How to tell the primary element of art in a particular piece?
I have a test tomorrow in my art appreciation course. I was reviewing the study guide and realized that I am unable to identify the primary element.
It seems like nearly all pieces contain line, shape, color, space and whatnot.
What is the difference between a line painting and a shape painting? How much space is needed for the primary element to be space?
If anyone knows of a site where I can practice identifying elements or of a place to go with several very clear examples of each, please let me know!
Any personal knowledge is also appreciated.
Please help….
