Abstract

Material is the means of expression and production to express ideas and feelings. There is a correlation between material, form, and artistic expression, as each element cannot be isolated in the artwork. We find that material is the basis for building complements. It is considered a medium for organizing the elements of form, starting with the idea and ending with the expression of the work in its final form.

    The idea of combining sustainable development differs from development in several basic aspects. The idea of sustainable development is based on a number of basic points. It is the basis for designing artistic complements to give them value. Combining with materials connects people to the surrounding environment, including different materials in terms of colors, shapes, and textures. Combining more than one material produces new aesthetic complements with a creative form and artistic value.
