False. Artists use the "elements of art" and "principles of design" because they have studied what colors, and elements make us humans feel a certain way when we look at their work. For instance, if an artist wanted people to portray sadness in his painting, he might use cool (or dark blues, blues, dark greens, greens) in his painting. The human mind has been known to have feelings of sadness when these "cool" tones are being viewed.
