This document defines and provides pictures for key elements of design including line, shape, color, value, texture, space, and form. It explains that lines are one-dimensional paths that vary in width, direction and length. Shapes are two-dimensional flat enclosed areas that can be geometric or organic. Color has three properties - hue, intensity, and value, with value describing the lightness or darkness of a surface.

Design

Line A line is a path made by a


moving point through space. It
is one-dimensional and can vary
in width, direction and length.

Shape Shapes are flat enclosed areas


that are two-dimensional (length
and height). Artists use both
geometric and organic shapes.

Color Color is perceived by the way


light reflects off a surface. There
are three properties of color: hue
(color name), intensity
(strength/purity), and value
(lightness and darkness)
Value Value describes the lightness or
darkness of a surface

Texture Texture describes the surface


quality of an object. Artists use
both actual texture and implied
texture

Space Space is used to create the


illusion of depth within an
artwork. It can also refer to the
positive and negative space
between, around, or within
objects

Form Forms are three-dimensional


and can be viewed from many
angles. Forms have volume and
take up space
