Elements of Art- Basic parts an artist uses to create an artwork with understanding. Most commonly referred to as

LINE, COLOR, TEXTURE, SHAPE, FORM, SPACE, and sometimes VALUE.

Balance, Pattern, Repetition, Rhythm, Unity, Harmony, Dominance, Emphasis. (An artist may choose to emphasize

an idea using color)

Art Criticism: 4 Steps to Looking at Art

What do you see?

Describe the elements of art you see in an art work.

How is it arranged?

Observe the decisions the artist made to compose the work, such as bright and dark colors placed next to each other to

make something stand out.

What does it mean?

The decisions the artist made were meant to communicate something to the viewer, such as showing how far away an

object is from the subject to communicate the struggle to get it.

Is it successful?

If you think about these clues and consider the purpose of the artwork, you can decide if it is successful or not.

Forming an opinion and making a judgement is more effective when we have observed the work, perceive the

elements and what the arrangement tells us, and sort out the things that make the work successful or not.

Color Theory

Color is the most expressive element of art. We use color to describe emotions or feeling like “red with anger” or

“green with envy”

Hue-The family of colors such as Baby Blue, Indigo Blue, Cobalt Blue, Dodger Blue, etc.….

Value-How dark or how light a color is

Intensity-How pure, or saturated, a color is. Adding black or white to a color makes it less saturated.
