Shapes are everywhere
If you look around you, you will notice that
almost everything we see is made up of a
Shape or combination of Shapes.
Shapes are organized into two types:
 GEOMETRIC
 ORGANIC
 Geometric shapes:
are usually angular and appear frequently in
man-made objects (square, triangle, circle)
Organic shapes:
 Organic Shapes are usually more rounded
and appear most often in nature (irregular
in outline)
 circles, Squares, rectangles, triangles
 Seen in architecture and manufactured
item
 Leaves, seashells, flowers, etc.
 As often seen in nature
 Characteristics that are free flowing,
informal and irregular
 The surface quality of an artwork usually perceived
through the sense of touch. Texture may also be
implied. The surface quality. A rock may be rough
and jagged. A piece of silk may be soft and smooth
and your desk may feel hard and smooth. Texture
also refers to the way a picture is made to look rough
or smooth.
 See Color Theory Handout and Color
Wheel.
 Refers to the light and dark areas of a
picture.
 Value creates depth within a picture
making an object look three dimensional
(3D) with highlights and cast shadows.
 Tint: is adding white to create lighter
values such as light blue or pink.
 Shade: is adding black to create dark
values such as dark blue or dark red.
 Value Scale :is a scale that shows the
gradual change in value from its lightest
value, white to its darkest value black.
 The distance around, between, above,
below, and within an object.
 Positive Space (similar to positive shape)
 Negative Space (similar to negative
shape)
 Composition: organization of elements in
artwork
 Focal Point
