Elements of Art Worksheet

Art and painting lesson 9: The elements of art · Set 114 · 40 questions

Artist's tip (Seven building blocks): Line = a moving dot’s path; shape = flat (2D); form = solid (3D). Colour = hue (red, blue …); texture = how it feels (rough, smooth, furry). Space = the area around and between things; value = light to dark, from white to black.
