The Principles of Design
BalancePrinciple of Design concerned with equalizing visual forces, or elements, in a work of art. If a work has visual balance, the viewer feels that the elements have been arranged in a satisfying way.
SymmetryEqual on both sides
AsymmetryUnequal on both sides – adds visual
appeal
Radial BalanceRotates around a radius
Approximate Symmetry Paintings can be close
to symmetrical and still be balanced – the result is a more interesting work.
How does the painting here achieve approximate symmetry?
Repetition
Technique for creating rhythm and unity in which a small idea or single element appears again and again.

RhythmClick icon to add pictureThe Principle of
Design that indicates movement by the repetition of elements or objects. Visual rhythm is perceived through the eyes and is created by repeating positive spaces separated by negative spaces.
PatternClick icon to add pictureThe Principle
of Design that refers to a two-dimensional decorative visual repetition. A pattern has no movement and may or may not have a rhythm.
Types of Rhythm & Pattern
Motif (the unit that is repeated in visual pattern)
Motif repeated in no apparent pattern, with no regular spaces.
Random
Identical beats or motifs with equal amounts of space between them.
Regular
Add a second beat or motifChange placement or content of
original motifChange spaces between beats or
motifs
Alternating
Repeating wavy lines
Flowing
ProgressiveChange in the
beat each time it is repeated – a steady change with the beat different each time it appears
.
ContrastClick icon to add pictureTechnique
for creating a focal point by using differences in elements.
Movement
Click icon to add pictureThe Principle of Design used to create the look and feeling of action and to guide the viewer’s eyes throughout the work of art.
Emphasis
Click icon to add picturePrinciple of Design that makes one part of a work dominant over the other parts.
Emphasis Cont.
Focal point – The first part of a work that attracts your eye
Harmony – Creating unity by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts
Proportion
Click icon to add picturePrinciple of Design concerned with the size relationships of one part to another.
Proportion Cont.
Artists can also use exaggeration, distortion and scale
Variety How artists add interest to works of
art, designs, advertisements, etc. Transition – moves the eye from one
part to another Gradation – shading of colors that create a sense of space or distance
Unity The principle of design associated
with the arrangement of the elements of art to create a coherent whole
Combination of similar colors, lines, shapes, etc.
Just to review…the ten principles of design Balance Repetition Pattern Contrast Rhythm Movement Emphasis Proportion Variety Unity
