I took my camera out this morning to look more deeply into the language of art and how it works through nature.
My beginning thoughts were that art speaks through the following:
Line, texture, form and colour.
And while this is true, these lines and forms easily begin to form patterns
And layers
Framing, focus, perspective and space are then key to drawing out these raw elements and creating a story.
So what began as a search for the elements that make up the language of art, quickly becomes a collaboration with nature to discover, search for and create art.
And of course the composition draws from the inherent pattern in nature: the fibonnaci spiral:
So it would seem that art speaks, in collaboration with nature in this instance. And the building blocks of it's language are: line, texture, form, colour, pattern, perspective, layers, space and composition.
