NOTE

PRINCIPLES OF ART AND DESIGN

The principles of design are guidelines or concepts used by artists and designers to organize the elements of art within a composition. They help create visually harmonious, balanced, and engaging artworks.

The following are some principles of design:

  1. Balance: The distribution of visual weight in a composition to create stability and harmony. There are three types of balance:

   - Symmetrical balance: Elements are evenly distributed on either side of a central axis, creating a mirror image.

   - Asymmetrical balance: Different elements are arranged in a way that achieves balance through contrast and variation.

   - Radial balance: Elements radiate outward from a central point, creating a sense of equilibrium.

  1. Emphasis: Also known as focal point, emphasis refers to the area or element within a composition that commands the viewer's attention. It can be achieved through contrast, isolation, placement, or scale.
  2. Contrast: The juxtaposition of different elements to create visual interest and emphasis. This can include variations in color, value, texture, shape, size, or direction.
  3. Rhythm: The repetition or alternation of elements within a composition to create a sense of movement or flow. Rhythm can be achieved through regular patterns, sequences, or variations in spacing and intervals.
  4. Unity: The cohesive relationship between the elements of art within a composition. Unity ensures that all parts of the artwork work together to create a harmonious whole. It can be achieved through repetition, continuity, and consistency of style or theme.
  5. Proportion: The relative size and scale of elements within a composition. Proportion helps create a sense of balance and harmony, ensuring that objects and forms are appropriately sized in relation to each other and the overall composition.
  6. Hierarchy: The organization of elements within a composition to establish a visual hierarchy or order of importance. This guides the viewer's eye through the artwork and emphasizes key elements or focal points.
