2. What is “point” in art?
A point is the visual element on which all others are built. It is a
singularity in space or, in geometric words, the region where two
coordinates meet. When an artist marks a single point on a surface (also
known as the ground), they instantly form a figure-ground relationship.
That is, they split the work into its surface and anything added to it. Our
eyes distinguish between the two, and their arrangement has everything
to do with how we see a finished composition. The point itself can be
used to build formations.
3. Briefly define each element:
 POINT - A point is the visual element on which all others are built.
It is a singularity in space or, in geometric words, the region where
two coordinates meet. When an artist marks a single point on a
surface (also known as the ground), they instantly form a figure-
ground relationship.
 LINE - A line is a distinct route formed by a moving point in
space. It is a one-dimensional object with variable width, direction,
and length. Lines are frequently used to define the margins of a
shape. Lines can be straight or curved, thick or thin, horizontal,
vertical, or diagonal.
 SHAPE - Within the context of art, shape is the external form, the
contours, or the outline of a subject. Though shapes are two-
dimensional in painting and drawing, artists use other elements
including line, color, value, and shadow to give a shape the
appearance of a three-dimensional shape

 MASS - A mass is a solid body or a collection of visual features


(line, color, texture, and so on) that make up a solid shape. Volume
is a three-dimensional shape made up of length, breadth, and
depth. Points (vertices), lines (edges), and planes are all
components of three-dimensional shapes (surfaces).

 SPACE - In a piece of art, space refers to a sense of depth or three


dimensions. It may also relate to the way the artist uses the space
within the image plane. Negative space is the region around the
principal things in a piece of art, whereas positive space is the
space occupied by the primary objects.

 VALUE - The value of a color or hue determines how bright or


dark it may be. Values are better comprehended when shown as a
scale or gradient ranging from dark to bright. The greater the
number of tonal variations in an image, the lower the contrast.

 COLOR - Color is an element made up of colors that have three


properties: hue, chroma or intensity, and value. When light strikes
an object and is reflected back into the eye, color is produced as a
reaction to a hue arising in the optic nerve.

 TEXTURE - Refers to how a surface feels when it is touched or


felt, such as rough, smooth, soft, firm, silky, slimy, sticky, and so
on. 3-D art, such as sculpture and architectural structures, are
tactile because they can be felt. Natural textures include wood,
sandpaper, canvas, pebbles, glass, granite, metal, and so on.
