3. The Principles of Design

4. Balance Principle of Design concerned with equalizing visual forces, or elements, in a work of art. If a work has visual balance, the viewer feels that the elements have been arranged in a satisfying way.

5. Symmetry Equal on both sides

6. Asymmetry Unequal on both sides – adds visual appeal

7. Radial Balance Rotates around a radius

8. Approximate Symmetry • Paintings can be close to symmetrical and still be balanced – the result is a more interesting work. • How does the painting here achieve approximate symmetry?

9. Repetition Technique for creating rhythm and unity in which a small idea or single element appears again and again.

10. Rhythm The Principle of Design that indicates movement by the repetition of elements or objects. Visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces.

11. Pattern The Principle of Design that refers to a two-dimensional decorative visual repetition. A pattern has no movement and may or may not have a rhythm.

12. Types of Rhythm & Pattern

13. Random • Motif (the unit that is repeated in visual pattern) • Motif repeated in no apparent pattern, with no regular spaces.

14. Regular • Identical beats or motifs with equal amounts of space between them.

15. Alternating • Add a second beat or motif • Change placement or content of original motif • Change spaces between beats or motifs

16. Flowing • Repeating wavy lines

17. Progressive . Change in the beat each time it is repeated – a steady change with the beat different each time it appears

18. Contrast Technique for creating a focal point by using differences in elements.

19. Movement The Principle of Design used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide the viewer’s eyes throughout the work of art.

20. Emphasis Principle of Design that makes one part of a work dominant over the other parts.

21. Emphasis Cont. • Focal point – The first part of a work that attracts your eye • Harmony – Creating unity by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts

22. Proportion Principle of Design concerned with the size relationships of one part to another.

23. Proportion Cont. Artists can also use exaggeration, distortion and scale

24. Variety How artists add interest to works of art, designs, advertisements, etc. Transition – moves the eye from one part to another Gradation – shading of colors that create a sense of space or distance

25. Unity The principle of design associated with the arrangement of the elements of art to create a coherent whole Combination of similar colors, lines, shapes, etc.

26. Just to review…the ten principles of design John Constable, View on the Stour Near Dedham, 1822.  Oil on canvas, 51 x 74 inches Balance Repetition Pattern Contrast Rhythm Movement Emphasis Proportion Variety Unity
