  • It can define the perimeters of the artwork (edges) and/or become a substantial component of the composition
  • Artists use lines to define and enclose spaces

• Form


  3D: height, width, and depth
• Free-form shapes


  Irregular in structure
• Space


  The distance between, around, above, below, or within things
• Simulated space


  An illusion of three-dimensionality can be achieved in a two-dimensional work
• Color


  It is produced when artists use various pigments and dyes to create a range of different hues which the viewer's eyes and brain interpret as colors
• Color is not intrinsic to an object and without light, one cannot perceive color
• Hue


  The first property of color, it can be subdivided into primary, secondary, and tertiary colors
• Form


  The three-dimensional aspects and spaces and shapes
• Value


  The brightness or darkness of color, used to create illusion of depth and solidity, mood, or communicate a feeling
• Value variations


  • Tint (lighter than normal)
  • Shade (darker than normal)
  • Tone (equal amount of black and white)
• Form has depth, while shape has length and width or diameter
• Intensity


  The color's brightness or dullness, defined as the strength of color, whether it is vivid or muted
• Space


  The distance between, around, above, below, or within things
• Color harmonies


  • Monochromatic
  • Complementary
  • Analogous
  • Color triads
  • Split complements
