This famous painting Water Lilies by Claude Monet shows varieties of principals of design. A painting or photograph is a beautiful form to show its true meaning of what's being shown but at the same time catches your attention. Colour to me is the main element to design because you have to start off with what mood/scene you're dealing with (natural, abstract, geometric) then work from there. Natural/real paintings catch my attention because it emphasizes the colours and gives it a real life look by the depth and mood being shown. Art is beauty and talent within which leads to many hidden stories within each art piece.
