Is an enclosed two-dimensional space that is defined by other art elements such as line, color, value and texture.

Shapes have length and width.Can be geometric=uniform/perfect measurements & do not occur in nature: circle, square, triangle

Can be organic=flowing & curving appearance/occur in nature like leaves, rocks, shells

Shape

Is a three-dimensional space that has length, width, and depth and encloses volume.

Real form only exists in three-dimensional.

Artists can create the illusion of form on a 2-D surface by using other elements like value and texture.

Is the area between, around, above, below and/or within objects.

Types of space: 2-D, 3-D, open, closed, shallow, deep, actual or illusory.

Can be shown by overlapping objects.

Space

Page 19: Are the basic building blocks to create a work of art.

= overlapping/size relationship

= illusion of depth

Value refers to lightness or darkness.

Value is often described by a scale consisting of shades of gray; usually ranging from white to middle grays to black.

Asymmetrical Balance

Page 44: Are the basic building blocks to create a work of art.

The arrangement of art elements to create a sense of motion by using lines, shapes, values or colors.

This causes the viewers eye to move over the work of art.
