The Elements of Art are the building blocks for a work of art. Artists use the elements in planned and organized ways. My WebWerks uses these same principles. They are organized according to the Principles of Design.

Shape:
A two-dimensional area or plane that may be open or closed, free form, or geometric, found in nature or made by humans.

  •     Posiive Space:  Shapes, forms or lines that stand out from the background in an art work.
  •     Negative Space: The empty space around forms or shapes in an artwork.

 

 

Form:
The particular characteristics of an artwork's visual elements as distinguished from its subject matter or content; a three-dimensional volume with the same qualities as shape.

  The attributes of form are:

  •     Mass:     Bulk, weight and density of three dimensional forms, either actual or implied.
  •     Volume: Any three-dimensional quantity that is bound or enclosed, whether solid or void.

 

 

 

 

Color:color.jpg
The visual sensation dependent on the reflection or absorbtion of light from a given surface.

    The attributes of color are :

  •     Hue:    The characteristic of color that gives it its name. The spectrum is usually divided into six basic hues: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red.
  •     Intensity:    The brightness or dullness of color.
  •    Value:    The lightness or darkness of a hue or neutral color; the gradations of light and dark in a two-dimensional artwork and on the surface of three-dimensional objects...or...value is all about the differences between light and dark that not only show you what the light is doing, but also help to define the shapes of objects in a picture, regardless of their colors. value.jpg
