  1. Printmaking Looking at composition & principles of design

  2. Principles of design What are they again? • Unity: When all elements work together to communicate ideas or feelings. • Variety: Is achieved by introducing differences in the elements of a composition. • Emphasis: When one element or a combination of elements in an artwork commands more attention than anything else. • Rhythm: Is created by repeating specific elements or by use of progression in which an element gradually changes size, shape or color.

  3. Principles of Design Continued • Balance: Occurs when the visual weight in an artwork feels equally distributed. • Pattern: Repeating lines, shapes or other elements in a recognizable way over the surface. • Proportion: concerns size relationships between parts of an artwork. (Scale is size only).
