This artists’ practice may fall under the following categories: folk, architecture, maritime transport, weaving, carving, performing arts, literature, graphic and plastic art, ornament, textile or fiber art, pottery and other artistic expressions of traditional culture.

The type of balance in which there are more BALANCE than slight differences between the divided areas of a work, yet there is an overall sense of Balance is the concept of visual equilibrium, and relates to our physical sense of balance. It is a reconciliation of balance. opposing forces in a composition that results in visual stability. Most successful compositions achieve balance in one of two ways: symmetrically or asymmetrically. 💡 When the elements are arranged equally on either side of a central axis, the result is Bilateral symmetry. This axis may be horizontal or vertical. It is also possible to build formal balance by arranging elements equally around a central point, resulting in radial symmetry. In architectural works like the United States Capitol – the house in which the laws of the land are created – repetition and symmetry can imply rationality Balance in a three dimensional object is easy to and decorum, tying the structure of the building to a understand; if balance isn't achieved, the object tips certain symbolic ideal. over. To understand balance in a two dimensional composition, we must use our imaginations to carry this three dimensional analogy forward to the flat surface.
