For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces, an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles.”

This principle refers to the distribution of the visual elements in view of their placement in relation to each other.

Proportion can be:

there is a sense of predictability that is conveyed, which in turn imbues the feelings of security and calmness.

It refers to the direction of the viewing eye as it goes through the artwork, often guided by areas or elements that are emphasized. These focal points can be lines, edges, shape, and color within the work of art, among others.

There are three types of perspective, grounded on the number of vanishing points used by the artist:

It also implies art that is made by living artists, but essentially _____is seen as something that has never been done before.

is the size of the components, or of objects in relation to one another when taken as a composition or a unit.

Often, this is used by artists to create the illusion of depth and solidity, a particular mood, communicate a feeling, or in establishing a scene (day and night)

There are three forms of balance:

in this type of perspective, the viewer is looking at a scene from above or below. As the name suggests, it makes use of the three vanishing points, each corresponding to each axis of the scene.

To enumerate, the elements of art and design are the following:

most common to those that follow canons of perfection, the sizerelations of elements or objects, which achieve the most ideal size-relations.

It is usually inferred from a sense of depth, whether it is real or simulated.
