Art can be analyzed
in a variety of ways. One of the more interesting approaches breaks a piece of art down into its specific artistic elements. Lines, for example, makeup both the
boundaries of a piece of art and its internal components. Lines come in a variety of weights and a variety of orientations. They interconnect with other elements of
the art and, in fact, form many of those elements. Lines, for example, often interconnect to form shapes. Shapes, however, can also be composed simply of color with
no associated lines. The relationship between lines and color often determine mass. Vectors, in turn, can be described as the individual objects that make up a piece, individual
objects that are potentially very ordered and specifically oriented. Vectors can be rotated, and scaled independently. Consequently, they often have considerable implications in regard to both construction and
meaning. Each of these elementary artistic components can be found in all levels of art. Every artist from the preschooler to the professional utilizes line, shape, color, mass,
and vector. To illustrate the importance of each of the above elements it is helpful to first analyze them in their
most basic manifestations. Where better to find such a basic utilization than in the art of young children? Figure A (reproduced from http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hepg/artsasepistemology.html), for example, is a drawing
by a young child who was studying insects in his classroom. It might be contended that his use of line, shape, color, mass, and vector allow us insight into
