VISUAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE IMAGES
These can be defined by:
1. MATERIALS
Materials which we work withrequire a specific technique andtools.
This technique allows us todifferentiate between images withthe same subject. Within theHistory of Art, artists haverepresented the same subject butuse a different technique.
So we must try to analyze the technique an art workhas been made with.
Even when using the same technique, the result canbe very different because it also depends on theartists personality.
So technique and materials used are importantelements.

2. VISUAL ELEMENTS
These are: dot, point, line, plane, colour, texture, volume etc and they are used when we createimages. So it is very important to describe the visual elements that have been used on an image.Every artist uses visual elements in a personal way, giving a unique character to the representation.

3. THE MEANINGS ( seen at the following unit).
4. ESPATIAL ORGANIZATION
To make an image is to place visual elements on a 2D space such as paper, canvas, fabric, woodetc according to a determined idea or communicative intention.
PLANS (ESQUEMA) OF COMPOSITION
this is the main group of lines which organizes and distributes the elements onto a chosen space to form animage. Generally the tracing is made up with:
-Geometric figures: polygons, circles, ovals-Straight lines, curve or complex lines.-Simple or complex modular nets.
A plan of composition can be simple or complex depending on the amount of lines that it has.
TYPES OF PLANS OF COMPOSITION
A. SIMPLE PLAN
Generally they are made of a geometric shape, a line, or a combination of these.

B. COMPLEX PLANS
This type of plan is made up of atleast two simple plans or group oflines freely combined. Sometimes itis very difficult to determine thecomposition of an art work becauseof the large amount of directions,and movement suggested by theelements. But with a watchful eye itis possible to discover thesuperimposition of the plan.

THE RHYTHM OF THE VISUAL COMPOSITION
The rhythmic succession of the shapes which integrate a movement it is called visual rhythm. It is possibleto set the following classification of rhythms:
-According to the shape: rectilinear, curve and undulate.-According to the way the elements have been arranged: continuous or discontinuous.

EXPRESSIVENESS OF THE RHYTHMS
Every type of rhythm gives an expressive and concretecharacter to artistic compositions.
-Rectilinear rhythm creates a visual effect of order andseriousness.
-Zigzag rhythm is used to express nervousness,dynamism or even aggressiveness.
-Curvilinear rhythm strengthens the effect of a softmovement.
-Continuous rhythm results in monotony.
-Discontinuous rhythms are used to express freedom ofmovement.
-Increasing rhythms enlarge the visual effect of depth.

THE VISUAL BALANCE
Visual compositions are determined by the of weight and visual strengths/forces which are the shapesand colours that focus or attention.
When the visual elements are displayed at both sides of an axis, the balance is symmetric or stable andan effect of order is shown.
When the number of elements is different at both sides of the axis, every field of the composition has adifferent visual force so the balance is asymmetric or unstable and an effect of vitality is shown.

LAW OF SCALES
This is a method used to balancethe visual weights of acomposition of unstable balance.It consist of distributing colours,sizes and structures so that oureyes will be attracted with thesame intensity by the two visualfields placed both sides of theimaginary axis. So, that is whythe greater visual weight is placedclose to the central axis and the minor farfrom it.
LAW OF THIRDS
this is a procedure used often in graphic design and on adverts to balance the visual weights on therectangular sizes. It consisted of dividing the size chosen into three parts lengthways and into threeparts widthways. The zones which exert more attraction or visual weight are on the intersections of thelines.

DIVISIONS DERIVED FROM THE GOLDEN RECTANGLE
There exist other divisions that allow us to position centres of force in order to balance a compositionwith the ones coming from the golden rectangle and others rectangles derived from that.
