==Description==
In [[fiction]], '''style''' is the codified [[gestures]], in which the [[author]] tells the [[story]]. Along with plot, character, [[theme]], and setting, style is considered one of the fundamental [[components]] of fiction.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_%28fiction%29]
In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_arts visual arts], style is a "...distinctive [[manner]] which permits the grouping of works into related categories." or "...any distinctive, and therefore recognizable, way in which an [[act]] is performed or an [[artifact]] made or ought to be performed and made." It refers to the [[visual]] appearance of a work of art that relates it to other works by the same artist or one from the same period, [[training]], location, "[[school]]" or art movement. In critical [[analysis]] of the visual arts, the style of a work of art is often treated as distinct from its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iconography iconography], which covers the subject and the [[content]] of the work.
By changing the way they paint, apply colour, texture, [[perspective]], or the way they see shapes and [[ideas]], the artist establishes a certain set of "rules". If other artists see the rules as valid for themselves they might also apply these characteristics. The works of art then take on that specific "style". An artist may give the style a name such as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expressionism Expressionism]", or a name may be applied later, as in the case of "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_art abstract art]". The names of many styles are the [[invention]] of art historians and would not have been [[understood]] by the practitioners of those styles. Some originated as terms of derision, including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_style Gothic], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque Baroque], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rococo Rococo] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoclassical_style Neoclassical].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Style_%28visual_arts%29]
