 * ** The Elements of Art: Name _ **
 * ** Line ** can be thick or thin, straight or curving, broken or solid, etc.
 * ** Shape ** is a flat (two-dimensional), closed space whose borders are marked by a line (real or imaginary); it can be geometric or organic, big or small.
 * ** Form ** is a three-dimensional object and it’s often depicted using elements like value and space.
 * ** Value ** is a spectrum from light to dark. You can create images with a lot of contrast or only a little between black and white (the extremes).
 * ** Space ** is also three-dimensional and in a picture (or sculpture) it can be shallow or deep. Space can represent the imaginary 3-D space in the picture that contains objects or it could mean the “negative” space between objects.
 * If you want a new challenge, consider looking for resources about something called **perspective** and the many ways in which it can be used in art.
 * ** Colour ** can be fun to experiment with! Try using one or more and think about whether and why you want to use bold colours, earth tones, etc.
 * ** Texture ** is simply a way of visually representing how something feels to the touch (or might feel in the imagination), even if the viewer may never touch the artwork.
