Texture- the "feel" of some thing that the eye will recognize as something tangable (feelable).

Answer 4

The meanings.....all of them, even the "actual art meanings" are in the dictionary. Look one up...if it isn't what you want, then define the others according to your perception of the "art" meaning.
I found this for value:
a. degree of lightness or darkness in a color.
b. the relation of light and shade in a painting, drawing, or the like.
Since that is correct, I am sure you can find the others.

Answer 5

colour- the element of art that is derived from reflected light.

line- a mark created by moving a point along in one direction.

value- the measure by which a work of art is viewed to be successful or meaningful, worthy of being studied.

shape-an object represented in two dimensions.

texture-an element of art wich refers to how a surface feels or looks like it would feel.
