Elements of Art

THE ELEMENTS OF ART ARE THE ACTUAL VISUAL COMPONENTS TO AN ART PIECE.

THE ELEMENTS OF ART ARE WHAT THE ARTIST USES TO CREATE THE ART PIECE.

WHEN WE ANALYSE ANY DRAWING, PAINTING, SCULPTURE OR DESIGN, WE EXAMINE THESE COMPONENT PARTS TO SEE HOW THEY COMBINE TO CREATE THE OVERALL EFFECT OF THE ARTWORK.

EACH OF THE ELEMENTS MAY ALSO BE USED INDIVIDUALLY TO STRESS THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CHARACTER IN AN ARTWORK. DIFFERENT ELEMENTS CAN EXPRESS QUALITIES SUCH AS MOVEMENT AND RHYTHM, SPACE AND DEPTH, GROWTH AND STRUCTURE, HARMONY AND CONTRAST, NOISE AND CALM AND A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS THAT MAKE UP THE SUBJECTS OF GREAT ART.
