Visual Grammar









Abstract Objects
Abstract objects are ideal shapes that cannot be physically created. When you try to draw a point, for example, you do not end up with a point but with a surface.

Concrete Objects
Objects are perceived within defined limits. These limits are called contour lines. The contour is what defines the shape, or form.

Activities
Visual reproductions are static. What can be perceived as an activity, is a static representation or a sequence that creates an illusion of activity.

Relations
Visual objects in a composition relate to the viewer, the format, and other elements within the composition.
