Elements in use

Throughout further studies into my research I found how there are 7 elements of art, which are a vital importance of building up a composition. They are mostly known as: Line, Form, Shape, Texture, Tone, Colour and pattern.  However without the use of formal elements or their existence, art as we know it could not have been known.

 I came to the conclusion to see how art is a well-known factor on how a person/artist is allowed to express himself by the use of formal elements. Therefore with the use of line, shape, form, tone, texture, pattern, and colour, the artist will be able to define his ideas and thoughts well by giving an indication of; Movement, feelings / expressions, geometrical / negative shapes, tone, perspective throughout 2D work, 3D work, Highlights, shadows, contrast, surface quality, repetition, primary / secondary colours and colour schemes.

They all work together as a big sum because everything fits together like a big puzzle; if you remove something, another section won’t work out well. It is said that when the person has a good understanding of the elements, he will be able to create any artwork he wants from painting with oils to sculpting in clay, stone, wood etc… But how many of them were used for the artist’s reflection and by this does it still have the connection on how the brain and eyes work together which depicts out the idea?
