SOLUTION(EV3(<<'END_SOLUTION'));

$PAR SOLUTION $PAR

1) Value is an element of art that refers to lightness and darkness in an artwork.  White is the lightest value; black is the darkest. The value halfway between these extremes is called middle gray. 

$BR

$BR

2) Space is an element of art that refers the distance or area between, around, or within things. Space is an area that an artist provides for a particular purpose. Space includes the background, foreground and middle ground.  There are two kinds of space: negative space and positive space.

$BR

$BR

3)  The element or art that refers to the tactile qualities, either actual or implied, is texture.  Artists might depict texture, such as flowing hair, on a flat surface, or they might use the texture of paint or other media to create a tactile texture on the surface as well.

$BR

$BR

4)  Shape may be geometric or organic.  Geometric shapes are precise and regular, like squares, rectangles, and triangles. They are often found in human-made things, like buildings and machines while organic shapes are found in nature. These shapes may look like leaves, flowers, clouds—things that grow, flow, and move. 

$BR

$BR

5)  The statement "All good works of art will demonstrate all the elements of art" is false.  Think of the elements of art as ingredients; just as good food does not require all possible ingredients and the chef will pick and choose, the artist will choose some elements but not others.
