|
Dynamic structural tools in art help with design organization. They provide frameworks to simplify and clarify complex or ambiguous elements so that intelligent planning can take place. These tools are unique to visual art and make up the foundations of its language. |
|
Devise ways to link parts of a design to form a coherent whole.
Make use of frameworks to explore the networks within the composition.
Determine how the dimensions of elements may be used.
Manage the progress of a design through its stages of development.
