elements of art/principles of design
Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
Shape :
Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous
line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have
perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic
shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants
and animals.
Color :
Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors,
and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the
relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such
as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to
each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be
thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the
presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and
therefore the absence of color.
Value :

Form :
Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
Texture :
Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth,
silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless. Texture refers to the
surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
