Cross-Topic Connections
📋 What it is
Art skills connect — the elements feed the principles, colour theory serves composition, and every field reuses the basics.
🗣️ Coach says
Everything you learn stacks. The elements feed the principles; colour theory powers your composition; a UI designer uses the same balance a painter does. Master the basics and every field of art opens up. It’s all one language.
🧠 Memory hook
It all stacks — elements → principles → every field. One visual language.

😲 Whoa!
A skill like understanding contrast helps a painter, a photographer, a UI designer and an animator all at once.
