  3. Unity • All parts of a design work together to create a feeling of wholeness Wayne Thiebaud, Three Machines

  4. Variety • The use of different lines, shapes, textures, colors or other elements to create interest in an artwork. Fernand Leger, Railway Crossing Wassily Kandinsky, On White 2

  5. Emphasis • A visual element is given more importance that others to catch and hold the viewer’s attention Da Vinci, Mona Lisa Georges Seurat, Circus Sideshow

  6. Pattern • A choice of lines, colors, or shapes that are repeated over and over, usually in a planned way.

  7. Proportion • The relation of one object to another in size, amount, or number. Also used to describe the human figure.

  8. Movement • Visual elements are combined to produce a sense of action, which helps the viewer’s eye to sweep the composition in a definite manner.
