2.  Art is an act of expressing feelings, thoughts, and
observations. It is the application of human creative skill
and imagination.
 In a visual form it is defined as drawing, painting or
sculpture include photography, video, film, and design.

3.  Craft is an activity involving skill in making things by hand.
 The term crafts is often used to describe decorative arts.
 Both children and adults enjoy arts and crafts as a hobby. Children in
schools may learn skills such as carving, collage, sewing, or making
things with all sorts of materials such as wood, clay, ceramics, glass, ...

4. Art is a form of work that expresses emotions and
expressions. Craft is a form of work, which has a
physical form just like in molding and carving.
Art is known to come out of the heart and soul. Crafts
are a product of the hand and skill.
In art, it is the emotions that flow out whereas in craft no
emotion is involved.

5.  Art is everywhere. It is in the commercials we watch on
T.V., the billboards we see, and the road signs that direct us
what to do "out there", the websites we visit, the magazines
we read, and the clothes we wear. Without art.
 we would not have buildings and structures, menus in
restaurants, packaging on foods and products, or
illustrations in books and magazines. Millions of people
currently working in the visual arts.

6.  Creativity means the process of bringing something new,
original or different from others, into being.
 Art and creativity have always been closely related. For
years art programs in schools have been looking for
creativity, and often art experiences and creative activities
have meant the same thing.
 It is possible to have an art program in schools that is not
automatically creative but we have to make an effort to
make it creative.

7. Design is define as any arrangement of line, form, texture
and colour. It involves the problem of choosing these
forms and colors and then arranging them.
A good design shows an orderly arrangement of these
elements and in addition creates beauty in the end.
There are two types of design
• Structural design
• Decorative design

8. Line
Shape
Form
Space
Colour
Value
Texture

9. A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in
space Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be
horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or
thin.

13. A shape is created when a line is enclosed. It is a flat
area surrounded by edges or an outline.
Shape is one of the seven elements of art and it has a
variety of uses in the creation of art.

15.  Form also refers to an element of art that is three-
dimensional (height, width, and depth) and encloses
volume. For example, a triangle, which is two-dimensional,
is a shape, but a pyramid, which is three-dimensional, is
a form.
 Cubes, spheres, pyramids, cone, and cylinders are
examples of various forms.

17. Space refers to distances or areas around, between or
within components of a piece. Space can
be positive (white or light) or negative (black or
dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-
dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't
actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is.

20. Texture is a surface quality of an object. It deals directly
with the sense of touch. It can be rough as rocks or
smooth as silk or polished marble.

22. Value is the name given to the lightness and darkness of
tones. Value means the amount of light a surface can
reflect. White is the top end of this range and black is the
bottom. All other tones fall in between them.
Shades : shade is a colour that moves towards black.
Tints : tint is a colour that moves towards white.

24.  Color is the element of art
that is produced when light is
reflected back to the eye.

25. Colour is the result of the breakdown of white light into its
single elements by using a glass prism. These colour
elements consist of violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow,
orange and red.
We see individual colours because an object absorb some
colours and reflects others.
For example a brown table is absorb all the rays in white
light except brown. It reflect these rays back to our eye, so
we see only brown.

27. Warm colours:
 Warm colours are those which associate with sun and fire.
They are red, yellow and orange.
Cool colours:
 Cool colours are those associate with sky, sea and grass.
They are blue, greens and purples.
Neutral colours:
 Neutral colors include black, white, gray and sometimes
brown. They are sometimes called “earth tones.”

28. Primary colours:
 There are three primary
colours red, yellow and blue.
These colours cannot be
produced by mixing of other
colours, however mixtures of
them will result in nearly every
other colour.

29. Secondary colours:
 Secondary colours can be
obtained by mixing any two
primary colours in equal
amount. They are green,
violet and orange.

30. Intermediate colours:
Intermediate colours can be obtained by mixing one
primary colour and its neighbouring secondary colour in
equal amount. They stand midway between a primay
and a secondary colour.

32.  Mono means ‘one’.
Monochromatic colour scheme
is simply when we use one
colour with its tints and
shades. For example, blue
with light and dark blue.

33. The word contrast is used when describing the vast
difference between two things. For example black and
white, happy and sad.
Complementary colours are the most contrasting colours
among all others. These consist of any two colours which
are directly opposite to each other on the colour wheel.
For example red and green.
