The author states that artists “employ the visual elements of art to express themselves” in their art (26). Is it possible for an artist to not use all of the elements stated and still be able to convey his feelings to the audience? Is the lack of using all the visual elements the reason for people interpreting the same art piece differently?

Similarly, if the artist was not entirely sure of what they wanted to convey and just started working on an art piece would they unconsciously use these visual elements without even realizing?
