The three primary colors— red, yellow, and blue—are
used to make all other colors. Artists use color
to create mood.
Color
Shape/Form
Shapes are two-dimensional. Forms are three-dimensional—in
appearance or in actuality (as in a sculpture).
Line
Artists use line to determine the edges of the images they’re
depicting. Lines can have different qualities.
Value
Value is the lightness or darkness of a color.
Artists use value to shade images and add
light and shadows.
Texture
Texture means surface quality. It can be the way
a painting or sculpture actually feels or an
illusion like this feather.
Space
Artists who paint or draw create the illusion of
space on a flat surface. Sculptors create work using physical space.
