What are The Principles of Design?
The Principles of Design arethe ways that artists use the
Elements of Art to create good Compositions (artwork)

![Page 6: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Balance:
This principle of design refers to the visual equalization of the elements in
a work of art. There are three major forms of
balance
![Page 7: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The three major forms of balance:
• Asymmetrical balance: where equilibrium is achieved by the balance differences in the art elements within a composition.
• Symmetrical balance: where the art elements in a composition are balanced in a mirror-like fashion (it does not have to be exact but close).
• Radial balance: a kind of balance where the elements branch or radiate out from a central point.
![Page 8: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What kind of balance is illustrated in this painting Oriental Poppies, by Georgia O’Keefe?
![Page 9: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If you said symmetrical balance, you are correct!
If you could visually divide the paper in half. There would be a poppy on both sides. No one side dominates the pictures.
Neither poppy appears to be more important than the other.
![Page 10: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What type of balance is shown in this painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black: Portrait of the Painter's Mother (commonly known
as Whistler’s Mother), by James Whistler?
![Page 11: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
If you said, asymmetrical balance, you were right! The large form of the woman is "visually equal" to the black curtain and white painting on the wall. This makes the painting appear balanced.
![Page 12: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What type of balance is shown in this stained glass artwork, Rose Window?
![Page 13: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Radial Balance! Look at the spiral or spinning effect of the pattern. The axis is the center point and the design or pattern appears to
"radiate" from that point.
![Page 14: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What type of balance is shown here?
Here the larger figures to the right are balanced by the many smaller figures to the left. Also, Seurat added additional "light" to the left. How does this add balance to the painting?
George Seurat, (French) 1859-1891, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte
![Page 15: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What type of balance is shown here?
The monkey and the the cat balance each other out on either side of the woman.
Freda Khalo, Autorretarto con Collre de Espinas y Colibri,
![Page 16: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ContrastA design principle that emphasizes differences between the art elements.
For example, a painting may have bright colors that contrast with dull colors or angular shapes that contrast with rounded shapes.
Sharp contrast draws attention and can direct a viewer to a focal point within a work of art.
![Page 17: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In Spiral of Emotion by Joseph Perkins we see a sharp contrast between darks and lights which he has balanced out with
some middle tones.
![Page 18: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In this work we see sharp lines and shapes against softer lines and shapes. We also see sharp contrast between colors.
Marlene Healey, Sections of my Destiny

Emphasis
The principle of design that is concerned with dominance; the development of a main idea or center of interest (also called focal point)
![Page 20: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Where is the focal point in Wassily Kandinsky’s, Composition VII ?
![Page 21: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Kandinsky emphasized the large black circle in the upper left corner of his work. The object is different from
everything else in the painting and therefore it "stands out".
![Page 22: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
In Francisco Goya’s, The Shootings of May Third 1801, where is the area of emphasis?
![Page 23: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Goya "lights" up the painting in much the same way a spotlight lights up the actors on a stage. Goya creates a very light value around the area he wants you
to see. The man in the white shirt is the focal point of the painting. He uses value contrast to emphasize this area.
![Page 24: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Variety
Variety is achieved when the art elements are combined in various ways to increase visual interest.
For instance, an assortment of shapes that are of a variety of sizes attracts more attention than an assortment of shapes all the same size.
![Page 25: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let’s look at Kandinsky’s painting again. How is the artist showing variety in this work?
![Page 26: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Kandinsky used a variety of lines, shapes and colors to give this painting interest. He also overlapped some of those elements.
![Page 27: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Unity/Harmony
This principle refers to the visual quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through
effective use of the elements of art and principles of design
![Page 28: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What do you think Cezanne used to keep this painting, Mt. Victoria,
unified or working together?
![Page 29: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cezanne used blues, yellows and greens. By using related colors (remember blue and yellow make green), the piece
appears to work as a whole.
![Page 30: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Proportion
The relationship in size of one component (part) of a work of art to
another
![Page 31: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How is this artist, Caravaggio, showing correct proportion?
![Page 32: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sometimes artists chose to distort or exaggerate the proportions of the subjects involved.
Alberto Giacometti

Rhythm
Rhythm refers to a way of utilizing the art elements to produce the look and feel of rhythmic
movement with a visual tempo or beat
![Page 34: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Here is an example of a cut paper tessellation design. What is used to create the appearance of rhythm in this
work?
![Page 35: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Possible answers could be:The fish design is repeated over and over.
The colors white and orange appear as a pattern.The lines that form the scales of the fish.
The black triangles that decorate the backbone of the fish.
![Page 36: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Movement
Movement is the design principle that uses some of the elements of art to produce the look of action or
to cause the viewer’s eye to sweep over the art work in a certain manner.
![Page 37: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In Starry Night, famed artist Vincent Van Gogh creates movement in his sky. How does he show us this?
![Page 38: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The swirling motion of the colors in the sky showing the artist's interpretation of wind.
The repetition of the brushstrokes and paint dabs. The stars are all yellow and round, vary in size and placement, and have "halos"
of light encircling them.
Look at the painting and concentrate on how your eyes bounce from one star to another. This is an example of how an artist can create movement in a work of
art.
![Page 39: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Pattern
Repetition of an element of art (i.e., shapes, lines, or colors) to achieve
decoration or ornamentation.
![Page 40: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

How has the artists use of pattern enhanced this piece?
Would this piece be as interesting if the artist had used a solid background rather than this patterned one?

Repetition
A way of combining art elements so that the same elements are used over and over to achieve balance and harmony.
![Page 43: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ben Shahn has shown repetition in his work, Supermarketby repeating the same subject over and over to create an
interesting composition. He used the same type and thickness of line and the same shapes
![Page 44: The principles of design](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081518/548e15b9b4795905688b4736/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
