Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learn to identify and evaluate the principles of design—emphasis, repetition/pattern, movement/rhythm, contrast/variety, balance, proportion, and unity—in their own artworks. They use accurate vocabulary to describe these principles and compare expressive properties like meaning and symbolism. Through observation, creation, and reflection, students develop visual literacy skills and deepen their understanding of how design choices communicate ideas and feelings in art.
