Elements of Art

Line is a mark with greater length than width. Lines can be horizontal, vertical,   
or diagonal; straight or curved; thick or thin

Shape is a closed line. Shapes can be geometric, like squares and circles; or   
organic, like free-form or natural shapes. Shapes are flat and can express length   
and width.

Forms are three-dimensional shapes expressing length, width, and depth. Balls,   
cylinders, boxes, and pyramids are forms.

Space is the area between and around objects. The space around objects is often 
called negative space; negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the 
feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in visual art, when we create 
the feeling or illusion of depth, we call it space.

Color is light reflected off of objects.

Texture is the surface quality that can be seen and felt. Textures can be rough or   
smooth, soft or hard.
