SHAPE Shapes have height and width shapes are flat/2 -dimensional

Geometric shapes are precise and measureable Organic-Natural Shapes are shapes found in nature / are not measureable

Form A form has height, width and depth, and is 3 -dimensional. In 2 d art we create the illusion of form by using perspective or shading and modeling techniques

There are two main types of texture: Real texture- the way the surface of an object actually feels. • Implied (visual) texture This type of texture is used by artists when drawing or painting. • Third type- invented/creative texture which is basically just patterns or contour lines

COLOR • is perceived when light hits and reflects off of an object. • Three properties of color are Hue (name of a color), Intensity (strength of a color) and Value (lightness or darkness of a color).

COLOR WHEEL

refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Value gives objects depth and perception.

SPACE There are two types of space: • Positive space refers to the actual subject matter in a work of art. • Negative space refers to the space around and between the subject matter.
