The 7 Elements of Art

"The Seven Elements of Art" consist of lines, colors, value, shapes, form, texture, and space. These fundamental components can work together or be isolated to create works of art.

 Line:

A point moving in space.

Color:

In photography, color is derived from reflections of light. The primary colors of photography, or light in general, are red, green, and blue.

Value:

Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a hue. It can be classified as low-key or high-key. Low-key is darker and implies a feeling of sadness and/or suspense, while high-key is lighter and conveys more positive feelings.

Shape:

An area enclosed by an outline and is 2-dimensional.

Form:

Has volume and is 3-dimensional.

Texture:

The real or implied feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance.

Space:

The 2-dimensional arrangement of objects in a photograph. Space also refers to the 3-dimensional illusion of depth. It can be classified into two separate categories: positive space(generally the subject) and negative space(the background or surrounding space).
