PRINCIPLES OF THREE DIMENSIONAL PRINCIPLES OF THREE DIMENSIONAL DESIGNDESIGN
Composition can be defined as the combination of multiple parts into a unified whole.
In a composition all elements work together as a team.
The principles of design describe ways in which these building blocks can be combined.

CREATING UNITY AND VARIETYCREATING UNITY AND VARIETY
Unity can be defined as similarity, oneness, togetherness, or cohesion
Variety can be defined as difference
Together they are the cornerstones of composition

REPETITION AND RHYTHM
UNITY
• Nothing distracts from the whole then you have unity.
• Unity without variation can be uninteresting.
• Unity with diversity generally has more to offer in both art and in life.
• Minimal can be very calming and at times even very evocative.
