Art has 7 elements that artists use to create works: line, shape, form, color, value, texture, and space. Line is a mark with greater length than width and defines the edges of shapes. Shape is a closed line that defines an area, and form is a three-dimensional shape or object. Color is the visual sensation dependent on the light spectrum, and value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Texture refers to the surface quality of materials, and space is the area between, around, above, below, or contained within objects.
