The Elements of Art are a commonly used group of aspects of a work of art used in teaching and analysis, in combination with the Principles of Art.

Space

Space (2D)can also be created by overlapping objects or objects placed at a distances which can be rendered with less detail, clarity, and intensity than the closer ones.

Texture

Texture is the quality of a surface. It can be real or created with lines, shading, repetition can be used to create different textures as well. For example, if one is portraying certain fabrics, one needs to give the feeling of the right texture so that it closely resembles what the artist is trying to convey.Texture is mainly how it feels. An, example could be sexy ladies holding a slimy snake.

Line

Line is most easily defined as a mark that spans a distance between two points (or the path of a moving point), taking any form along the way. As an art element, line pertains to the use of various marks, outlines and implied lines in artwork and design, most often used to define shape in two-dimensional work.

Implied line is the path that the viewer's eye takes as it follows shapes, colours, and form along a path, but may not be continuous or physically connected, such as the line created by a dancer's arms, torso, and legs when performing an arabesque

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, triangle, hexagon, etc.) or organic (such as the shape of a puddle, blob, leaf, boomerang, etc.) in nature. Shapes are defined by other elements of art: Space, Line, Texture, Value, Color, Form.

Color

Color pertains to the use of hue in artwork and design. Defined as primary colors(red, yellow, blue) secondary colors (green, orange, purple) which are directly mixed from combinations of primary colors. Further combinations of primary and secondary colors create tertiary and more hues. Tint and Shade are references to adding variations in Value. Other tertiary colors are derived by mixing either a primary or secondary color with a neutral color. e.g. Red + White = Pink.

Value

Value, or tone, refers to the use of light and dark, shade and highlight, in an artwork. Black-and-white photography depends entirely on value to define its subjects. Value is directly related to contrast,how dark or bright it is.
