One of the most elegant compositions we can incorporate into our visual artistry: the arabesque<\/a> (curve):<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why arabesque?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The word \u00e2\u20ac\u0153arabesque<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d comes from \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Arab\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (Arabian). A lot of the elegant arabesque designs come from mostly ancient Islamic art. Think calligraphy, or elegant flowing movements:<\/p>\n

Also interesting to know, the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153arabesque\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is also a ballerina move:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Reminds me of a photo I shot of Cindy<\/a>, with a similar movement:<\/p>\n

Why arabesque composition?<\/h2>\n

Ultimately the concept of a curved arabesque comes from nature. Consider twisting vines and trees.<\/p>\n

To me, I love the composition because it is more dynamic<\/a>, full of life, energy and vigor!<\/p>\n

\n

1. Study sculpture<\/h2>\n

Note how the bodies of many dynamic statues are curved and quite epic:<\/p>\n
