Any artist would be aware of the importance of elements in a design. No artwork can be made without the use of elements such as line, space and shape etc. Therefore it is necessary to learn about these elements in detail, especially if you are a student of art school.
Elements
- Line: A line is not only what is drawn with a pen or a pencil moving the point forward, but also means the position of bodies, objects and images. For example, when a dancer stretches her hands, it forms a line, which is although not present but is instead an implied line. Lines are categorized as Vertical, Horizontal and Diagonal. Vertical lines depict stiffness whereas horizontal line gives an art form the feeling of calm and quiet. Diagonal lines imply a sense of movement and tension, in some cases even violence.
- Color: Colors have a strong impact and can enhance the appeal of the art work. Color is a complex element as it can be used to generate varied effects on the viewer. Proper use makes the art appealing to the viewer, whereas improper use can make the art work look unappealing and resentful.
