The path of a point through space. Lines can be combined with other lines to create textures and patterns. The use of line in combination results in the development of form and value, which are other elements of art.
Shape:
Shapes are the result of closed lines that implies spatial form and is perceived as 2-dimensional (flat).
Geometric:
such as circles,triangles, and squares. These shapes have perfect, uniform measurements and do not often appear in nature
Organic:
Associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
Form:
Has length, width, depth and usually resides in space. Forms are perceived as 3-D.
Space:
Refers to the area in which art is organized.
Value:
Refers to the relative lightness and darkness in an image.
Texture:
Refers to the qualities of a surface.
Tactile textures are actual textures.
Implied textures are visual representations.
Color:
Derived from reflected light. We can see color because of light waves that are reflected from objects to our eyes.
