Principles of Design

  1. Balance - is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are 3 different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radia.
    • 2.Contrast - created by using elements that conflict with one another, and it is often created using complementary colors or extremely light & dark values.



      3.Emphasis - The focal area of an artwork that gives it importance.

       

      4.Movement - means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of edges, shapes, and colors that often lead to the focal areas. It is a visual flow through the composition.
       
       5.Pattern - is when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again. 



      6. Rhythm - is the repetition of shapes, lines and forms, it is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. 


      7. Unity - means that all the elements in artwork are in harmony.
