How Do Artists Convey Style?

Artists convey style in their art with 5 different ways. The most obvious of all is what the art is about. What the art is about tells people a lot about what the artist is trying to convey through their art because it tells people what it is all about and what the audience should look for in the art. The second part of conveying style is that if the art is suppose to be realistic or nonrealistic or a combination of both. Being realistic means that the art uses real life element and attributes such as a portrait of a person or an event. Nonrealistic might be the portrait of scenes that defies physics and drawing of impossible images or of supernatural events or beings. The third part is the actual drawing of the artist. The use of color, light color is more optimistic and warm and dark color is more pessimistic and cold. Then, does the author uses more curve lines or straight lines. Also, there are different type of art. Religious art, impressionism, abstract art, and many other kind. Light and shadow also contributes to a writer's style. However, light and shadow are more related to the subject and how the art should look like to convey a point and to be logical according to logic. However, extra lighting and shadows on unnecessary spaces and with inappropriate places to spotlight some important aspects might be a way artist convey style. Take the painting on  page 409 for example. It's an illustration of the sinking of the Titanic. The purpose of this painting is probably to tell that there are people on half filled life boats just watching as people die in front of them but they are too scared to rescue them. The scene is dark because it was at night but it might also be because the author is portraying a dark side of people and that's another reason why he used dark color and only vivid light from the Titanic. It is a realistic painting and the author might use the style of realistic more often because the titanic and the people are quite realistic without any trace of unrealistic aspects.
