Why is shapes important in art? just a question to think about theres no right or wrong answers:)

I think shapes are important in art is because they can help create complex drawings or like paintings and shapes also help balance the work.

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
