Elements of art continued
This document discusses different elements of art including shapes, textures, and color. It describes two categories of shapes - geometric shapes seen in architecture and manufactured items, and organic shapes seen in nature that are free-flowing and irregular. There are three categories of textures: actual textures using textured objects or materials, visual textures that look real but are not, and invented textures created by the artist. The document also outlines the primary, secondary, and intermediate colors and the three properties of color: hue, intensity, and value.

- 3. Categories of Texture ActualTexture • The application of textured objects to the surface of an artwork, or the creation of art from textured materials • Texture can be created by carving, incising or scratching into a surface Visual /Simulated Texture • Visual texture so realistic that it fools the eye into believing it is reality. • The visual sensation of texture on a non-textured surface. Simulated textures are created by the manipulation of lights and shadows, line, rhythm and other visual elements.
- 4. Invented textures • Inventedtextures are the creation of the artist/designer. They are made up for expressive or decorative purposes and are not the representation of or abstractions from actual textures.

For example, we may describe the colour blue as "royal" (bright, rich, vibrant) or "dull" (greyed). • The third and final property of colour is its value, meaning its lightness or darkness. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colours.
