PRINCIPLES OF ART  Learning Objectives: At the end of this lesson, you should be able to: 1. enumerate the different Principles of Art; 2. differentiate the Principles of Art; 3. illustrate example of different Principles of Art; and 4. explain the relevance of the Principles of Art. Introduction Design is an organized creative arrangement of the elements of art such as line, color, shape, and form or texture. Composition is the arrangement of the elements in an artwork according to the principles of art that include emphasis, harmony, proportion, rhythm, unity balance, movement, and variety to create a unified artwork. BALANCE Balance in an artwork is the placement of all elements of the composition so that their visual weights seem evenly distributed. It is the quality which makes the composition of the artwork stable. There are three kinds of balance.  Formal balance or symmetrical balance is a type of balance in which the contents on either side of a center line are exactly the same. One side would mirror the other. Informal balance or asymmetrical balance is a type of balance in which the two sides of an artwork are not exactly alike, yet still appears pleasantly even. Radial balance occurs when all the elements in the composition radiate outward from the center or toward it.  EMPHASIS Emphasis is the principle of art concerned with making an element or object in a work stand out.  HARMONY Harmony is the principle of art concerned with combining related art elements to create a pleasing appearance. The parts of the composition should not clash with one another.  PROPORTION Proportion deals with the proper relation between two objects or parts. The parts of a work should relate to the other parts, as well as the entire composition. UNITY Unity is the arrangement of elements to create a feeling of oneness. When the parts of a work come together, the work has unity. Each part fits in with the others to create a single idea, quality, or a whole design. VARIETY Variety is the principle of art concerned with combining different art elements like colors, lines, shapes, and textures to increase visual interest.  RHYTHM Rhythm is the regular repetition of lines, shapes, colors, and other art elements in the same or similar ways to suggest flowing movement. The repetition of any art element over and over forms a pattern. Rhythmic patterns can be achieved by repetition, alternation, or progression. MOVEMENT Movement is the principle of art used to create the look and feel of action, and to guide the viewer’s eye throughout a work of art. Artists create movement through a careful blending of elements such as line and shape.  There are eight principles of art: balance, rhythm, Let’s Wrap It movement, emphasis, variety, proportion, unity, and harmony. Up The principles of art are guidelines that govern the way artists organize the elements of art.
