The Principles of Design- are rules; which help artists organize shapes, lines, forms, and colors to communicate effectively. Also to create a sense of unity in the piece of art.
Balance- when the visual "weight" of an artwork feels equally distributed.
4 Types of Balance- Symmetry (same as it is on the right and left), approximately symmetrical (almost symmetrical), asymmetry (opposite of symmetrical), radial (the same if you divide it anyway).
Emphasis- When one element in an artwork appears to be more important or attract the most attention. You can do it in 3 ways: Placement, Contrast (something is really different than what's around it e.g. color, shape, etc), and Grouping (when an artist decides to put a bunch of elements they want you to focus on).
Rhythm and Movement- how the artist guides the artist through a work of art. Artist do this in 5 ways, repetition (same elements, alternating elements, progression (element is repeated but changing, *makes the illusion that it has distance*), leading lines (lines in the picture that you travel through the painting aka a path), implied movement (when the artist create movement in the picture: body position, how things get affected by movement), optical movement (when you repeat a line or shape that create an illusion), and actual movement (when artist make things ACTUALLY move).
Proportion- we are talking about the size relationship of parts to one another or to the whole.
(Color, Shape, Form) You want it also to convey a story behind the art...think about how it looks and possibility to create a story or emotional component.
Unity- a feeling that everything in the picture works together somehow.
Variety- can happen by introducing differences into the picture to increase visual interest.
