Bell Ringer – 8/21 (You’re NOW being graded on these!) • TABLET/Smart Phone • m.socrative.com – Room 38178 • NO TABLET (or not working) • There are Bell Ringers cards on the table in the fourth box. Take 1 and answer the question on there (make sure you put your name and date!) • Turn it in to the class box. • QUESTIONS: Fill in the blank (multiple choice on devices) • 1. The two kinds of shapes are geometric and _____________. • 2. The two kinds of forms are geometric and ______________.

2. Principles of Design

3. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN • Balance • Proportion • Movement • Pattern • Repetition • Rhythm • Emphasis • Contrast • Variety • Unity

4. Balance • Arranging elements so that no one part of a work overpowers, or seems heavier than any other part • Symmetrical Balance: when both sides of an artwork, if split down the middle, appear to be the same • Does NOT have to be a mirror image! • Asymmetrical Balance: balance does not weigh equally on both sides • Radial Balance: equal in length from the middle • You’ll see a circular shape

5. Symmetrical Balance • Vitruvian Man • Leonardo da Vinci • 1487

6. Asymmetrical Balance • The Persistence of Memory • Salvador Dali • 1931

7. Radial Balance

8. Proportion • Proportion is the measurement of the size within a composition. • Certain things enlarged to show importance or make the image more realistic • Proportion creates the illusion of 3-dimensional space • Bigger things appear to be closer, smaller things appear to be farther away

9. Proportion • A Sunday on La Grande Jatte • George Seurat • 1884

10. Movement • Within the artwork: shows actions • Outside the artwork: the path the viewer's eye follows

11. Movement – Showing Action • The Crucifixation of St. Peter • Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio • 1601

12. Movement – Visual Pathway • Wheat Field Under Clouded Sky • Vincent Van Gogh • 1890

13. Pattern, Rhythm, & Repetition • Shows consistency with colors or lines • Indicates movement by the repeating elements • Makes the artwork seem active

14. Pattern, Rhythm, & Repetition • Cinquenta… Tigre Real • Salvador Dali • 1963

15. Emphasis • The part of the artwork that catches the viewer’s attention • The focal point • The area may be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc. 

16. Emphasis • Artemis • Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn • 1634

17. Contrast • Created by using elements that conflict with one another – complementary colors or extremely light and dark values • Most often used to create emphasis

18. Contrast • Three Musicians • Pablo Picasso • 1921

19. Variety • The quality or state of having different forms or types • The differences which give a design visual and conceptual interest: notable use of contrast, emphasis, difference in size and color

20. Lack of Variety

21. Unity • The wholeness that is achieved through the effective use of the elements and principles of art • Unity is the arrangement of elements and principles to create a feeling of completeness

22. Class Activity – Understand the Principles? • Each slide will present questions on one principle of design (balance, contrast, etc.) We won’t go through every one as some are easier to understand than others. • Can you describe the principles correctly? I will give you a few minutes to answer the questions on the slide and then we’ll go over them. • TABLET/SMART PHONE: m.socrative.com, room #38178 • Questions will come up one at a time, just click your answer. • It will tell you if you were right or wrong immediately • When it says WAIT FOR SLIDE please wait for the next slide before answering • NO DEVICE: pull out a piece of paper and write down your answers. • We will go over each slide once everyone’s answered the questions and you can check • These will get turned in at the end of class. • I care that they’re COMPLETE, not necessarily that you got everyone right
