The document outlines the key elements of art: point, line, colour, shape, texture, value, space, and form. It provides brief definitions and examples for each element. Point is defined as the smallest element, a dot. Line is described as a mark with length and direction that can be straight, curved, thick, thin, etc. Colour consists of hue, intensity, and value. Shape is a flat enclosed area created by lines. Texture refers to the surface quality of an object. Value is the lightness or darkness of an area. Space can be positive or negative areas. Form is a 3D object or something that appears 3D in a 2D work. These elements are the basic building blocks and vocabulary

When a line crosses
over itself it creates a
shape.
Joan Miró

9. Examples of
shapes could be
geometric,
organic/natural,
irregular, circle,
square, rectangle,
etc.

10. A 3-dimensional object
(3D); or something in a 2-
dimensional artwork that
appears to be
3-dimensional.
Objects having three
dimensions (3D), or
height, width, and
depth. You can walk
around a form.
Jean Arp

11. The distance or area between,
around, above, below, or within
things.
Gustave Caillebotte

12. Positive space
refers to the part
