...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...
