This document discusses several key elements of visual art:
Line refers to the path of a moving point that outlines shapes, and can be straight, curved, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. Shape is a two-dimensional area defined by connected lines. Form is a three-dimensional projection of a shape that has volume and mass. Value refers to the range of lights and darks in a work from black to white. Color is the character of a surface based on light reflection wavelengths. Texture describes the roughness or smoothness of a surface, whether real or illusory. Space can be two-dimensional with height and width or three-dimensional with added depth, volume, and time.

the edge of a flat shape, or outline of a solid object. It is longer than it is wider.Lines do have some width as well as length, this is called measure. Types of line refers to straight, curvy, horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zigzag, implied, and angular. Direction pertains to the movement that a line may have or seem to indicate. Location refers to the placement of a line.
Shape is a two-dimensional area made
by connecting lines that establish the contour of an object. Shapes may be positive or negative, biomorphic or geometric. Shapes may stand out also by a difference of value, color, or texture.
The three dimensional projection
of a shape, it has volume, dimension, appears to have mass. This element is frequently used in sculpture. It may also refer to the overall organization of the work of art, as a second meaning.
The appearance of lights and darks found in a
work of art. These range from black to white with numerous shades of gray in between.
The character of a surface created by the
response of vision to the wavelength of light reflections. It identifies objects, creates moods, and affects emotions. (warm, cool, primary, secondary, intermediate, analogous, and complementary).
The roughness or smoothness of
a surface. Texture can be real, tactile(sandpaper), or illusion (looks soft, but not).
Interval of measurable distance between preestablished points. Space can be limited or
shallow, or extended or deep in design. Twodimensional space has height and width. Three-dimensional space has height, width, volume, and time. Deep--foreground, middle ground, background. Shallow--foreground and background.
