Elements of Art
There
are building tools to use to make art: Color, Line, Shape, Texture, Space and Form.
Color
ROY is hot, G. BIV is not! Red, Orange, and Yellow are warm colors and Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet are Cool colors.
Primary is a color family that includes red, yellow and blue. These colors make all other colors.
Secondary is a color family that includes orange, green and violet.
Line
The Straight line family includes math lines like horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. But also lines like zig-zag, toothed and crooked.
The Curved line family includes lines like arched, bumpy, wiggly, curly, squiggly, spiral, swirl, and dotted.
However, lines can be geometric and organic like shapes. Lines can also expressive, or showing emotions like bold, and playful.

Shape
The Geometric shape family includes the math shapes: square, circle, rectangle, oval, diamond (rumbis), and triangle.
The Free Form shape family includes shapes that are imaginary, without names, and might remind you of something.
The Organic shape family are shapes from nature- a leaf, or a flower.

Texture
Texture is how something feels when you touch it or the way something looks like it feels.
Space
Positive Space, is the thing you are drawing. Negative Space, is the area around the thing you are drawing.
Background, Middle Ground and Foreground are used to make a picture look like it has depth, or goes back in space, while still being on a flat piece of paper.
The background is way in the back of your picture where things are small because they are 'far away.'
Middle ground is in the middle of the picture, where things are mid-sized and have a little more detail.
Foreground is very close to you, large, with lots of details.
