Color

 COLOR is the general term which we use to describe every hue, tint, tone, or saturation we see. 

    Hue is root color without adding tint, tone, or shade. And it normally exist only in the color wheel.

    Color scheme: 

• Monochromatic: They use only one hue but variety in term of tint, shade, and saturation.

• Analogous: They use only the color which are next to each other in the color wheel. 

• Complementary: They use opposite color in the color wheel to make something stand out. 

• Triadic: They use the color which are equal space around the color wheel. Tend to be quite vibrant.

Tone

    The tone can either give a bright, hopeful, vibrant, healthy impression, as well as sensual, angry, or intense. It will contribute to the overall mood of the work. Tone
give emotion to the image. Bright tone gives life and energy; in contrast, dark tone give mystery, dangerous. Yellow is light. Blue is dark.

Figure 1

Figure 2

    In Figure 2, the tone is light or washed out, which gives it an airy, spring feel. The room feels spotless, breezy, open, fresh, uncluttered, and ripe for something to enter. 

    In contrast this figure 1 with dark tones feels eerie, mysterious, haunted, fearful with hidden dangers, heavy, damp, and cold. It primarily evokes a sense of mystery and fear. 

Texture

     Texture is parts of the surface which can be felt or seen. It can be rough, smooth, spiky, soft, velvety, regular, and irregular.

    Texture can be used to attract or repel interest to an element, depending on how pleasant the texture is perceived to be.

     And there are two type of texture: 

Visual

Tactile 

• Tactile texture : refer to the physical three dimensional texture of an object. It can be perceived by the sense of touch.
• Visual texture : it can be perceived by our sense of sign. It is the illusion of real texture on a two dimensional surface.

Space

    Space is artist’s decision on where to place objects on the canvas versus how much room to give to non-essential, background elements. 

    They use space to show the illusion of depth by: 

• Size and Vertical location: We perceives object that are higher and smaller on the page as being further away. 
• Overlapping: When an object partially obscured by another object in front of them, we perceive them as farther away. 
• Detail: Objects which are farther away are blur. 
• Linear Perspective: a lot of lines point to one point.

Form

    Form is a three-dimensional object with volume of height, width and depth. These objects include cubes, spheres and cylinders. Form is often used when referring to physical works of art, like sculptures, as form is connected most closely with three-dimensional works.

Organic

Geometric

     When a shape acquires depth and becomes three-dimensional, then it takes on form. For example a circle is a shape. Corresponding forms can be cylinders and spheres. A triangle is a shape which can be a pyramid as a form. In addition to geometric forms, there can also be amorphous forms.

Shape

    The simplest definition of shape is a closed contour. Shapes made when line start from one point and arrive at starting point. A shape is created anytime a point is started and a line continues until it re-connects to that starting point. 

    Shape can be color, tone, and texture. They use it to demonstrate appearance of something.

    Shapes can be classified as either organic or geometric. 

• Geometric shapes are the ones you are familiar with, such as circles, squares, and triangles. 
• Organic shapes do not fit any specific geometric shape as they are freeform, much like a fungus or algae in nature.

Line

    Line is an element of art define by two essential term such as length, and direction. it is a point moving in space.

There are different lines such as: 

• Vertical line show height and strength seem unshakeable. 
• Horizontal line show width, distance, calmness, and stability. 
• Diagonal line show movement or lack of stability. 
• Zig zag line show action, excitement, restlessness, and anxiety. 
• Curve line show feeling comfort, and ease.
