Elements of Art

What are the Elements of Art?

The Elements of art convey meaning and


express ideas and feelings. They firmly
rooted in psychophysical experiences in
particular culture, their values, their
priorities and their convention.
The elements of art are the building
blocks of all art. Every piece of art
ever created includes one or more of
these elements. Learn about line,
color, shape, form, value, space, and
texture.
A. Line
In the visual arts, it is refers to
the quality of the line, weather
thin, broken, thick or blended
among others. When several lines
come together they create texture.
Which can be very thin, washed or
very thick, rough or fine.

It is the color or shade. Hue's may vary in
saturation, intensity or brilliance. It is the
another aspect of color.
Value or tone refers to brightness or
darkness.
Some artists uses polychromatic

colors.
Some artists prefers
monochromatic scheme means
using only one color.
Polychromatic Scheme Color
Monochromatic Scheme Color
Visual artists use colors in different ways
depending on their styles and preferences.
Artists use color as representational element
intending to depict the world accurately as
possible. Portraits approximate skin tone and
color; landscape and still life depict actual
conditions of environment through shading, play
of light and dark or chiaroscuro.
Most contemporary and modern artists
are more personal and expressionist in
their use of color with color schemes
to convey mood, atmosphere and
symbolic potential as opposed to
conveying literal meaning.
Galo Ocampo (modern artist)
He colored the bodies, trees and the
earth very differently and intensely,
creating a desolate nightmarish
landscape that conveys his idea of
extreme suffering in a deflected
world.

three-dimensional. Two-dimensional shapes
exist as planes having length and width.
