:earth: The Five elements by MarktArt The Five Elements by MarktArt :earth:

*The concept of Art inspiring Art has to start somewhere*

What inspires you to create? The elements play quite a big, if often unnoticed, factor in design and creations. Ancient concepts of energy from nature have influenced many forms of art. Everyone is affected by them and reacts in various ways.

Inspired by the Chinese Five Elements (Wu Xing) We will in this group let the elements be the source of inspiration, from which to begin the cycle of ART INSPIRING ART.

“It's not where you take things from — it's where you take them to.”

*Jean-Luc Godard

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Five elements is a fivefold conceptual scheme that many traditional Chinese fields used to explain a wide array of phenomena, from cosmic cycles to the interaction between internal organs, and from the succession of political regimes to the properties of medicinal drugs.

The Five Elements are:

:earth: Wood:
Bringing forth the feeling of spring, growth and life in general, wood can be sturdy and stable, but also used as a spear. The energy is expansive and versatile, emerging in things of a green hue and all flora.

:earth: Fire:
Warmth, light, and destruction all come from fire. The element can be manipulated to stand for honor and passion, while negatively portrayed as a symbol of war and anger. Representatives of fire include the color red, sharp angles, and light.

:earth: Earth:
The Earth is from where all things grow, and eventually return. It emanates perseverance, practicality, and support. The colors orange, brown, and yellow are associated with it; Earthy materials, such as clay and stone also represent the element.

:earth: Metal:
Symbolizing strength and solidity, metal can be used as a beautiful and precious commodity. On the other hand, it suggests destruction and danger, especially when used as a weapon. White, gray, silver, and gold are associated colors.

:earth: Water:
Water can come in the form of a storm or that of gentle rain. It can be transferred through the colors blue and black, mirrors and other glass, and a general meandering form.
