  1. The Principles of Design The Principles of Design are ways that you organize the Elements of Art…

  2. Balance How visual weight is distributed to create equilibrium within a work of art. Symmetrical: Same on both sides Asymmetrical: Different but still balanced

  3. Contrast Contrast is showing differences between the Elements to create interest. Three Muscians by Picasso

  4. Examples of contrast • Smooth-rough • Plain-patterned • Warm-cool • Large shapes-small shapes • Geometric shapes-organic organic shapes • Light values-dark values • Bright colors-neutral colors

  5. Emphasis Greater attention on certain areas, objects, elements or feelings in a work of art, for example, to emphasize color for mood or importance.

  6. Movement Arranging the parts of a work of art to create a visual path through the work to the focal point.

  7. Pattern Repeating elements, such as line or shape, to create a surface decoration. The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

  8. Pattern can be regular or irregular.

  9. Rhythm A type of movement in art where some elements recur regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

  10. Rhythm can be regular or irregular.

  11. Unity A sense of oneness and wholeness in a work of art. Unity is when everything in the art work is tied together visually.

  12. Unity can be achieved by: • Similar colors • Grouping • Lining up edges • Overlapping objects • Repeated technique or texture • Perspective • Using a focal point

  13. The 7 Principles of Design • Balance • Contrast • Emphasis • Movement • Pattern • Rhythm • Unity

  14. PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN • BALANCE – equilibrium from the distribution of visual weight • CONTRAST – differences that create visual interest • EMPHASIS – greater attention given to an element for importance or mood • MOVEMENT – a visual path to the focal point • PATTERN – surface decoration created by repeating elements, such as line or shape. • RHYTHM - A type of movement in art where some elements recur regularly like the beat of music. • UNITY - A sense of oneness when in the artwork everything is tied together visually.
