Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conventions are common elements or practices found in multiple artworks or within a particular art form. They can include techniques, styles, themes, and subject matter that are widely accepted and recognized within a cultural or artistic context. Genres are also common elements found in artworks, but they refer specifically to categories or classifications of artistic expression based on shared characteristics, such as subject matter or style. Traits and formulas are not commonly used terms in art analysis, and do not accurately describe the common elements found in multiple artworks.
