COLOR
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)

SHAPE
Shape pertains to the use of areas in two-dimensional space that can be defined
by edges, setting one flat specific space apart from another. Shapes can be
geometric (e.g.: square, circle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of
a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) Shapes are defined by other elements of
art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, shape, form.

Texture
The texture is the quality of a surface, often corresponding to its tactile
character, or what may be sensed by touch. Texture may be used, for example, in
portraying fabrics. It can be explicitly rendered, or implied with other
artistic elements such as lines, shading, and variation of color. It also
includes the blending with the colors.

SPACE
Space is the area provided for a particular purpose. Space includes the
background, foreground and middle ground. Space refers to the distances or areas
around, between and within things. It has two kinds: negative and positive.

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.

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.
