Elements of Arts

Line: An element of art defined by a point moving in space.
-During our walk an example of line that I saw were the lines of the brick walls lining the bricks.

Shape: An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat, or limited to
height and width.
-An example of shape that I noticed were the different shapes of squares going down the floor of the hallways.

Form: An element of art that is three-dimensional and encloses
volume.
-The stairs were an example of form with their three dimensional square forms.

Value: The lightness or darkness of tones or colors.
-There were many different values on the walls on the outside of the hallways.

Space: An element of art by which positive and negative areas are
defined.
- An example of space I saw was the space between the posts outside and the stairs parallel to them

Color: An element of art made up of three properties:
• Hue: name of color
• Value: hue’s lightness and darkness
• Intensity: quality of brightness and purity
- I saw many different colors going down the hallways and on the ouside in the design of the hallways.

Texture: An element of art that refers to the way things feel, or look
as if they might feel if touched.
- A texture that I found interesting was the hard and rocky texture of the coulumns outside by the stairs supporting the building.
