The last element of art is the expression of an idea in a concrete form on the plane of matter. What the artist has thought takes form in art. This is *Śabda* for poetry and *Rūpa* for visual arts. Sculpture, painting, architecture, etc. have their several media, but they are similar in being concrete symbols of ideas. Their language is direct, making an appeal to the mind through the senses.
