Elements of Art

Your students should be becoming very familiar with the elements of art at this point.  We have been working on them the last two weeks.  We will be moving on to the Principals of design next week,  and then begin preparing for a test on the elements and principals.   Below is a list of the elements of art.

• Line
• Shape
• Form
• Value
• Space
• Texture
• Color

Ask your students about them.  These tools will vastly improve their skills as artists,  and vastly improve their understanding as viewers of art.   My goal by the end of this year is to allow each of my students to make informed judgements about a work of art,  and have the vocabulary to explain their judgement.
