7.4 Summary

You've now reached the end of this section which contains a number of new technical terms. As a result, you should be developing your understanding of the way artists might use techniques such as colour, medium and the various elements of composition in order to achieve a variety of effects on the spectator. In the next section you'll begin to consider how the techniques and effects points of the Study Diamond can be related to the transmission of a possible meaning, and whether information about the context of an art work can enhance your analysis.
