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 16:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289962709 Variety marcomb08 https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289966636 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 16:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289966636 Pattern/Repetition marcomb08 https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289968186 Pattern is the repeating of an object or symbol all over the work of art.

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. Rhythm creates a mood like music or dancing. To keep rhythm exciting and active, variety is essential.]]> 2022-09-09 16:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289970291 Unity/Harmony marcomb08 https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289974578 Unity is the feeling of harmony between all parts of the work of art, which creates a sense of completeness. ]]> 2022-09-09 16:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289974578 Empathy/Contrast marcomb08 https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2289976114 Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewer’s attention.

Cool colors are not overpowering and tend to recede in space. For this reason, cool colors typically make a space seem larger. Examples of cool colors include green, blue and violet (think calming blue waters).]]> 2022-09-21 16:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2307171198 Warm Colors marcomb08 https://padlet.com/marcomb08/Vocab/wish/2307172960 The phrase warm color is used to describe any color that is vivid or bold in nature.
