The seven elements of art are line, shape, form, space, texture, color, and value. Space refers to the area around, above, and within objects and is important for creating a sense of depth rather than a flat appearance. Creating space can be accomplished simply through techniques such as overlapping objects and using size difference. Texture describes how an object's surface might feel to the touch or look like it would feel. Understanding texture leads to stronger drawings and paintings.
