Abstract

There are some 2-D expressions based on the structures composited on mathematical order. This research shows how to use effectively such structure on expression and education of art and design. Especially, this paper focuses on relation between composition of 2-D structure using mathematical order and its visual effect.

There are three types of positional relations among the figures on the composition of structure.

1) figures are separated each other

2) figures are in contact with each other

3) figures are arranged to overlap each other

The target of the case studies is paintings and poster designs and the like from the 1930s to the present day.

The study shows that it is effective for expression based on the structure in which the figures are separated from each other to consider about arrangement and spacing of the figures for emphasizing the difference between each content or for creating optical illusion that occurs between distant element. Also the study shows that it is effective for expression based on the structure in which the figures are arranged in contact with each other to consider about figure's color and shape for emphasizing the fusion of the adjacent figures or the rhythm of tesselation by systematic operation. And also the study shows that it is effective for the expression based on the structure in which the figures are arranged to overlap each other to consider about how lines of structure are crossing or contacting or connecting for emphasizing the mathematical beauty of structure itself or for generating the unexpected shapes.
