6. What do you think all these works have in common? Explain why.
The plane is an element of visual language that we use to draw shapes.
True A plane’s colour helps us identify the objects and forms we create.
Size can’t make a plane more important or less important.
We can define the plane as the area of a surface within a closed line.
A plane becomes an element when we use it to build an image.
Some works of art use only planes.
There are two types of planes: geometric planes and organic planes.
We can’t separate areas of light and darkness by placing lighter planes next to darker ones.
Planes are defined by the shape of the closed line.
