Abstract
In this paper, we present an application of meaningful contours in visual arts. Here, after defining the meaningful circular and polygonal contour and presenting functional definitions of meaningful contour based on fuzzy thinking, we examine the grounds for deformation in the style of Expressionism, and provide a method for its understanding and learning. This view can help the method for criticizing the works of Expressionism as well as the educational methods of this style from a different perspective. It is definitely important to us that the proposed methods can maintain the individuality and individual independence of the person in the creation of the artwork based on a meaningful geometry, without involving the audience in educational stereotypes. Given the wide scope of the discussion of this style, our work is definitely describing the theoretical preliminaries in the area of fuzzy thinking and deformation, and we will provide the extensive analysis of the outstanding works of this style in the future papers and other definitions. But at the end of this paper, we will have some examples of deformation in the history of art,
