Moods Creative

Mood is the atmosphere in a design, or the feeling expressed. Is the design tranquil, or is it dark and disturbing? Theme relates to the meaning of a design, rather than the subject, which is specific and basic. A theme is deeper and broader and conveys something more universal. Tone refers to the lightness or darkness of colors used, which can help to create a sense of depth or distance in art. Artists use light and dark colors to convey a mood or an emotion. Color can harmonize, or bring elements together and create a pleasing sensation, or it may clash. Finally, the composition, or the underlying structure of the design, refers to where the artist placed the subject matter.
