
pre-established points.
Two-dimensional space has height and
width.
Three-dimensional space has height,
width, volume. Deep--foreground, middle
ground, background. Shallow--
foreground and background.
