Works of art may express human values, feelings
and dynamic states. We derive meaning from these works based upon our
perceptions of the sensory, formal and technical properties of the work
and from our own experiences. We learn to identify how the artist used
the aesthetic elements to give the art expression. In architecture,
we search for the mood or metaphor expressed by the architectural design.
Broudy suggests that when the Sensory, Formal and Technical elements
of design are combined, they give expression to a work of art that can
be explained using the language of human emotion. Expressive Elements
are those that give a structure the appearance of having a mood, emotional
state, character, or dynamic qualities. |
