This song is available on "Rappin' Clappin' Singin' About Art."

The Elements of Art are what you can use in sketching, painting,
Or whatever you choose.  
Lines are basic to all that you draw.  
Thin, bold, jagged, straight, short, curved, or long.

Chorus:  
Line and shape, color, form, value, texture, then there's space.
Line and shape, color, form, value, texture, then there's space.

Shapes can be organic-irregular, geometric, or three-dimensional.  
Colors can be cool, warm, dull, or bright.  
A form is any object you can see from many sides.

Chorus

(Spoken):  
Line, shape, color, form, value, texture, space.
Line, shape, color, form, value, texture, space.
Line, shape, color, form, value, texture, space.

Chorus

Value is lightness or darkness of a hue.  
Textures can be bumpy, rough, shiny, soft or smooth.  
Artists create space in varying degrees: decorative, shallow, flat, infinite and deep.

Chorus
