Artistic appreciation is conceived as a process in which a unique

and original work with certain attributes and different types of

spectators in search of evaluations, meaningful experiences and
meanings are involved.

A deeper perspective of the phenomenon of art appreciation

leads us to consider that both the artistic work and the
spectators or public are immersed in a culture that conditions
the modes of expression and appreciation of the arts.

They integrate the set of elements of artistic appreciation , a

spectator motivated to a symbolic appropriation of the work.
And of course, the work : A form of expression determined in
principle by certain rules or conventions at the service of a
communicative and/or expressive intention that the viewer will
build based on their knowledge and sensitivity .

Expressive qualities
Each person has different qualities or points of view that
influence the way they see the world, it is also affected by
various factors such as the climate, time or simply their
state of mind since for a sad person and at that moment
negative a painting of rain to a positive one that sees it as
a sign of life and prosperity.

Substance is the theme that the artist tries to

communicate; your conception or your dream, the aspects
of life that you want to highlight or express, the emotions,
feelings, moods or ideas that you would like to share with
your audience. The artistic value of this substance is
measured by its originality, its truth, its imaginative quality
and its sincerity.

Form is used to project or convey these feelings or ideas.

Only through a certain form can the substance be
projected. This can be a poem, a story, a dance, a drama
or play, or any type of artistic expression.
The form constitutes the tangible product of the artist.
Form includes certain rules, formulas, guidelines,
conventions or schemes, whichever term we select, history
has shown many times that the conventions of a form
change and that rules or principles should not limit art:
although each art constantly creates rules.

Technique is the third element, which consists of

adjusting or combining substance and form. It constitutes
the artist's personal method to achieve his goal and
involves the selection and arrangement of his materials to
achieve a specific effect. Technique is also the element that
distinguishes the work of one artist from another; It is
often called his or her personal style or quality, because it
is, in essence, the artist's self-projection. For example,
cinema, theater and television are very similar in terms of
their substance and form, but they vary greatly in their
technique.

The ultimate purpose of all art is to transmit the artist's

ideas or emotions: Produce aesthetic pleasure and help us
understand life.

Beginning
Variety: Variety (also known as alternation) is the quality
or state of having different forms or types. The differences
that give a visual and conceptual design interest: in
particular the use of contrast, emphasis, difference in size
and color.

Balance: Balance is the organization of elements so that

nothing dominates part of a job, or appears heavier than
any other part. The three different types of balance are
symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial. Symmetrical (or
formal), balance is when both parts of a work of art , if
divided in half, appear to be the same. The human body is
an example of symmetrical balance.

Contrast: In a work of art by combining elements to

create interest. Contrast helps us differentiate one shape
from another, it is the most important design element since
without it one thing would not be distinguished from
another. Contrast can be given by color, shape, texture,
size, etc. In every work of art there is a background and a
figure, so contrast is the main design element

Proportion: Proportion is a measure of the size and

number of elements within a composition. In ancient arts,
the proportions of shapes were enlarged to show their
importance. This is why Egyptian gods and political figures
appear much larger than ordinary people.
Pattern/rhythm: The pattern and rhythm (also known as
repetition ) shows consistency with colors or lines. Putting a
red spiral at the bottom left and top right, for example, will
cause the eye to move from one spiral, to the other, and
everything in between. Movement is indicated by the
repetition of elements. Rhythm can make a work of art
seem active.
