What is… AP 2-D Design
(The core of visual thinking is) “how an image is composed of its parts”- Rudolf Arnheim Sky and Water MC Escher
The unifying idea for the portfolio is that the student focuses on making decisions about how to use the principles and elements of art to create works of art that convey meaning. The Survivors Käthe Kollwitz
King Oliver Jazz Band The orchestration of the Elements of Art according to the Principles of Design is what is evaluated in the 2-D design portfolio.

Unity = Law of Similarity & Law of Proximity Law of Similarity The mind groups similar*elements into collective entities. *similar in color, form, or brightness. Law of Proximity The mind sees elements that are close together as being related. Who is the AntiSemite? Paanat Francisco Argumosa
Unity Similar shapes close together become a group & unify the composition Lee Friedlander Boy in Window, Baltimore
Unity Similarity of textures promotes unity Jerusalem Anselm Kiefer
Unity Repeated color harmonies promote unity Fiesta George Tooker
Unity Repeated shapes promote unity Lantern Bearers Maxfield Parrish
Variety Contrasting color, pattern and texture create visual interest X Law of Similarity The mind groups similar*elements into collective entities. *similar in color, form, or brightness for example Law of Similarity - disrupted La Musique Henri Matisse Law of Common Fate Elements with the same moving direction are perceived as a collective or unit Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.
Variety = Law of Similarity - Disrupted Cindy Sherman Untitled Film Still #21 Focal point created by contrast of shape
Variety = Law of Continuity disrupted Focal point created by isolating a shape Spring Way Romare Bearden
Focal point created by color contrast editorial design Richard Hart
Variety = Law of Common Fate & Law of Continuity Focal point created by “lines of force” - elements direct the eye toward focal point Sharkeys George Bellows Law of Common Fate Elements with the same moving direction are perceived as a collective or unit Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns.

Rhythm = Law of Continuity Law of Continuity The mind continues visual, auditory, and kinetic patterns. The Mysteries of Harris Burdick Chris Van Allsburg
Rhythm visual elements repeat in such a way as to evoke a “beat” “regular” rhythm Rayograph 1926 Man Ray
Balance Equal distribution of visual “weight” within a composition - symmetrical / asymmetrical I want to understand Tabor Photo-graphic
Balance - Visual Weight Compositional “hot spots” - a reaction to the experience of gravity upon the body, and the way text is read.
Symmetrical Balance virtually identical elements in each half of the composition Identical twins Diane Arbus
Asymmetrical Balance Equal distribution of “visual weight” within quadrants of composition, but not identical elements Railroad Ferry Hudson River, New York Andreas Feininger
Many small or complex elements can balance a large simple one: Model in Backlight Pierre Bonnard
Small dark elements balance large light ones Model in Backlight Pierre Bonnard
Proportion Size relationships within the composition Millions stand behind me John Heartsfield
Proportion Relative size of elements compared to an external standard What the water gave me Frida Kahlo
