Answer:
Here is a list of the different elements of art:
Line is a stroke made through space. A line comes in different lengths, and can be drawn vertically, horizontally, or curved. Line is the foundation to drawing.
Shape is a closed line with boundaries. Shape is not just circle and triangles, but can come in abstract forms too
Form is the combination of shape and line to create depth. Form is what creates the illusion of three dimension.
Value is how light or dark something appears. Value plays a very important part to shading and highlighting. Contrast is the relationship between the light values and dark values. If there are very light areas and very dark areas, there is a high concentration of contrast. If the values are mainly grey and lightest vs. darkest is not very different, there is little contrast.
Texture is what the surface looks like, like how rough or smooth the drawing looks. Rarely does an art piece actually feel like the texture. Rather, it is the illusion that the object that is drawn looks like it shows this tactile quality.
Color has three properties-hue, value, and intensity. In addition to these, there are primary and secondary colors. Red, yellow, and blue are the primary, and orange, green, and purple are the secondary. One can study the color wheel to see how these colors interact with one another, (complementary are opposite of each other, analogous sit next to each other.
Space is the area between objects. Blank space if referred to as negative space. With three dimensional art, space refers to perspective. Perspective is the illusion of depth. Elements of perspective and space include foreground and background. In general, space and perspective refer to the overall layout of the art piece.
These are the seven elements of art.
(The elements of art are different than the principles of art. You can think of it like the elements of art are the basic tools, and the principles of art are how to use those basic tools. In order to become a better artist, one must feel comfortable and understand the elements of art. )
