art that does not portray figures or objects; art without real models or subject ... on formal elements (the visual elements, design principles) to carry its message ... elements, such as a line, shape, color, texture, that are used by artists to create imagery ... using a series of closely spaced parallel lines to achieve a similar effect.
"In the visual arts—in particular painting, graphic design, photography, and sculpture—composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work."
does this make sense? if not, I can reword it. are there specific options to choose from (multiple choice or something)?
