Then again,in the 1970s up to the present, artists are no longer confined to doing
traditional arts.Instead,they started combining different art forms and media-
mixing of two or more art forms(i.e. sculpture and music) to produce one specific
artwork for an audience.Although performing arts are already existent before the
1970s,integrative arts came into being to provide individuals with the broadest
opportunities to explore a more unique and unexpected way of creating artwork.

There are seven elements of art that are
considered the building blocks of art as a
whole. The seven elements are line, color,
value, shape, form, space, and texture.

LINE- is defined as a point moving in space


where its length is greater than its width. Lines
can be two or three dimensional, implied or
abstract. Different types of lines include
continuous, broken, jagged, vertical, horizontal,
or diagonal. Lines are the foundation of
drawing.

COLOR-There are three different components to color, there is
hue which is the name we give the color (red, yellow, blue,
etc.), intensity, which refers to the vividness of the color
(intensity can also be referred to as saturation or purity), and
value meaning how dark or light a color is. Color can be used
symbolically or to produce a pattern or to show contrast in a
piece.
VALUE- Value is the lightness or darkness in color. The
lightest value is white and the darkest value is black. The
difference between values is contrast. You can study the
use of value in monochromatic or black and white pieces
of art.

SHAPE- Shape is the result of closed lines, they are two
dimensional and flat. Shapes can be geometric, such as squares
or triangles or they can be organic and not have defined
parameters and are more curved and abstract. Shapes in art can
be used to control how the viewer perceives a piece.
FORM- When shape acquires depth and becomes three
dimensional, it takes on form. Three-dimensional art
has an actual form (like in architecture) while two-
dimensional pieces can have the illusion of form when
the artist uses perspective or shading. Some common
forms are cones, pyramids, spheres, and cubes.

SPACE- Space is any area an artist creates for a specific
purpose. Space can be positive or negative. Positive space
is an area occupied by an object or form. Negative space is
the area that runs between, through, and around or within
objects. This includes background, foreground, and middle
ground. Space that can be manipulated in art based on
how an artist uses lines, shape, form, and color.
TEXTURE- Texture is how an object looks or feels.
Sometimes texture can actually felt, such as in sculpture
or the texture of work can be implied such as if you were
to sketch a sheep’s wool. Some words to describe texture
include soft, hard, rough, brittle, fluffy, or smooth.

told from his/her own perspective. Generally, this is revealed by the “I” sentence
construction and relies on first person pronouns like “I went to school today.” Oftentimes,
the reader assumes that this character is closely related to the story’s action – someone
close to the protagonist. Using this point of view provides intimacy and a deeper look
into a character’s mind.
Second Person Point of View is structured around the “you” pronoun, which allows you to
draw the reader into the story and make them feel like they are part of the action
because the narrator is speaking directly to them. This type is less common in

perspective and control what information the reader knows. It is used to build
interest and heighten suspense.
