24 The Principles of Art What we use to organize the Elements of Art, or the tools to make art.

25 THE ELEMENTS and PRINCIPLES WORK HAND AND HAND WHEN CREATING ARTWORK!!!!

26 Principles of Art PATTERN RHYTHM MOVEMENT BALANCE CONTRAST EMPHASIS UNITY

27 PATTERN and Repetition The repeating of an object or symbol. It can be planned or random repetitions. Gustav Klimt

28 PATTERN WHAT IS REPEATED? IS IT PLANNED OR RANDOM?

29 RHYTHM RHYTHM A regular repetition of elements to produce the look and feel of movement. Marcel Duchamp

30 RHYTHM WHAT MAKES YOUR EYES MOVE THROUGH THE WORK? DO REPEATED THINGS LIKE LINES, SHAPES OR COLOR KEEP YOUR EYES MOVING? IF SO, HOW?

31 MOVEMENT The path the viewer’s eye takes through the artwork, often to focal areas.

32 MOVEMENT WHAT MAKES YOUR EYES MOVE THROUGH THE ARTWORK?

33 BALANCEBALANCE The way the elements are arranged to create a feeling of stability in a work. Alexander Calder

34 Symmetrical Balance The parts of an image are organized so that one side mirrors the other. Leonardo DaVinci

35 SYMMETRICAL BALANCE ARE BOTH SIDES THE SAME? HOW ARE THEY THE SAME?

36 Asymmetrical Balance When one side of a composition does not reflect the design of the other. James Whistler

37 ASYMMETRICAL BALANCE ARE BOTH SIDES DIFFERENT? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

38 RADIAL SYMMETRY Symmetrical Design which is circular.

39 RADIAL BALANCE DOES THE DESIGN HAVE A CENTER AXIS AND FORM A CIRCLE? IS THE DESIGN THE SAME?

40 CONTRAST A large difference between two things to create interest and tension. Ansel Adams Salvador Dali

41 CONTRAST HOW ARE DIFFERENCES REPRESENTED? ARE THERE DARKS AGAINST LIGHT? BRIGHTNESS AGAINST DULLNESS?

42 EMPH A SIS The focal point of an image, or when one area or thing stand out the most. Jim DineGustav Klimt

43 EMPHASIS WHAT GRABS YOUR ATTENTION? HOW DOES IT GRAB YOUR ATTENTION?
