Whether an artwork is done by hand or using a computer, the elements and

What is It
Elements of Art
When a piece of art is created, you see the different elements of art applied.
You see different colors of various tones applied. Different shapes are used to
form an object. These elements are applied even when using new technologies.

Colors and Tones

Colors make a drawing or painting attractive and beautiful. But using a single
color may not be very pleasing.
Blending several colors to form a new color makes the artwork more attractive.

Blending
colors may
be done manually. There are also An orange with blended colors
computer programs that allow you to
blend color easily.

Shapes
If you look around, many objects are formed from different shapes. Even those
that you think have no regular shapes are formed from a shape. New artists
learn how to draw by using shapes first.
Look at the figures below.
