Two dimensional. Shapes can be geometric like squares, triangles, circles. Shapes can be organic and irregular in outline like shapes found in nature. Value: The darkness or lightness of a surface. Value can be used to create the illusion of form by shading. Texture: The way a surface looks or feels. Visual texture or tactile texture. Space: The empty open area around or within an object.
