Prehistoric Art

I believe that art was used to communicate before people could speak which is called preverbal which is well known as cave men . The cave men are also called nomads because they always used to follow their food and they were always prepared to move . If they did not follow their food they would have not survived during those time era.

Rhythm and Contrast

                                                             Rhythm and Contrast
The principles of art indicates movement by the repetition of the elements , visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces . 

Contrast: Technique for creating a focal paint by using differences in element


There are Five types of rhythm 
Random
Regular 
Alternating
Flowing
Progress

Lines

Lines
Implied lines are those that are suggested by the positions of shapes or objects, where as actual lines are lines that are physically present in a design.
There are 4 lines :

Line is one of the most important elements of art . It helps us see feel the arts emotions , happy , sad, exciting and etc . If there were no lines in art then there would be no art .

Value

                                        Value

An element of art, value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colors other than black, white, and a gray scale. For a great example of value in action, think of a black and white photograph. You can easily visualize how the variations of gray suggest planes and textures.

Art as a Language

Art may not be a language that  we use everyday to communicate with people.But art reveals how an artist communicates with people all over the world with or without the internet . You can see lots of famous paintings in museums  . But what was the reason behind the paintings ? Why did they make them ? What feeling did Leonardo da Vinci feel while painting the Mona Lisa ? The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci to express his love for  Mona Lisa , some believe . 

                                          Art as a Language

Art can also express how you feel by  using the elements of art and principles . The elements and principles of art are actually like a lyric to a song , notes to a musician , and a recipe to a chef . Art communicates with it's viewers with the way the lines are . Their are vertical , diagonal , horizontal ,  zigzag and curved lines . There many ways to communicate by doing the following for example  , sign language  , English , Arabic , Swedish , German, french , Spanish , art ,and etc .
