Principles of Design

Emphasis: the focus-main idea-what “grabs” your attention within the work of art

Unity & Variety: unity is using different formal elements in a work of art that works together

Balance: how the weight of the elements are placed with the composition such as

symmetrical balance/when the weight of the elements are evenly placed within the art work

asymmetrical balance/when the weight of the elements are not evenly placed within the art work

bi-lateral balance/when the weight of the elements are evenly place,but there is a small difference of how the weight is distributed

absolute balance/when the weight are is evenly distributed/mirror image

radial/balance from the center of the composition

Rhythm & Movement: a repetition of the element(s)s that creates a sense of movement/rhythm

Proportion:  the size/relationship between two or more objects….propotion is use to change the preception of the viewer…
