 REVIEW
1. _____________An element of art that is two-dimensional, flat,
or limited to height and width.
2. ____________The lightness or darkness of tones or colors.
3. ____________An element of art by which positive and
negative areas are defined or a sense of depth achieved in
a work of art .
4. ______________ A principle of design that indicates movement,
created by the careful placement of repeated elements in a work
of art to cause a visual tempo or beat.
5. ________________A way of combining elements to stress the
differences between those elements.

 Reviewing Element of Art

• 1. Line- An element of art

defined by a point moving in
space. Line may be two-or
three-dimensional, descriptive,
implied, or abstract.

• 2. Shape-An element of art that is

two-dimensional, flat, or limited to
height and width.
 Reviewing Element of Art

• 3.Form-An element of art that is

three-dimensional and encloses
volume; includes height, width AND
depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a
pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may
also be free flowing.
 Reviewing Element of Art

• 4. Value-The lightness or darkness

of tones or colors. White is the
lightest value; black is the darkest.
The value halfway between these
extremes is called middle gray
 Reviewing Element of Art

• 5.Space- An element of art by

which positive and negative
areas are defined or a sense of
depth achieved in a work of
art .
 Reviewing Element of Art

• 6. An element of art made up of three

properties: hue, value, and intensity. • Hue:
name of color • Value: hue’s lightness and
darkness (a color’s value changes when white or
black is added) • Intensity: quality of brightness
and purity (high intensity= color is strong and
bright; low intensity= color is faint and dull)
 Reviewing Element of Art

• 6.Texture-An element of art that

refers to the way things feel, or
look as if they might feel if
touched.
 Principles of Art
1.Rhythm Movement
2.Balance
3.Emphasis
4.Harmony
5.Unity
6.Variety
7.Proportion
 Principles of Art

• 1.Rhythm, Movement-A principle

of design that indicates movement,
created by the careful placement of
repeated elements in a work of art
to cause a visual tempo or beat.
 Principles of Art

2.Balance- A way of combining

elements to add a feeling of
equilibrium or stability to a work of
art. Major types are symmetrical and
asymmetrical.
 Principles of Art

3. Emphasis (contrast) A way of

combining elements to stress the
differences between those elements.
 Principles of Art

4. Proportion A principle of design

that refers to the relationship of
certain elements to the whole and to
each other.
 Principles of Art

5. Harmony A way of combining

similar elements in an artwork to
accent their similarities (achieved
through use of repetitions and subtle
gradual changes)
 Principles of Art

6. Variety A principle of design

concerned with diversity or contrast.
Variety is achieved by using
different shapes, sizes, and/or colors
in a work of art.

1. Analyze the art element and Principles

applied in the production of art?
2. Reflect on and derive the mood, idea, or
message emanating from this artwork.
