The Elements of Art

Choose an artwork and break down its elements – Line, Shape, Color, Texture, Space, Form, and Value.

Every piece of art, regardless of style or medium, is made up of the seven core elements of art. Select a piece of art and analyze how each element is used. Discuss how they interact and contribute to the overall aesthetic and meaning of the piece. Try to understand how the artist might have manipulated these elements to create a specific effect or mood.
