BALANCE AND COLOR Art I

Balance  Balance is the principle of design concerned with equalizing the elements in a work of art.  Balance causes you to feel that the elements in the artwork have been arranged just right.  Central axis: a dividing line that works like the point of balance in the balance scale. Can be vertical or horizontal.

Formal Balance  Occurs when equal, or very similar, elements are placed on opposite sides of a central axis.  The axis can be real or imaginary

Symmetry  A special type of formal balance in which two halves of a balanced composition are identical, mirror images of each other.  (Bilateral symmetry)  Used to express dignity, endurance, and stability.  Approximate symmetry: a type of formal balance with small differences on either side of the axis.

Symmetry

Approximate Symmetry

Radial Balance  Radial balance occurs when the elements of a design come out (radiate) from a central point.  The axis is the center point.

Radial Balance

Informal Balance  Informal balance gives the viewer a comfortable feeling when looking at it.  Involves balance of unlike objects (two unlike objects have equal weight).  Another name for informal balance can be ASYMMETRICAL balance.  Seems less planned when in fact it takes more work to balance out the objects!

Informal (asymmetrical)

Your Assignment  You will be choosing to create either an ASYMMETRICAL balance design, radial balance OR a SYMMETRICAL design.  Your design will need to be unique to you! You will need to use the entire space provided.  We will be learning the color schemes – you will be incorporating a color scheme into your design using colored pencil shading techniques.

Objectives  Demonstrate knowledge of balance  Demonstrate knowledge of color schemes  Demonstrate craftsmanship with presentation of project  Demonstrate colored pencil shading techniques  Create an original balance design

Process  Step 1: Come up with a unique design. Research some designs in your textbook, on the internet, etc. You may combine images together to create a composition.  Sketch 3 ideas (thumbnails) in your sketchbook  Step 2: study the color schemes.  Step 3: choose a color scheme you wish to use on your project.  Step 4: Draw an outline on a final piece of paper and shade it in with colored pencil techniques.
