✓Line is defined as the

path of a moving point

through space (Pasigui
et al.,2009).
✓It is the most
fundamental of all the
elements of art.
✓Line is the simplest,
the most primitive and
the most universal
means for creating
visual art.
 HORIZONTAL LINE
 It is a line that runs
parallel to the ground and
it suggests a feeling of
rest, infinity (long
horizontal line), and
perfect stability.
 The horizontal line is
associated with the body
at rest and thus generally
expresses calmness,
repose, stability, and
tranquility.
 VERTICAL LINE
 It is a line that gives an
impression of height and
dominance or power as
they pointing or extending
towards the sky.
 The vertical line is
associated with the body
in upright standing
position and generally
expresses poise,
alertness, equilibrium,
firmness, strength, and
dignity.
 DIAGONAL LINE
 It is a line that conveys a
feeling of action,
movement, unrest, or
uncertainty.
 The vertical line is
associated with the body
forward and charging
purposefully towards an
objective. It signifies
energy, dynamism,
impulse, willpower,
aspiration, and passion
as well as emotion.
 CURVED LINE
 It is a line that shows
action, life and energy. It
suggests grace and
beauty and is associated
with the body in
movements that create a
rhythm of curved lines in
space.
 Curve lines are allied to
feelings, impulse,
spontaneity, graces,
charm, play, eroticism,
and sensuality.
 ZIGZAG LINE
 It is a line made from combined
diagonal lines that can create a
feeling of confusion or action.
The word zigzag describes the
shape of a line. A line drawn in a
zigzag shape makes a lot of
short, sharp turns. Zigzag can
also be a verb.
 Zigzag line ia a line, course, or
progression characterized by
sharp turns first to one side and
then to the other.
 Shape is a two-
dimensional figure
(length & width)
formed when the
ends of a line meet.
 Shape is an element
of art the refers to an
area clearly set-off by
one or more of the
other elements of art
✓Form is an element of
art that refers to an
object with three
dimensions (length,
width, and depth).
✓An art can be viewed
from more than one
perspective.
✓Space is an element of art
that refers to the distance
between, around, above,
below, and within things.
✓In both 2D and 3D work of
art, the shapes or forms
are called the positive
spaces.
✓The empty spaces between
the shapes are called
negative spaces.
✓Texture is an element
of art that refers to the
way things felt or
perceived (whether
smooth or rough), as to
how they might feel, if
touched.
✓It refers to the surface
quality.
✓Color relies on light.
✓Color refers not only to
the hue but also to the
value, which means the
amount of white or black
in the hue, intensity or
brightness.
✓Color refers to the
product of light of
different wavelengths
reflected off the objects.
PRINCIPLES OF
Value deals with
the lightness or
darkness of a color.
Value deals
directly to light.
Value is the key to
the illusion of light.
The value scale is
a system of
organizing values. It
help to create the
illusion of depth and
three-
dimensionality.
