The Elements of Art and Design


The elements of art and design are a fabulous way to organize your artistic explorations. While each element is quite extensive it can also be broken down into it's simplest form and explored through a variety of mediums.
A root knowledge of these elements will emerge as you build a library of artistic experiences.
These are not boundaries or guidelines but affirmations of  your discoveries.

  • Line
  • Shape
  • Form
  • Color
  • Texture

(size, value, and direction are also elements that can be explored through the five listed above)
In subsequent posts we will explore each of these topics in a little more depth before we apply them to practical explorations.
