Chapter Five notes ❖ Principles of Design ➔ The principles of design in art are a set of guidelines or concepts that artists use to create visually appealing and compelling compositions. These principles provide a framework for organizing and arranging various elements within a work of art, such as lines, shapes, colors, textures, and spaces. ➔ Composition:- The arrangement of all visual elements in a 2D work of art. ➔ Design:- The arrangement of all visual elements in a 3D and 2S work of art.

➔ The Principles of Design serve as a set of guidelines that artists employ to shape their artistic compositions. ❖ Unity and Variety ➔ Unity and variety are two essential principles in art that help create visual interest and balance within a composition. ★ Unity:- is a sense of oneness, of things belonging together and making up a coherent whole. ★ Variety:- is the difference that provides interest. ★ Unity can be achieved through the repetition of particular visual elements, consistent use of color schemes or styles, or the presence of a dominant theme or concept. It provides a sense of order and helps the viewer perceive the artwork as a unified entity.

★ Visual unity:- unity based on the elements of shape, line, color, and so on. ★ Conceptual Unity:- unity through ideas. Annette Messager. Mes Voeux. 1989. Framed photographs and handwritten texts, suspended with twine, 59 × 15 ¾". ❖ Balance ➔ Balance in art refers to the distribution of visual weight within a composition. It involves the arrangement and placement of elements to create a sense of equilibrium and stability. ★ Visual weight:- apparent "heaviness" or "lightness" of the forms arranged in a composition. This is gauged by how much a shape draws our attention.

➔ When visual weight is equally distributed to either side of a felt or implied center of gravity, we feel that the composition is balanced. ★ Balance can be achieved through various methods, including the use of symmetry, asymmetry, or radial balance. ❖ Symmetrical Balance ➔ Symmetrical balance is when the forms of the composition mirror each other across a central axis.
