Abstract

Art has a strong connection to nature, with artists using elements and materials found in the natural world. Artists shouldn't attribute artistic creation solely to themselves, as it is a collection or arrangement of what they observe or already exists in their subconscious. The environment, including the natural and social aspects, influences artists and enhances their sensory perceptions. An artist's culture and understanding of their relationship with the environment play a crucial role in their artistic expression. Light has aesthetic dimensions and affects the perception of texture, depth, and mood in artworks. Color is also significant, influencing the expressive state of the artwork. Light and color help achieve balance, rhythm, unity, spatial depth, and dramatic expression in a work of art. Nature serves as a major source of inspiration for artists, and the relationship between art and nature is interconnected.
