A brief explanation of the elements of art and the principles of design.

Elements of Art

These are the building blocks of any artwork.

Line - the path of a point moving through space, can be straight, curved, jagged, can be a literal drawn line, or a line that eye moves along in a piece, it's direction can dramatically alter a piece



Shape - an enclosed area of space, can be created with lines or using other elements, can be geometric or natural or abstract



Form - a bit like shape except 3d in nature, can be actually 3d or perceived by using other elements (such as dark edges or drop shadows)




Space - covers a few things, such as perspective and depth, mainly concerned with positive (the space taken up by objects) and negative space (the space not taken up by objects)



Texture - the tactile nature of a piece, can be actual or perceived



Colour - well, this hardly needs explanation!



Tone - the lightness or darkness of a colour. A tint is made by adding white, a shade by adding black, and a tone by adding grey. Tone can also be created by varying line width or closeness
