ARTS 100 Week 2 Individual Assignment How the Visual Arts Communicate

We use language in expressive ways to underscore our meaning when we speak. The arts also
have their own language used by artists and performers in a variety of unique and expressive
ways. The language of the visual arts includes elements of composition such as line, color, form,
and repetition. Visual artists use each of these elements and many other factors of composition
to create unique works. Learning the language of the arts is one way of gaining a deeper
understanding of the ideas that exist in a painting, a sculpture, or a work of architecture.

What is it that we communicate when we speak to one another? Often, we share stories, ideas,
or just how we are feeling. The arts use their own language in a similar way to share ideas and
the values that are important to the society in which the artwork was made.
