If the design was a scale, these elements should be balanced to make a design feel
stable. In symmetrical balance, the elements used on one side of the design are
similar to those on the other side; in asymmetrical balance, the sides are different
but still look balanced. In radial balance, the elements are arranged around a central
point and may be similar.]]> 2022-09-09 16:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289967581 Emphasis/Contrast oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289968091 Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention. Usually the
artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area could
be different in size, color, texture, shape, etc.

contrast refers to the arrangement of opposite elements and effects. For example, light and dark colors, smooth and rough textures, large and small shapes. ]]> 2022-09-09 16:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289968091 Movement/Rythm oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289969449 Movement is the path the viewer’s eye takes through the work of art, often to focal areas. Such movement can be directed along lines, edges, shape, and color within the
work of art.

Rhythm is created when one or more elements of design are used repeatedly to create a feeling of organized movement.]]> 2022-09-09 16:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289969449 Pattern/Repetition oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289969883 Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.

Repetition works with pattern to make the work of art seem active. The repetition of elements of design creates unity within the work of art. ]]> 2022-09-09 16:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289969883 Proportion/Scale oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289974859 Proportion is the feeling of unity created when all parts (sizes, amounts, or number) relate well with each other.

Scale can refer to the relative size of one object compared to another, typically the size of the artwork to the viewer's body. Scale can also refer to the size relationships of different visuals within a singular piece of art.]]> 2022-09-09 16:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289974859 Variety oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289977256 Variety is the use of several elements of design to hold the viewer’s attention and to guide the viewer’s eye through and around the work of art. ]]> 2022-09-09 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289977256 Unity/Harmony oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289980200 Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness.

Harmony is the principle of art that creates cohesiveness by stressing the similarities of separate but related parts. One should note that harmony is not the same as unity. Harmony does, however, enhance unity in a work of art.]]> 2022-09-09 16:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2289980200 Radial Symmetry oliverjplee https://padlet.com/oliverjplee/vocab/wish/2300344894 symmetry around a central axis, as in a starfish or a tulip flower.
