The building blocks of all 3-Dimensional Art.The building blocks of all 3-Dimensional Art.
1. form
FORM
• A form is a three-dimensional object: it has height, width and depth.
• Every sculpture is a form, but not every form is a sculpture.
2. plane
PLANE
• A plane is a two-dimensional surface: it has height and width.
• Planes can be used to define edges, or to change the “flow” of a sculpture.
3. lineLINE
• A line is one-dimensional, and is used in sculpture to lead the viewer’s eye in, around and through a form.
• Line can be actual or implied.
4. space
SPACE
• A space is the absence of form, such as a hole going into or through an object, or a concave surface.
• Space helps make a form more inviting by making the viewer look in, around or through it to the other side.
• Space between multiple objects can create a tension or attraction that makes the group more interesting.

5. color
COLOR
• A color is chosen to enhance a 3D form, not to distract from it.
• Color can be applied (such as painted on) or inherent (such as the natural color of stone).
• Color can be used to enhance the theme or meaning within a work of art.
6. texture
TEXTURE
• A texture is a repetitive mark on the surface of a sculpture, meant to create interest through contrast.
• Deeply textured areas appear darker, and smoother, non-textured areas appear lighter.
7. value
VALUE
• A value is a highlight or shadow on the surface of a sculpture, meant to create interest through contrast.
• Deeply carved areas have dark, shadowed values. Areas that stick out have highlighted values.
• TEXTURE CREATES VALUE!
8. subject
• The subject is what is being portrayed in the artwork.
• The theme is a message the artist is trying to communicate to the viewer.
SUBJECT & THEME
1. balance
BALANCE
• Balance can be the equal physical and/or visual weight on all sides of a piece.
• Balance can be symmetrical (same on all sides) or asymmetrical (different objects, but still visually balanced.
2. unity & variety
UNITY & VARIETY
• Unity is an overall “sameness” throughout a work of art, using the Elements to create that unity.
• Variety is the use of different kinds of Elements to create contrast.
