Harmony

Harmony exists when all elements in a work of art are coordinated.
Colors are coordinated for a pleasing effect.
Elements are arranged to create a unified whole.
Visual elements (colors, shapes, textures) combine naturally and pleasingly.

Rhythm

Rhythm is created when one or more design elements are repeated.
Variations in repeated elements create a feeling of organized movement.
Repetition, pattern, contrast, gradation, and echo create rhythm.
It creates a visual or auditory pattern, conveying flow and connection.

Balance

Balance is the distribution of visual weight in a composition, promoting stability and harmony.
Symmetrical balance: Design is the same on both sides of a central line.
Asymmetrical balance: Elements are different on each side but are arranged to create equal visual weight.
Radial balance: Elements are arranged around a central point (e.g., like spokes on a bicycle).

Conditioning Exercises

Conditioning exercises tone and shape the body using various muscle groups.
Strength training (deadlifts, bench presses) builds muscle strength.
Cardio and aerobic (jogging) improves cardiovascular health.
Bodyweight exercises (push-ups, lunges) don't require equipment.
Flexibility exercises (yoga) improve range of motion.
Stretching (child's pose) reduces muscle tension.
Circuit training (burpees) rotates between exercises with little rest.

Speed of Sounds in Music

Tempo refers to the pace of music.
Allegro is a fast tempo marking.
Andante is a slow tempo marking.
