Homework Help: Art

I am suppose to look at the sculpture Madonna and Child within an Arch by Donatello. I am suppose to say what elements of art are used in this sculpture. The elements of art in case you don't know are form texture color shape line and value.
I said this sculpture has form, texture, and line. I just want to make sure i am right, and if i left any out. The color looks bronze to me, so i don't even know if that's considered a color. I think they mean color if it has more than one? I am not sure. Also i don't think it has value, because I don't see light and dark shades.

Bronze is its own medium, and has its own color, but you're right that there are no other colors. Color is not an issue here.

This is a bronze relief. There are definitely light and dark shades. That's one reason why artists created reliefs.

And think about the combination of architecture with a type of portrait.
