Art as a Language

 Something that I learned from ArtTalk is that you can express how you feel through art, art is known as a language to many, so it is like talking about your feelings using the elements of art, which are line, shape and form, space, colour, and texture. Elements of art are also known as basic visual symbols in the language of art. Art work should include at least one or more of these element, all art will have one element no matter what. Sometimes an artist will plan on only using a few elements but will most likely having all or most of the elements being used. The way the elements of art are organized is by the principals of art. The principals of art help create special effects in a work of art. The principals include rhythm, movement, balance, proportion, variety, emphasis, harmony, and unity.  In a work of art there are three basic features, which include subject, composition, and content. The subject is known as what the viewer can easily see in the work of art. The composition is the way the principals of art are organized. The content is the message that the work communicates.

The credit line is a list of important facts about the art. Most or all credit lines should have six facts which include: name, title, year, medium, size, location. These are just somethings that all works of art should include.
