Standard 5.1 I can demonstrate understanding of the Principle of Design: Balance

Balance: Refers to the visual equalization of the Elements of Art in a work. 1. Symmetrical 2. Asymmetrical 3. Radial

Symmetrical: A design or composition with identical or nearly identical elements on opposite sides of a dividing line or central axis. Also know as formal balance. The Taj Mahal Agra, India c

Asymmetrical: A design or composition with different elements on opposite sides of a dividing line or central axis. Also known as informal balance. The Old Guitarist; Picasso, 1903

Radial Balance Elements branch out or radiate from the center axis. Rose Window and Lancets North Transept Chartres Cathedral Paris, France, 13th Century

Standard 5.2 I can demonstrate understanding of the Principle of Design: Emphasis

Emphasis: Generally the first element or form seen in a composition. May be the lightest or darkest part of the composition. It is used to draw attention to an area or areas. If that area is a specific spot or figure it is known as the FOCAL POINT. The Third of May, Francisco Goya Oil on Canvas. 1814

Contrast: Combining art elements to stress the differences between elements. For example, bright colors next to dull, geometric shapes next to organic, light values against dark. Conversion of Saint Paul Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio Oil on Canvas.1601.

Standard 5.8 I can demonstrate understanding of the Principle of Design: Variety

Variety Using different art elements throughout the composition. Used to keep the composition from getting boring Variety VARIETY Variety VARIETY I and the Village Marc Chagall Oil on Canvas, 1911
