  5. Balance: refers the the way the elements of art are organized in an artwork. Balance can be symmetrical, asymmetrical , or radial.

  6. When an artwork has symmetrical balance, it is the same on both sides. However, it doesn’t need to be exactly the same on both sides to be symmetrical. *It’s almost like there’s an invisible line down the middle of the artwork. Leonardo da Vinci, The Mona Lisa

  7. When an artwork has asymmetrical balance when its elements are placed unevenly in a piece, but appear to have the same “visual weight”. James McNeill Whistler, Whistler’s Mother, 1871

  8. When at artwork has radial balance, it’s elements are arranged around a central point.

  9. Directions • Your artwork must have symmetrical balance. • One side must be made entirely of organic shapes. The other side must be made entirely of geometric shapes.
