Year 7
Formal Elements
The Formal Elements are the parts used to make a piece of artwork. The art elements are line, shape, space, form, tone, texture, pattern, and colour. They are often used together, and how they are organised in a piece of art determines what the finished piece will look like. Artists consider each of the formal elements carefully when making their artwork.
