Elements of art

• Lines, shape, form, color, space, texture,and
  value

Why the elements of art are so important

• No elements, no art, end of story.
• Secondly, knowing what the elements of art are
  enables us to (1) describe what an artist has
  done, (2) analyze what is going on in a
  particular piece and (3) communicate our thoughts
  and findings using a common language.

What is abstract art

• Abstract art is visual rather than having
  literary meaning

  developed into Fauvism
