Combining+Art+and+Science

Many artists are inspired by forms that occur in nature. The unique structures and and shapes display many combinations of artistic elements including line, value, color, texture, shape and space. These structures also illustrate the principles of art such including movement, variety, unity, harmony, balance, contrast, proportion, pattern, and rhythm. It's no wonder that artists choose to incorporate these forms into their paintings, sculptures, drawings, graphic designs, and so on.
