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
