PRINCIPLES OF ART
Proportion
Variety
Harmony
Rhythm
Balance
Movement
Dominance/emphasis
Harmony
is the visually satisfying effect of combining similar, related elements.
emphasizing specific elements of art to connect the whole work of art.
Balance
A feeling of equality in weight, attention, or attraction of the various visual elements within the pictorial field as a means of accomplishing organic unity.
Types of balance
Symmetry
Approximately symmetry
Radial symmetry
Asymmetry
Symmetry
A form of balance achieved by the use of identical balance compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.
Approximate Symmetry
A form of balance achieved by the use of similarly balanced compositional units on either side of a vertical axis within the picture plane.
Radial Symmetry:
A form of balance than is even, radiating out from a central points to all four quadrants of the shape’s constraining plane.
Asymmetry
A form of balance attained when the visual units on balance either side of a vertical axis are not identical but are placed in positions within the picture plane so as to create a “felt” equilibrium of the total form concept.
Proportion
is the comparison of dimensions or distribution of forms. It is the relationship in scale between one element and another, or between a whole object and one of its parts. Differing proportions within a composition can relate to different kinds of balance or symmetry, and can help establish visual weight
Dominance/Emphasis
The principle of visual organization that suggests that certain elements should assume more importance than others in the same composition. It contributes to organic unity by emphasizing the fact that there is one main feature and that other elements are subordinate to it.
Variety
is the complement to unity and harmony, and is needed to create visual interest. Without unity and harmony, an image is chaotic and “unreadable;”
Movement
is the path our eyes follow when we look at a work of art,
Rhythm
A continuance, a flow, or a feeling of movement achieved by the repetition of regulated visual information.
Art or “Sining”
is defined as the different manners of expressing human skills and imagination in the creation of aesthetic conditions, objects and presentations.
