Innocence in the Divine Image by Blake Blake was both a poet and an artist and created many enlightened works that combined the two. These forms, each powerful in their own right, are even more so when used together as in "The Divine Image." In analyzing this piece I will examine the elements and principles of art, the corresponding "elements and principles" of poetry, and how they support each other to convey William Blake's idea of ​​Innocence. Elements are the basic building blocks used in art or poetry. In art they are line, shape/form, value, texture, color (which I couldn't deal with in this case because the only reproduction was in black and white) and space. In poetry one might classify elements as word choice, word placement, scansion or meter, capitalization, and punctuation. Principles are what is produced by putting elements together. In art they are focal point, movement, subordinate area (background or setting), contrast and repetition. Interestingly, in poetry many are similar, namely movement, contrast and repetition. Other things that might be classified as principles of poetry are rhyme, line treatment, and tone. Of all the elements of art I will cover, line and form are by far the most important. All the figures are outlined and the vines running across the image make up the line as well as the letters. The line is also essential in creating value since it was printed on a printing press and all ink has the same value. To create changes in value Blake used different densities and numbers of lines. The only plot in this work is a kind of implicit plot that comes from the creation of value through the construction of lines; some areas tend to acquire a dimpled appearance. The use of... medium of paper... contrast between life and fire but neither the vine nor the figures are worn out. This presents an image of innocence similar to that of the Lion and the Lamb. Both the poem and the image serve to reinforce each other while presenting the freedom, harmony, and security found in the state of Innocence. It seems fitting that these together are called Enlightenment as they help shed light on Blake's true meaning. Works Cited and Consulted Blake, William. Songs of innocence and experience.
