  1. Principles of Art and Design Composition • An orderly arrangement of elements using the principles of design • The principles of design help you to carefully plan and organize the elements of art so that you will hold interest and command attention.  This is sometimes referred to as visual impact.

  2. Principles of Art and Design Principles of Compositional DesignThe principles of design are the laws or recipe for a good work of art.  The principles combine the elements of art and design to create an aesthetic placement of things that will produce a good design.

  3. Principles of Art and Design • Movement- the path the viewer's eye follows throughout an artwork. Movement is caused by using elements of art to guide the viewer's eyes throughout the artwork • Repetition (Rhythm, Pattern)-The recurrence of elements within a piece: colors, lines, shapes, values, etc. Any element that occurs is generally echoed, often with some variation to keep interest.

  5. Principles of Art and Design • Balance: The equilibrium of all forces involved. Symmetrical balance: Arrangement of elements that are similar on either side of a vertical axis. They may suggest exact equity but are varied sufficiently to prevent visual monotony. Asymmetrical balance: Arrangement of the visual units on either side of a vertical axis that are not identical but are placed to create a “felt” equilibrium of the visual space.

  8. Principles of Art and Design • Proportion- involves the relationship of size between objects- one part is relative to another-relationship between one element to another • Harmony- The adaptation of parts to one another so as to form a coherent whole.Harmony is achieved through the sensitive balance of variety and unity • Contrast- Change of stress and accent or emphasis to set off elements against each other.

  11. Principles of Art and Design • Unity- The whole or total effect of a work of art that results from the combination of all of its component parts. Typically, a unified work is one in which the elements all work harmoniously together in support of the concept -ties elements together, how they fit and belong together. Unity helps the design to be seen as one design instead of randomness all around your design.

  15. Principles of Art and Design • Dominance/Emphasis-focal point The relative importance of certain elements above others in the same composition. It establishes focus and supports unity by subordinating some elements or ideas in relation to others. -by contrast-isolation-placement
